Brad, creator of the wildly successful Bottle Grenade project which ended with 1,702% of its $2,500 goal on January 31st, 2013, launched a second project called the Wrench That Fits (WTF) just 29 days later, on March 1st, 2013. Leveraging his first project’s 1,182 backers, his new project raised more than three times his goal on its first day live.
In addition to capitalizing on his relationships with previous backers, Brad was able to leverage relationships with the press that had been formed during his first project’s campaign.
In Brad’s case, this strategy has lead him to double the pledge total from his first project ($42,560) to his second ($85,564).
As demonstrated by the two Serial Crowdfunding cases, successful projects can be leveraged to give subsequent projects from the same creator major boosts in both support from backers and media coverage. (Even projects that do not complete their goals can leverage what success they do have for future projects.)
