Having your entire team promote your crowdfunding campaign can increase the effectiveness of your promotions significantly. We will often see the CEO or executive team of the company post on their LinkedIn accounts or share with their own networks but harnessing the power of your entire team can highlight supportive company culture, showcase different perspectives, and tap into many different networks.
Studies also show that when individuals share on their own profiles, it can generate 8x more engagement than content shared on the main company profile, making a huge difference in bringing in potential investors.
Ways your Team can Promote Your Campaign 🌟
Organic team posts
Personal outreach or posting on your personal social media accounts is one of the most effective ways to reach potential investors. Having your team reach out to individuals who might be interested, posting organically, or resharing company content can all be effective ways to tap into different networks on LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook. Tip: tag your team members in your post for better visibility and a reminder to share!
