Strategic Approach

The campaign focused on solving real homeowner problems rather than highlighting technical specifications. We developed a three-phase launch strategy starting with early bird pricing, followed by feature demonstrations, and concluding with social proof amplification.

Pre-launch preparation included building an email list of 3,200 interested prospects through targeted content marketing. This foundation proved essential for the crucial first 48 hours of the campaign.

Strategic Approach

Community-focused campaigns require different tactics than product launches. We emphasized storytelling, local impact, and personal connections. The strategy centered on mobilizing existing community networks and creating multiple entry points for different supporter segments.

Local media outreach proved essential, with newspaper features and radio interviews generating significant traffic. We also organized offline events that connected directly to online funding goals.
