It\u2019s a question we\u2019re often asked. While you may be looking for a simple day, time, and month when you\u2019re likely to get more backers, the answer isn\u2019t as simple as you might expect \u2014 and it certainly isn\u2019t universal to all creators.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Launching by the numbers<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time to launch a Kickstarter campaign, according to recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.launchboom.com\/when-should-you-launch-your-indiegogo-or-kickstarter-campaign-ee492cefa6df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kickstarter stats and trends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that look at when the most backers are on crowdfunding platforms and which days have the most successful projects, is Tuesday between 8 AM and 1 PM EST. (There is some variance on the best month with some sources saying that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/the-crowdfunding-bible\/when-is-the-best-time-to-launch-a-crowdfunding-project-4e021157ceb2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">August<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is ideal and others saying that May is better.) But why is this the best time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you read expert research on how many successful launches happen on Tuesday, you\u2019re likely to launch on a Tuesday. And, if the most successful people are launching on Tuesday, then the data will show that Tuesday is the best day to launch. But does that mean that launching on Tuesday gives your project a better shot at reaching its funding goal?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Jamey Stegmaier recently wrote, there may be some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stonemaiergames.com\/the-profound-impact-of-launch-day-timing-on-kickstarter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bias in these numbers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The data that\u2019s often shared around this topic is giving an accurate yet imperfect picture of the best time of day to launch a Kickstarter campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of merely asking, \u201cwhat is the best time to launch?\u201d, you should also be asking these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6 questions that will help you pick the best time to launch a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. What is your target audience telling you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best time to launch a Kickstarter or Indiegogo campaign is when your audience is active and ready to engage with your content. It seems vague, I know, but you actually have more insight into this than you think.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-19825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-analytics-1024x625.jpg\" alt=\"best time to launch a kickstarter\" width=\"1024\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-analytics-1024x625.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-analytics-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-analytics-768x469.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-analytics-1536x937.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-analytics-2048x1249.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look at your website or landing page metrics in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/analytics.google.com\/analytics\/web\/provision\/#\/provision\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. When are people visiting your site? Look at your email analytics. When you send out newsletters or other messages promoting your project, when do people open them? Have you used <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/launch?utm_source=marketing&amp;utm_medium=best_time_launch_012521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BackerKit Launch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a previous campaign?

But perhaps your data is telling you a more precise time and day. Or maybe it suggests that your niche is more active in the evenings. The point is that you have data at your disposal that can give you a better picture of who your audience is and when they\u2019re active.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. What is your project category?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the category you\u2019re working in and what that community of backers is used to. Tabletop creators, for instance, often launch on Tuesday. (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/12\/22\/22195749\/kickstarter-top-10-highest-funded-campaigns-2020-video-games-board-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two of the category&#8217;s most-funded projects in 2020<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/frosthaven\/frosthaven\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frosthaven<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/wyrmwood\/modular-gaming-table?ref=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wyrmwood Modular Gaming Table<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 launched on Tuesday.) Backers in this community have come to expect Tuesday launches. That expectation could benefit you because there may be a more receptive and larger audience on the platform that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19826\" style=\"width: 704px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19826\" class=\"wp-image-19826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/best-time-to-launch-kickstarter-frosthaven-1024x686.png\" alt=\"best time to launch a kickstarter\" width=\"694\" height=\"517\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19826\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tabletop projects, like Frosthaven, often launch on Tuesdays.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But it could also be detrimental to a new creator \u2014 your project could be buried by bigger launches. In this case, it might be better to launch on a Wednesday or Thursday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend some time looking at other successful projects in your category that are targeting a similar funding goal. When did they launch? Also, follow or sign up for the newsletters and updates of a few of the more prolific and larger creators in your category to find out when they are launching as you may want to avoid that date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Have you built your email list?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowdfunding algorithms heavily favor projects that are performing well within their first 48 hours. If you don\u2019t have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backerkit.com\/blog\/kickstarter-email?utm_source=marketing&amp;utm_medium=best_time_launch_012521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strong email list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of supporters who are ready to pledge on day one of your campaign, it won\u2019t matter if you launch on Tuesday at noon EST (or any other optimal time that data suggests).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t sidestep the community-building aspect of crowdfunding by launching on a popular day. And anyway, why would you want to do that? You have the power to set yourself up for success. A strong community will help you hit your goal regardless of when you launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowdfunding experts say that you can usually <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/entrepreneur.indiegogo.com\/education\/guide\/email-strategy-crowfunding-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">count on around 5% of people<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your email list to convert and become backers, so if you have 100 people on your list (which may seem like a lot), only five people will presumably back your project. With <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundera.com\/resources\/crowdfunding-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">300 being the average number of backers for successful campaigns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you\u2019re going to need to do some more work. But if you had a 2000-person list, then 100 people could back your project. Depending on your funding goal and the average pledge amount, this email list might bring you closer to your goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than hoping that people will be on Kickstarter and Indiegogo when you launch, why not make sure they\u2019re there? Building an email list is how you do this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Is your project best suited for a particular time of year?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What type of project are you launching? Is it something best suited for the summer?

These are times when people are relaxing or celebrating, and probably aren\u2019t thinking about crowdfunding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also avoid other traditionally busy days like Election Day \u2014 which isn\u2019t a national holiday, but is a day when people are preoccupied and less likely to focus on your launch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That isn\u2019t to say that your project won\u2019t be funded if you launch on these days \u2014 as mentioned earlier, if you have a dedicated following and a strong email list of people ready to support you, you can be successful. But avoiding these days will allow you to maximize your campaign\u2019s potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a06.
