Are you looking for ways to give your fundraising campaign a real boost? You’re in the right place! Follow our five-step plan to fire up your campaign and maximise your impact.
1. Leverage Instagram Effectively
- Post on your feed and reels: Share your crowdfunding campaign on your Instagram feed and especially through Reels. Reels have a higher engagement rate and can reach a broader audience.
- Pin Your Post: Pin the campaign post on both Facebook and Instagram to keep it at the top of your profile for easy visibility.
- Update Your Bio Link: Change the link in your Instagram bio to your project URL. This ensures that anyone visiting your profile can easily access your campaign.
- A clear campaign image: Create a clear campaign image to highlight what you’re offering so people know at first glance (e.g., if you’re running a prize draw, your image might say “Win tickets to Love Saves the Day”).
- Tag Supporters: Tag your biggest supporters in your posts and stories. Encourage them to share your campaign with their followers to expand your reach.
2. Create a Countdown Asset
Ramp up the excitement at the start of your campaign and as your campaign end date approaches:
- Countdown Posts: Create visually appealing countdown assets (e.g., “5 days to go”, “4 days to go”, etc.) to remind your audience of the time left to contribute.
- Daily Reminders: Post these countdown updates daily to maintain momentum and urgency.
3. Engage with Your Audience
- Interactive Stories: Use Instagram Stories to engage with your audience through polls, Q&A sessions, and behind-the-scenes content.
- Live Sessions: Host live sessions to provide updates, answer questions, and connect with potential supporters in real-time.
4. Utilise All Social Media Platforms
- Cross-Post Content: Share your campaign across all your social media platforms, including Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and any others you use.
- Tailored Messaging: Customise your message to fit the tone and audience of each platform for better engagement.
