Whether you have chosen to place your crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, Indiegogo or another crowdfunding platform, if your project is not seen it can not be successful. The most common question we have received over the past two years of involvement in the crowdfunding industry is “How do I promote my crowdfunding project?“. This question is not only common but one of the most difficult to answer. There are some incredible full-service Public Relations firms that will no doubt help you achieve the goal of advertising your crowdfunding project, the problem most crowdfunding creators run in to is the up to $10,000 a month price tag these services cost.

Based on the fact that most Kickstarter , Indiegogo and GoFundMe crowdfunding project creators are working on a minimal budget, we have created Crowdfund911. The services offered are based on offering maximum value for a minimal price, with Social Media promotion for your crowdfunding project starting as low as $29. Full Service Crowdfunding Campaign consulting from Crowdfund911 will cost $95 an hour with a 5 hour minimum. This service can be utilized for any piece of the crowdfunding campaign process, including campaign review and suggestions, pre-crowdfunding activities, crowdfunding promotions and advice on crowdfunding perk fulfillment.

You MUST understand as Campaign creator that at $29, Crowdfund911 will NOT guarantee funding but your project will be seen by a crowd of industry professionals, writers, crowdfunding backers and other campaign creators. Real People with a Real interest in the Crowdfunding Industry. Please be wary of ANY crowdfunding promotional service that guarantees the financial success of your crowdfunding campaign. If they had the “magic bullet” to crowdfunding success would they be sharing it for $100, $500, even $10,000?

FULL DISCLOSURE: The Founder and CPO (Chief Promotions Officer) of Crowdfund911 is also the founder of Crowdfunding-Website-Reviews.com Our ranking for this service is NOT objective but we are comfortable that your crowdfunding project will get more value for the dollar then any other crowdfunding promotional service on the market.
We have worked for over two years establishing a proficiency in the Crowdfunding Industry and have participated in over 180 Crowdfunding campaigns to date. Our participation has been as Crowdfunding Project Creators, Campaign Managers, Promotional support and of course campaign backers (we love supporting crowdfunding campaigns).

Founded by Rose Spinelli, a journalist and trans-media writer, The Crowdfundamental’s focus is on the power of excellent storytelling and communication skills to achieve crowdfunding success. There are many elements that influence your crowdfunding campaign, and The Crowdfundamentals covers them all—from your narrative pitch to your pitch video to working with the media and using social media effectively. But it all starts with how you converse with your audience. We believe telling your story clearly and compellingly is elemental and essential to getting you on the track to achieving your goals.

Rose Spinelli also covers industry news through her Tip of the Week column on Crowdsourcing.org and a guest contributor on CrowdfundInsider.com.

Introductory email from Deliver the Crowd, founder Chas Salmore:
Our agency website is finally “live”. www.deliverthecrowd.com. Our Press Release is attached.

Please let us know what you think. We welcome your interest and look forward to working with you and any prospects who are considering crowdfunding to raise capital.

As you well know, over 50%+ of crowdfundng efforts fail. Why? Many businesses and individuals who venture into crowdfunding don’t know how to successfully position, market, advertise and promote their offers. www.deliverthecrowd.com has assembled a team of seasoned video-pitch producers, brand positioning experts, social-media and PR professional, as well as reward fulfillment, digital media buyers and back-end investor relations professionals who handle every aspect of the campaign, from start-to-finish. We even help our clients select the perfect crowdfunding platform for their offer, no matter if it is equity, debt, donations or reward-based.

Press Release from Deliver The Crowd:

Los Angeles, CA (September 10, 2013) – The launch of Deliver The Crowd, LLC, a specialized marketing
and PR agency focused on generating investor interest in financings for small to large equity, debt and
rewards-based crowdfunding campaigns, was announced today by Deliver the Crowd Co-founder &
CEO, Rand Bleimeister.
Deliver the Crowd’s unique portfolio services equip their clients with powerful, innovative marketing and
PR campaigns that deliver measurable crowdfunding results. Each client’s business is carefully
positioned with the correct investor audience and supported with compelling content that engages,
inspires and drives investment. Whether the campaign is to raise funds for equity, rewards, debt or
donations, Deliver the Crowd provides each client with the marketing expertise required to gain
widespread recognition and reach their crowdfunding goals. The range of services offered includes PR,
social media marketing, video production, copywriting, email marketing, rewards development and
fulfillment, and post-campaign relationship management with contributors and investors.
“It used to be that you had to go through a financial institution like a bank to get funding for a novel or big
idea, but crowdfunding is changing all of that,” says Bleimeister, who prior to co-founding Deliver the
Crowd, ran several digital ventures in the broadcasting and media industries. “Crowdfunding can be a
great financing resource for a company, but unfortunately more than 50% of crowdfunding programs do
not achieve their goals—even on the two top tier platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo—mainly because of
weak marketing and PR. We’ve discussed this with numerous Broker-Dealers and equity-based
platforms, and they concur that companies who try to save money by managing their own marketing,
social media and PR are being penny wise and pound foolish, and are putting their campaigns at greater
risk of failure.”
Deliver the Crowd Announcement – Continued
“Deliver the Crowd helps our clients achieve successful crowdfunded financing results through well
thought out, professionally planned and executed marketing campaigns that start three to six months prior
to the kickoff of a financing event,” says Chas Salmore, co-founder and President of Deliver the Crowd.
“We leverage social media networks, advertising and PR resources to get the word out that your new
crowdfunding opportunity is now available for a limited time. We then track your portal traffic, follow-up on
questions from prospective investors and make sure your entire campaign is executed to realize optimum
results.”
Backed by 75+ years of combined professional staff experience and resources (including addressing
similar needs for numerous Fortune 500’s and top-tier Madison Avenue advertising agencies), Deliver
the Crowd skillfully empowers businesses and entrepreneurs to reach and exceed their crowdfunding
objectives. Once the campaign has been funded, Deliver the Crowd facilitates the fulfillment of all
crowdfunding pledges, and provides communications services that are specifically designed for
crowdfunding investors. Deliver the Crowd also continues to manage PR and social media marketing
efforts, post-campaign.

Full List of Crowdfunding Consultants reviews

Remember a Crowdfunding Consultant can not guarantee the financial success of your crowdfunding campaign, if they do we recommend you look elsewhere for the services you need. A crowdfunding consultant can help you write a campaign, create a video, promote your campaign but there is no way a legitimate consultant will guarantee success. Think about it, How could they?
