wadiz Beauty Campaign Utilization Manual
📝Here’s a 3-line summary!
- In the Beauty category, where over 1,000 projects launch annually, participating in a featured campaign that secures early exposure and engagement is a highly effective strategy.
- While the campaign itself provides exposure opportunities, taking a few additional steps can lead to even greater project results.
- We’ve put together a “3-Step Roadmap for Leveraging Special Campaigns” that makers can use right away to turn initial awareness into tangible results.
How many projects launch each day?
As of 2025, an average of about 1,500 projects were launched on wadiz every month. Even in the month with the fewest launches, over 1,000 projects were launched. Given this, it won’t be easy for your project to stand out to supporters among so many others.
That’s why the most important structure for successful funding— securing early traction → accumulating reviews → conversion—the most crucial framework for successful funding. One of the easiest ways to get into this cycle is by utilizing special campaigns.
Especially in the beauty category—wadiz’s flagship category, with over 1,000 projects annually and a number of new launches increasing significantly each year—you can see significant benefits from utilizing curated campaigns.
A “3-Step Roadmap for Utilizing Curated Campaigns” Where Early Awareness Leads to Results
1) Raise Awareness of Your Brand and Project
In this stage, actions that help spread the word about your project’s launch—such as signing up for notifications or submitting a Pledge of support—are crucial. Participating in a curated campaign gives you a slight edge here, as wadiz provides marketing support for featured projects through prominent main banners on the wadiz website and app, as well as push notifications. However, by adding a few extra actions, you can maximize the benefits of the curated campaign by 200%.
Namely applying for a launchand the “Pledge of support” event. The advantage of these events is that your project can be included in the “Real-Time Best” and “Trends” sectionson the wadiz homepage, ensuring it appears at the top of the page. With dozens of projects launching every day, this is a great way to secure high visibility. Furthermore, if many people participate in your project, it will appear in the “Real-Time Rankings,” allowing it to attract even more attention.
Depending on the number of pledges of support, your project will be featured in the “Trends” section on the main page.

2) Increasing the conversion rate of early supporters to actual funding participants
Among the projects participating in this <HAPPY New BEAUTY> special event, those that meet the selection criteria will be awarded— for the first time in a category-based special event— “wadiz Official Emblem’—a first for a category-based campaign.

This emblem is a digital asset through which wadiz officially certifies achievements in a specific category, and you can freely use it not only on your project detail page but also on external channels such as your own social media and advertising materials. Here’s how to effectively utilize this emblem:
[Tip] 4 Ways to Use the Emblem Effectively1) Place it at the top of the project detail page: Place the emblem in the main image area—the first thing supporters see—or at the very top of the detail page. Simply signaling early on that “this project has been recognized by wadiz even before funding begins” helps reduce the bounce rate. 2) Actively use it in social media ad creatives: Display the emblem alongside product images in ad creatives such as Instagram feeds/Reels and Naver GFA. In particular, using it alongside the phrase “Selected for the wadiz Beauty Special Exhibition” can give the impression that a product from an unfamiliar brand is “verified.” 3) Use it on your own online store and e-commerce platform product pages: You can also use the emblem after the funding campaign ends when listing products on your own online store, SmartStore, or Coupang. Displaying the emblem alongside achievements such as “Selected for the wadiz OO Campaign” or “Achieved OOO% of wadiz Funding Goal” helps you quickly build trust, even as a new brand. 4) Use as a packaging design element: Adding the “wadiz Certified” mark to boxes or product labels is also a great idea. This is especially effective for beauty products, which are often purchased as gifts, as it helps emphasize a premium feel through the packaging. |
3) Secure “A-Grade Reviews” That Drive Sales
Reviews have an absolute influence on beauty product purchases. Checking star ratings and reviews on Hwahae, scrolling through photo reviews on Olive Young, and searching for #honestreviews on Instagram have become standard parts of the purchasing process. The same is true on wadiz. As reviews from testers accumulate in the project’s “Community” tab, , which helps instill confidence in supporters who are considering participating in the project.
In other words, this offers the advantage of driving conversions toward project participation (purchases). As a side note, if you participate in the <HAPPY New BEAUTY> campaign and run a product tester program before the project launches, you’ll receive the benefit of additional exposure in the quick menu at the top of the wadiz homepage.

The trial program offered through this campaign is the most efficient way to quickly secure these early reviews.
[Tip]3 Steps to EffectivelyRun a Product Testing ProgramStep 1: Provide a Review Writing Guide Don’t just send the product to testers—provide a simple review guide as well. For example, for skincare products, outline key points such as “texture, spreadability, absorption speed, scent, and changes in skin condition.” By asking them to write freely while mentioning these key elements, you’ll accumulate reviews that are genuinely helpful to future supporters. Step 2: Actively Encourage Photo and Video Reviews Reviews that include photos or videos showing actual product use drive conversion rates more than twice as high as text-only reviews. Ask participants to provide visual materials such as “before-and-after photos,” “photos showing the texture,” and “videos of them actually applying the product.” Offering small gifts or additional perks can boost participation rates. Step 3: Repurpose Reviews on External Channels Test group reviews are too valuable an asset to be used only within wadiz. With participants’ consent, curate them into a “collection of real reviews” for Instagram Stories, feeds, blogs, and other platforms. Especially on Instagram, grouping reviews from multiple users into a carousel can promote your product with far greater credibility than ads. |
