Booster Coupon Key Summary

* Based on the data of the Blackbird exhibition held in May, 26

1. Why Booster Coupons Exclusive Accounts Are Increasing Payment Conversion Rate

If you are a maker who is new to funding and does not have enough advertising expenses, it is a big concern how to inform your supporters even if you make a good product.  Wadiz has set up a place for these makers where they are exposed to the top of the exhibition page without buying separate advertisements. This is the account dedicated to booster coupons. According to an analysis of the Blackbird exhibition data conducted by Wadiz in May 26, the project exposed to this account had a 2.3 times higher conversion rate compared to the average page of the exhibition.

Why is there such a difference?

It's because the supporters who go through this account are not just looking around, they've already seen the benefits and moved. And the well-designed booster coupon is the ticket to enter this place.

2. Effective Discount Rate, Key Criteria for Booster Coupon Design

Many makers first think about the discount amount for "how much to cut". But looking at the data, the key factor that actually made supporters use coupons was the effective discount rate. 

• Effective discount rate = Discount amount ÷ Minimum payment amount x 100
• The most frequently used booster coupon section by supporters is an effective discount rate of 8% or more. If it is designed to meet this standard, the probability that the coupon issued will lead to actual payment increases significantly, and it will be close to the success of the project.

The booster coupon issued in consideration of the conditions of the effective discount rate of 8% or more was 3.5 times higher than the coupon that did not. At this time, the conversion rate refers to the percentage of the total booster coupons issued by the supporter for the actual payment. In other words, it means that the coupons issued are not just issued and not used, but that the issued coupons lead to sales.

✅ Then, how much should I set the booster coupon price?

Tip) If the minimum payment is higher than the customer unit price at this time, it will be an unusable coupon, so please check it again! 

3. How to use booster coupons by funding stage

If you've issued coupons for the high-efficiency section, what's important now is how you operate according to the flow of the project. 
Efficient use of booster coupons at each stage of funding can increase the conversion rate of payments and the probability of successful funding together.

Before the Open (scheduled to open) — With the benefit of collecting notification applications

The payment at the beginning of the opening comes first from the notification applicant. In fact, the sales made by notification applicants account for 56% of the total sales. 
Make a booster coupon as the reason for notification application, such as "If you apply for notification, we will give you a coupon that you can use right after opening." If you combine it with the first-come, first-served and limited quantity, the effect is stronger.

Immediately after opening (first three days) — Open Run Coupons fired in the early stages

72 hours immediately after the opening determines the initial ranking. Advance the payment time with a coupon for "72 hours after opening."
When combined with participating events such as supportive comments, not only payments but also comments and support signature indicators go up, which is advantageous for exposure.

Before closing (7-2 days) — Coupons to push the final decision

This is when supporters who already know the project are thinking about buying it or not. One coupon for the deadline will pull up the delayed payment.  The key is to clearly show the rest of the period like "D-3, 72 hours limited." Well-designed booster coupons boost your transition to payments on their own, while also creating opportunities for exposure to your pre-show booster account. Refer to the guide and design it to fit your current project.
