Crowdfunding: Artichoke Backpack
CROMO has taken care of the development and managing of the entire crowdfunding campaign. We preferred Indiegogo to its main competitor Kickstarter for its larger reach to the European area.
The studio has developed the landing page artichokebags.com and the Indiegogo page and dealt with graphics and texts. We have also created the social pages of the brand, handling the promotional investments.
VIDEO CAMPAIGN
Two more videos show a short interview to CEO Lorenzo Scotto on the main features of his product and a Making Of, filmed inside the workshop where his backpacks are made, to underline the quality of made-in-Italy fittings.
SOCIAL CAMPAIGN
We contacted several influencers, from Instagram to Youtube, who have helped the product promotion with dedicated swipe-up stories and reviews.
We have also invested in Facebook Ads, focusing on Italy, with a remarkable sales number.
#WINARTICHOKE CONTEST
We have organized a #WinArtichoke contest to boost the crowdfunding. Three people received our prize, the Artichoke M Black Cordura, simply by sharing the image of the contest on their Instagram or Facebook profiles, along with the contest hashtag.
Here are the three winners:
RESULTS
The backpack has been promoted on several travel magazines, such as We Heart, Mangia Vivi Viaggia and Ordinary Traveler. It has been reviewed on Youtube, Instagram and Facebook by a number of influencers and vloggers.
The campaign has reached its target of €20.000 in the first two weeks. After that, the promotion investments have been reduced to permit a longer exposure of the product. The figures at the moment are €35.000.
The campaign ended in May, but the backpacks are still available on the Indiegogo page. In the meantime, we are preparing the second part of the campaign, based on a new model, which will start in spring 2019.
