Take the next few days to really think about your Inner Circle of friends, families, regulars, and the like. These will be the people you’ll be reaching out to for contributions TWO DAYS before the campaign goes public. This first round of contributions will get things going and start your campaign with a bang! 💥 We’ve seen that campaigns that have contributions before launching publicly raise 2x as much as campaigns that don’t!
Start compiling names here with how you’ll reach them (think email, text, phone, in person, pigeon carrier).
How to talk to them:
Be honest, direct, and appreciative of all of their support so far. Don’t forget to let them know what they’ll be getting in return.
Email example: “Hi ____! I have some really exciting news… Bunbury’s Coffee Shop is growing! I’m launching a NuMarket campaign to help me with the future of Bunbury’s and you’re one of the first people to know. You’ve been such a huge part of my journey so far and your support has meant so much to me. The best part? Your contribution gets you get 120% back in credits to spend with us after the campaign ends! You can contribute and learn more about what we’re funding here!
Sincerely, Debbie and Team Bunbury’s
