You have to drive some of your own traffic to the campaign first. The biggest mistake made here is overcomplicating the messaging. Meaning, when describing the product, what will I lead with every time that resonates the most with my customer? For example, we recently launched LoftTek Adventure Jacket on Kickstarter that has a lot of features….
Instead, they celebrated their early success, but then to their dismay… the backers stopped coming in. Check out this KickTraq chart from a campaign we launched — Neck Hammock. The valley is that dip in pledges you experience very soon after the initial launch. And after a big launch, it can be a pretty jarring experience, but getting past it is very possible. The best way to successfully navigate the valley of death is to have a strategy around digital advertising and PR.
We go into more detail on how to execute these strategies here. In-depth strategy and tactics to launch your product on…. Sign in. Reason of failure: An unfortunate combination of overblown confidence and underwhelming skill. The founder of Zano had previously tried working with drones but failed many times in implementing the technology.
However, he still kept trying, and lying that they were functional. Lesson: Really look at the videos of the campaigns you want to back. It could open your cold beers, charge your phone, be your best friend, pour margaritas for your friends from its 18v battery-powered blender, construct a clay oven from scratch….
It could also grow 8 tomatoes, make a pizza from recycled underwear, and find your long lost brother who you left in the Amazon rainforest at age 34 when your half-human half-ogre parents decided to shake the family together. Ok, maybe the pizza part was a lie but it could do a lot of things. Why this lesson is not always right: You need to also know that some campaigners are willing to produce something that is not profitable to them just to have a presence in the market and establish a brand.
Skarp was created by a group of guys who said they found the laser frequency at which both light and dark hairs would melt. Skarp has one technology covered but they need so much work to finish their product. Super Kickstarter failure. They made a great product, regularly updated the backers, had a great tone, and I believe, good customer service.
Until they kept delaying the shipping and eventually just disappeared, keeping their 70, backers waiting. Lesson: Check that the campaigners put their names, pictures, and links on the campaign page, and their LinkedIn. Make sure they are actual real people. Bonus: eventually Znaps was tied to a Hong Kong crowdfunding scam circle.
The reason for failure they said in a statement was that no European manufacturers could produce the Amabrush at that price. It was a complex brush that needed automatic tools — which are full of delays and unexpected costs. They settled for Asian manufacturers instead, but the product quality was low and by then they had used up all their money. The creator had years of experience in business and apparently worked in Silicon Valley. Lesson: Check if the creators have successful previous crowdfunding campaigns.
The Ouya Console was a kick in the face to the world of gaming consoles. They wanted everyone to be able to develop and play games in an inexpensive way. As the console was open source and there were no good exclusive game development plans made, people just uploaded their unfinished projects to the Ouya and there was no quality control.
Lesson: When a team starts a project this scale, their team should have the skills set equal to, or better, than established businesses like Xbox and PlayStation.
