Blockchain/crypto/NFT startups need to take a different route to marketing. While most aspects of traditional marketing apply to this domain, there are still huge differences that I don’t see them addressing.
For example, using a bunch of advertising options to drive awareness does not always work. Also, the messaging of most marketing campaigns is too “salesy”. The Crypto Audience is quite unique in that they can (in most cases) sense the BS quickly.
From the humble start with ICOs in 2017 to the growth of DeFi and NFTs in the 2019s & the 2020s, the crypto world has grown exponentially. I believe that IDOs could attract massive investment going forward (of course, once the market condition improves). IDOs as a fundraising method, appeal to both projects and retail investors. Unlike ICOs, IDOs make it easy for anyone from anywhere in the world to participate in public sales. Modern-day IDO launchpads offer tools and support for the projects right from the start.
