Yes! If your campaign transitions directly to the platform's post campaign service I.e. Indiegogo to InDemand or Kickstarter to Late Pledges, your existing referral program, including all affiliate and referral links, will automatically continue to the post-campaign phase. This allows you to maintain momentum and keep your affiliates engaged in promoting your project.
Here’s how it works:
Automatic Program Continuation: When your campaign shifts to Indiegogo InDemand or Kickstarter Late Pledges, a new program is created specifically for this post-campaign phase (labeled "Late Pledges" for Kickstarter or "InDemand" for Indiegogo).
Affiliate Transfer: All existing affiliates from your original campaign will be automatically moved to the new post-campaign program. This ensures continuity, allowing affiliates to keep promoting your project and earning commissions.
Separate Tracking: While your post-campaign program will only track new referrals generated during this phase, you can still access and review the original campaign’s stats. To do this, simply navigate to the Programs page and look up your initial campaign, which will be tagged with the platform name (Kickstarter or Indiegogo).
Benefits of Continuation
Sustained Momentum: Transitioning your referral program to your post-campaign phase allows you to keep the promotional energy going without interruption.
Ongoing Affiliate Earnings: Affiliates can continue sharing links and earning rewards, helping you reach a broader audience even after your primary campaign has concluded.
This automatic transition helps you retain engagement and provides a smooth way for affiliates to support your project during the post-campaign phase, enhancing both exposure and earnings.
Kickstarter to Indiegogo InDemand
If you ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and decide to transition to Indiegogo InDemand afterward, you have the option to transition your existing program. Here’s how:
Go to your existing referral program from the Programs page.
Click on the "Transition to InDemand" button.
Follow additional prompts to complete the process
Note: When a successfully funded campaign is going to a different platform during the post campaign phase I.e. Kickstarter going to Indiegogo InDemand, the continuation of the program is not automatic. You will need to follow the steps above to move your program.
