The Reddit community weighed in with recommendations from people who have researched the crowdfunding agency market and discovered that InventureX has one of the best reputations and a proven success rate.
That’s a huge accomplishment considering that about two-thirds of all self-directed crowdfunding goals never reach their targets.
Here are four crowdfunding hacks from our team of experts at InventureX for anyone who has ever wondered about the smart way to begin a campaign:
Hack 1: Research your ideal crowdfunding agency before teaming-up.
You’d never pick a business partner without a long, careful vetting process. Nor should you choose a crowdfunding agency without detailed research and due diligence. Keep in mind that some agencies are geared toward one specific product niche, like books or household appliances. Be certain that the agency you choose has significant experience working with campaigns for products in your category or has experience with a variety of verticals should your campaign fall outside the norm.
Then, when you have the agencies narrowed down to one or two candidates, dig deeper and look at their success rate, their management team, and their promotional history, making careful notes about the types of campaigns they conduct and whether they provide comprehensive client support.
Hack 2: Come prepared to pitch your crowdfunding idea.
You should be ready to give a one-minute pitch about your product or service. This short verbal nugget should contain all the key points about why your product is unique, fills a need, and can attract enough investors to make it financially viable.
Because so many creators forget this step, they often come to agency meetings with reams of written and digital data but no pitch. In many cases, agencies don’t really want to look at other data until they’ve heard the creator talk persuasively about the product or service. Be ahead of the crowd by preparing a pitch and memorizing it.
Hack 3: Team-up with the right crowdfunding agency.
All your effort can be wasted if you end up with the wrong agency. Some entrepreneurs take the wrong road and try to raise funds for a tech product with a literary agency, for example. Think of how you’d hire a personal trainer at the gym.
You need to find someone who understands your goals, has experience with projects like yours, and knows how to navigate social media for maximum effect. Would you hire a weightlifting coach to help you run your first marathon? Or enlist the aid of a swimming teacher to learn gymnastics? Of course not. The same principle applies to crowdfunding.
Hack 4: Trust the experts and commit to following winning processes.
At some point after hiring an agency, you’ll need to put your trust in those who have trod the path before, who have, in fact, trod the path hundreds of times. A competent agency, like InventureX, can show you how to work the promotional program they develop for your campaign. Smart entrepreneurs know when to let experts lead the way, and know when to trust the team. If you make a firm commitment to following a winning process set out by your agency’s team, then your chances for ultimate financial success will increase from day one.
