Preguntas frecuentes
How should I structure my launch day email campaign?
Send your first email early morning (6-8 AM) announcing the campaign is live with celebration tone and a clear call to action. Second email at midday (12-2 PM) showing initial momentum (backer count, funding percentage) creating FOMO. Third email in late afternoon (4-6 PM) reaching people during the commute. Fourth email around 8 PM for evening engagement. Space them 4-6 hours apart so people see them at different times. Lead with different angles: first email is announcement, second is momentum, third is social proof (early backer testimonials), fourth is deadline urgency. This staggered approach multiplies reach since people check email at different times.
What should I say in my first launch day email?
Lead with excitement and celebration of the moment. "After [X months] of work, we're finally live!" Make the value proposition crystal clear in the first sentence. Include what the product is, why it matters, and why now. Show a clear backer tier breakdown with pricing and what people get. Include a prominent call to action button. Add 1-2 strong testimonials or early backer quotes if you have them. Explain any special launch incentives (limited time pricing, exclusive tiers). Keep it short and scannable. Many people will decide to back in the first hour based on this email, so clarity matters more than persuasiveness.
How often should I send campaign update emails?
Send updates every 3-5 days during your campaign. That's about 2-3 emails per week. You can increase frequency to 4-5 per week in the final two weeks building urgency. Every update should have news: milestone reached, stretch goal unlocked, new backer tier, production progress, or compelling backer story. Avoid generic updates that feel like reminders. If you don't have news, don't send an email. Bad news (delay in production) should be communicated immediately to maintain transparency and trust. The goal is keeping your campaign top-of-mind without becoming annoying.
Should my campaign updates be different for backers vs. non-backers?
Absolutely yes. Backers get insider updates thanking them, showing production progress, and asking for referrals. Non-backers get why-they-should-care emails with social proof, addressing common objections, and limited-time incentives. People who viewed your campaign but didn't back get specific messaging overcoming their concerns (if you can guess them from previous emails they opened). Create at least three segments: (1) Backers - celebrate and retain, (2) Engaged non-backers (opened emails) - overcome objections, (3) General list - introduce the opportunity. Segment messaging increases conversion by 40-50% because each group hears why the campaign matters to them specifically.
How do I maximize final week urgency?.
In the final week, increase email frequency to daily or every-other-day. Lead with countdown messaging: "Only 6 days left" in subject lines. Show funding progress "We're at 85% funded, help us crush the final goal." Feature milestone achievements and stretch goals unlocked. Announce limited availability: "Only 15 deluxe packages left." Share FOMO-inducing testimonials from recent backers. Send a dedicated email on the final day with "Last 24 hours" subject line and "Last 12 hours" follow-up email 6 hours later. Final week emails often drive 30-50% of total campaign funding because urgency finally compels people to act. Make each email unique in subject line and angle to prevent ad blindness.
Should I do anything special for high-tier backers?
Absolutely. High-tier backers (premium packages, early bird pricing) deserve VIP treatment. Send them a personal thank you email within hours of backing. Give them exclusive updates about production progress before the general list. Ask them personally for testimonials or case studies. Offer additional perks for high-tier backers if your product allows (special naming, exclusive features, extended support). Create a VIP community space (private Slack, Facebook group) where high-tier backers connect. In your regular campaign updates, feature testimonials from high-tier backers prominently. This VIP treatment increases satisfaction and turns high-tier backers into long-term evangelists who refer their networks.
