We discuss:

– [10:36] Understanding the audience: After getting visitors to the landing page, using this information to re target the facebook ads and get new leads.
– [15:11] Having small giveaways of the game cards at conventions as an incentive to start conversations and collect emails.
– [20:35] Creating sales flyers for customers inviting them to check other products on the series when they buy one.

– [24:06] Using facebook groups to share the launch day.
– [25:55] Having a giveaway and a monthly facebook challenge helped in the live campaign as an organic promoter, since people were sharing the kickstarter site with their own networks.
