Reservation Funnel on BackerKit Crowdfunding

In crowdfunding, we know that the bigger the launch, the bigger the campaign. 

So what if you had a new way to maximize your pre-launch audience and excitement while activating and rewarding your most eager fans?

The new BackerKit Pre-Launch Reservation allows creators to offer backers the ability to reserve exclusive pledge terms or rewards prior to a campaign’s launch by making a small deposit on the BackerKit Launch Party page. 

Your backers get early access to special offers while creators, like you, get to:

• Grow and activate your audience in pre-launch phase
• Boost audience intent and their likelihood to pledge
• Identify your most engaged fans
• More accurately set strategic funding goals ahead of launch
• Keep track of conversions from pre-launch to launch all on one platform

BackerKit Pre-Launch Reservation is fully integrated into BackerKit Crowdfunding and is only available for all BackerKit Crowdfunding campaigns at no additional cost.

Pre-Launch Reservation is currently available in beta, and creators who have tried it are seeing compelling results: World’s Largest RPG found that followers who made pre-launch reservations were over 12x more likely to pledge than those who did not reserve.

How it works

• In pre-launch, you offer the reservation reward on your Launch Party page (e.g. FREE dice with your $1 deposit)
• Fans place a small deposit (e.g. $1–$5) to reserve their spot and their perk
• At launch, fans return and pledge with their reward automatically added to their cart for easy checkout

BackerKit Pre-Launch Reservation is a powerful expansion of our existing pre-launch features, like BackerKit Launch Party, which help turn your fans into campaign followers, and those followers into backers.

By adding a Pre-Launch Reservation to your Launch Party page, you give your fans a chance to extend their support one step further and signal a stronger commitment to pledge once your campaign goes live. 

Since Pre-Launch Reservations are powered end-to-end on BackerKit, the experience is seamless. Your backers can follow, reserve, and pledge to your campaign all in place – and you can track pre-launch activity to post-launch conversions all on the BackerKit Crowdfunding platform. 

Setup Steps

• Launch Party must be enabled to use the Reservation Funnel
• After our Creator Success team has enabled the feature, you'll need to setup the Reservation Funnel Incentive.
• Create the Incentive Item first from your Items Page.

• Navigate to your Incentives page and create the Pre-Launch Reservation incentive.
