Why Investor Group Pitches are Effective

Comfort in Numbers

I have found in the past that some of my best success in raising money has come out of doing group pitches.  Meaning, I do a presentation in front of a group (ie: at a party a supporter holds at their house, a wine and cheese reception at a local restaurant, a film "open house" in the community we are shooting, etc.).  Why have we found such success with these gatherings? The short answer- There is comfort in numbers.  Below are 3 reasons this approach is effective.

1- The Window Shopping Effect. The invitation to hear about your film in a group setting provides a kind of "window shopping" experience.  Many feel more comfortable that they can learn about the film and browse before getting into a deeper conversation or commitment.

2- The FOMO Effect. Everyone else is doing it and if I don't join too, I will be missing out. It is the group herd mentality that is in your favor here.

3- Excitement is Electric. Excitement is contagious and creates a momentum that cannot be recreated in a one on one.  It is like the difference between hearing a new song on the radio versus at a live concert where you are surrounded by thousands of fans enjoying the same song.
