Good luck with your campaign! If you don't mind I have a few questions if you happen to know the answers:

1. Did those 80% of people see it through a "featured campaigns" thing or was it totally organic? 2. How did the remaining 20% find your campaign? 3. Can we see the campaign page? :)




Thanks. The campaign ended a while ago but here are the answers:

1. We weren't featured by KS but it was on the "popular projects" page throughout the life of the campaign. It initially got there by a combination of backers finding it through "Recently launched projects" + backers who signed up on our website to be notified of the launch (the former being the majority). By the end of Day 1, it was #1 in its category and stayed there for a while. Here is a link that shows the trend of the project funding if you're interested: http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/yathletics/silverair-odorle...

2. Remaining 20% found it through our own marketing efforts + other websites/blogs writing about the project

3. Sure thing - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yathletics/silverair-od...


Ah, cool. Good advice, and congratulations on smashing your target :D
