Best Practices for Crowdfunding Campaigns

In running an equity crowdfunding campaign, include these best practices:

1. Tell a story — show how you came up with the idea for the product and how customers and partners validate it.
2. Prepare your investor network — build a list of potential investors who you can pursue.
3. Demonstrate support — start with your family and friends and use their investment to demonstrate investor support.
4. Use multiple channels — use several communication channels such as email, social media, and events to showcase your campaign.
5. Provide updates — keep the investors informed about progress with your campaign and company including information on sales, team, product, and fundraise.
6. Generate press coverage — find a writer for a publication and work with them to capture your campaign into their bigger story.
7. Include visuals — use imagery, including photos and videos. Images convey a great deal more information than words alone.
8. Understand your investor — test your campaign with investors you know to gauge what interests them and what they find compelling.
9. Plan the campaign — prepare your campaign from start to finish. You may need to add more steps as you go, but start the fundraise with a complete plan.
