Airdrops and bounties are only very small percentage of project's tokens and I think that even they know that Airdrops only help to be known, nothing more, they don't bring new investors, but they email you and that an advetisement for the founders. I think that advertisement is the reason, why they still create airdrops.
It's just their way now to earn telegram followers, airdrops somehow where unnoticeable unless they gained followers, it can help to say that their project seems impressive. 
Topic: Do Airdrops attract investors? (Read 474 times)
I read thread on how to choose an Altcoin and noticed that nobody who is looking into investing has even mentioned an airdrop.
So why do so many ICOs give away their tokens if no real investors really are checking the free token giveaways?
it depends. For someone who is interested in fast and short term, it is attractive. I am long term investment lover and I don’t like airdrop at all. So why do so many ICOs give away their tokens if no real investors really are checking the free token giveaways?
Nah. Airdrops attract bounty hunters and people who just want free tokens. I don't think real investors would consider investing depending on an ico's free token.
Airdrop is one from many marketing strategy to spread the word about the project.It does, it helps to build a community from which investor will eventually emerge.On this way hopes the project teams to bring the project to a bigger public and after that to reach their hard cap.
They do the airdrop to attrack investor, if the investors have seen there project then if they saw that it has a potential then they will continue to attract the investors and the investors will tell it to others so that they will also invest. More investors will make there project popular and it will have the potential to raise their investment.

Most people find out about new and promising projects thanks to AirDrop and bounty companies. Holding an AirDrop share, the company attracts attention.
yes, airdrop is one from many marketing strategy to spread the word about the project
mostly people who received the airdrop will talk about the project in their social media or tell their friend about the project
and this is what the team want
I dont think so, airdops usually done when the ICO ends so it will not help the project anymore and it will never attract a huge market since the coin will be spread freely in the public. and I think it is better to do social media campaign rather than make noise due to airdrop.
As it seems to me it is not interesting for investors because these are the tokens that they will not have, but they will not be against this if they are given for some useful actions in which all participants will be interested.
I don't think airdrops are meant for investors but in a way it affects the success of a project, its purely for marketing purposes I think. The more noise a project will make the more it would likely to succeed, that's why they airdrop some of the tokens in replace of likes and shares from their project's social media pages. Some of the project's I know didn't airdrop their token but still have been successful, namely menlo and OPP.
many investors are just too lazy to collect AIRDROP, although these are very simple tasks and often provide a very good part of the tokens for them
The actual effect of airdrops goes beyond Twitter's mission and Facebook's mission! why? Because people who can find airdrops and complete airdrop requirements have a certain understanding of cryptocurrencies and are willing to do the job, these people are more likely to become investors!
I dont think airdrops attract or affect any investor, for example I'm ico investor also and I dont look what people say about project at social media or at steemit, generally they are doing this things for airdrop. And if project gives much airdrop/bounty , I dont like them also.
Actually, this is a funny thing because the profit from airdrop is very low, much lower than trade so investors will not care about airdrop, only those who do not have money to invest, they will be interested in bounty and airdrop. Profits from investing in ICOs can be x10, x20 if they participate in potential ICOs.

Project owners developing this kind of way to help spread news for everybody about their ICO project and it could be possible that some investors will start to study and do research about their project. With that, they can have a reserved investors to be a part of them even it is still hang and not yet launch.

The airdrop is for investors to trust the community with many participants, but if we can clearly see the community if the scam would no one comment.
Airdrops are a way of attracting the community., it is like one person received the tokens and then that person telling the others., and it could gather a large number of crypto enthusiast into a certain project., it is like giving them small portions of tokens that could attract the others. Same with other companies in reality, they are giving free taste., a product free taste could be an effective tool to gather customer feedbacks to the certain product.
Peoples are always expecting the free money so airdrops are intiate the project. But they give below one dollar in after ICO is completed so many peoples are not satisfied in airdrops participation and some projects are totally scam also so better participate in bounty we will get good earning. But still lot of peoples are participating in airdrops so we only realise the market because no one is give the free money.
Ye ofcourse ! Airdrops are not only a marketing strategy but an informative medium as well where any investor who wants to inquire anything about the ICO can do that. You are given free joining bonus as well when you join an airdrop. The strength of any airdrop campaign always attracts investors. It makes them beleive that a whole lot of people are interested in the project and are ready to invest.

It is because they believe their project so much, for example "HYDROGEN". They give most of their tokens 222,222 for 1 sats, and now look at it.
