Launch day is one of the most exciting for a crowdfunding campaign. It’s essential that your first degree (family, friends, those in your network you’re certain will support your efforts) and potential supporters know your campaign is ready to begin collecting money. Remind them with a personalized email.
In this post, you will learn:
- The best messages to send to potential supporters on day one of your fundraising campaign.
- Helpful links are included.
- Templates are provided to give you a starting point.
Purpose:
- Let the community know that your campaign is live.
- Remind them to support and share.
- Ask for support and provide instructions.
Why this is important:
Your launch is a big deal! Make sure everyone knows what your campaign is about and help them get excited.
TIP: People are much more likely to support your campaign if they are asked directly and personally. Take the time to personalize each message and send each message individually (NOT as a mass email). This will help you avoid sounding spammy or demanding.
