Insights

  • Campaign length should be kept up to one week if there is no additional promotion. Numbers of NFT mints tend to go down after the first 3 days.

  • NFT rewards with different levels help gain more users:

    • The main reward given to a limited amount of users at the end of the campaign, e.g. company tokens or physical product

    • General availability rewards, e.g. a special Discord role, access to an exclusive product feature, or a financial reward.

  • Airdrop hunters help promote your project since, ultimately, they would like to sell the NFT at a higher price.

  • Even when social media subscription is not a part of the product activation quest, promotional campaigns still drive more user acquisition in different channels.
