CrowdFunding BOOTSTRAP - “ MARKETING ASK” - How to Ask Anyone for Anything - The Fundraising
CrowdFunding billboard
You know that in order to create the best environment for Crowdfund success, you need
to have a marketing plan -- because Crowdfunding and Marketing go hand-in-hand.
But what if you need to raise some money to fund your bootstrap marketing budget in the
first place? Afterall, you know you likely need to spend
some money in order to attract the crowd and attract donations.
If you are in this situation, you most definitely are not alone.
For an indepth look into this topic, please visit crowdfundingbillboard.com
But in general, when you are planning your “ASK”, You need to focus on two specific
assets you have:
* Passion * Relationships
PASSION
When it comes to talking with others and Asking for support, the most important thing you
can be is “Passionate” about your idea. You need to be able to show others that you
are: (1.5 seconds)
* trustworthy and energized about your idea * that you are eager and capable of putting
your sweat equity behind it. * and that you have been thoughtful in developing
and planning your idea.
RELATIONSHIPS
Your other asset is your existing relationships.
You must be willing to approach your inner circle of family and friends to financially
support a marketing budget for your idea.
It’s intimidating - we get it.
But if you are not willing to ask the people who know you best and who you will be most
accountable to, how will you be able to ask the crowd to back your crowdfunding project?
As you are planning your “ASK” - Consider your answers to these questions:
* who specifically you will be asking? (1 second)
* what exactly you are asking for? (1 second) - How much?
- When do you need it? - What, if anything you are giving in return
- Be Clear, Be Specific and - Be Transparent.
* Also - Understand there will be people who say “No”
and that’s okay! Don’t let the No’s get you down, it is part of the process.
Remember Some will support and Some won’t.. Just think to yourself..So What and move on
to the next person.
* But in your head Expect a YES.
Remember, when asking for anything, Attitude matters. Believe in your idea and believe
in yourself.
* Last - Be sure to express to the people you talk to how their support will make a
difference. People like to know their financial support
is doing something specific and concrete. Make them understand why you need what you
are asking for.
For example you can say, “I’m trying to raise $2,500 to fund a marketing budget to
give me the best chance of Crowdfunding success. Will you support me with a $100 donation to
reach my goal?”
Keep in Your Mind….Be Passionate, and Utilize your Relationships to build your bootstrap
marketing budget.
