This is when to launch your crowdfunding project
The best months to launch a crowdfunding campaign are April, May, September, and October. Here’s why:
Crowdfunding is all about creating a buzz and getting people talking about your project. And what better way to do that then launching when everyone is already talking? In April and May, people are preparing for summer vacations. They’re in a good mood and looking for new things to get excited about.
September and October are also great months because they’re right after the summer lull. People are back from their vacations and ready to get involved in new projects. Plus, the holidays are right around the corner, so there’s already a lot of excitement in the air.
Did you know that there are also certain months that are just downright terrible for launching a campaign?
Here are the four worst months to launch your crowdfunding project, and why you should avoid them at all costs.
January is typically a slow month for most businesses, and crowdfunding is no different. People are still recovering from the holiday season and trying to get their finances in order after all of the spending. They're not looking to donate money to strangers online.
February is Valentine's Day, which means that people are more likely to spend their money on their significant other than on your project.
March is when everyone's taxes are due, so again, people are focused on their own finances and not looking to donate money to someone else.
If possible, it's best to carefully plan out your crowdfunding campaign within these months to optimize your chances at a successful crowdfunding project.
