What are some ICOs with super smart and successful presales?

If you go to altcoin announcements you can find some ICO's that offer presales!

presale is a pre-ico promotion step with more promotional bonus offers, this is effective if the project has a larger strategy and budget to convince its investors and partners if successful presale will result in high confidence from investors to engage in ico, but will be the opposite if pre- ico failed.

This is a nice and more transparent step in the promotion strategy.

presale is just testing for the ICO. if presale fails I think ICO will also fail but Im not saying if presale fails ICO will fail also. presale is just like building confidence on the investors.
i agree with you if presale succesed ico have been success.!
i think if invest in presale you get more coin. and cheaper for the price

I am part of a big project that is going to have an ICO and we decided to have a presale for several reasons. It is an opportunity for early supporters to get a good bonus and it is also very important for the project, to promote the main ICO. Once we have successfully executed an effective and secure presale process, investors can become more confident about the project and about the competence of the team. Besides, we will release a working demo of the platform between the presale and the main ICO. People that already know the team and that have been following the project since the beginning already have the confidence to contribute during the presale, before the release of the product, and for that, they should be rewarded with a bonus/better price. Afterwards, it will be easier for the general public to hear about the Auctus project and participate on the ICO with a lower risk, but no bonus.

Powerledger had a very good presale, but I feel like their ICO is struggling now. That means the coins are very cheap now, because they distribute 140mio no matter how much money they raise. You can find more info here

This explains to us how misleading results of pre-ICOs could get. More often than not, we are happily joining the ICOs of projects with a sold out pre-ICO. For many of us, this means the ICO could also be similarly easy sold out, like a replay of the pre-ICO. What we miss is the possibility that all the interested investors are already buying during the pre-ICO and no more investors left in the ICO. It is possible. But there are still so many other factors to consider.

Seemingly forgotten in this discussion: presales can also serve the purpose of providing enough funding to develop a Minimum Viable Product - MVP. If they can get that far, prove the concept can work in a practical demonstration, then they can justify raising more money in a formal ICO and get an actual product to market.

What's special about pre-sale is that the developers often give big discount on the tokens sold during pre-sale. And big investors would love to be the first in line when buying certain coins or tokens. That's what's special about pre-sale and pre-icos.

ya indeed pre-sale offer you a great discount. and pre -sale would determine wether the ico is good or bad. but sometimes pre sale means nothing.

Presale, ICO, whitelist , its all marketing tactics to bring more investors and attract people
its just how it works...
and sometimes even the projects that look "the most promising" fall under the ICO price
even after whitelist and presale and even after selling all tokens in 7 minutes of ICO

Hey folks,

i am wondering what are the differences between presale we see that often and an ICO. why do companies run a presale mostly with higher benefits compared to the following ICO? do investors have to stick to some kind of conditions afterwards? (hold at least for x month?) i dont assume that because ppl sometimes gather, group up to collect the minimum needed in a certain presale and participate. so what is so special about presale?

Pre-sale involves more risk but is also the most rewarding when something does work out. Some pre-sales have minimum contributions.
Pre-Sale is also for hype and other things. Some people don't participate in pre-sale cause they aren't sure about a project and would like to see how that goes.
Some are then also still not sure during ICO and wait for the coin to be listed on exchanges, less risk. Some Presales and ICo's only deliver a concept and ask for faith in them.
which equals to more risk.

For me they're the same.. But reading some replies here make me somewhat confuse. For me.."Pre"sale is like selling a product before the opening, right? And ICO or "Initial Coin Offering" from the word itself is selling a percentage of cryptocurrency before it's launching. Both is like a crowdsale. And based on an article that I have read, if an ICO doesn't meet the minimum funds required by the firm, it is deemed to be unsuccessful, and the funds should be returned to its backers. Unless it's a scam or what. I don't know if same applies with a presale if it's different from ICO. And if there is a presale before an ICO. It sounds like a presale before a presale. Please enlighten me. I'm still new here.

wild idea: read what has previously been posted in the thread to see if your questions have already been answered

Presale is better than ICO if you spot a fair project, because no matter the dumping on exchange, the chances of your buy price being hit is tiny

Pre sale is actually the phase of coin selling before the ICO has even begun. The bonuses are high during presale than they are during ICO but the risks are really high. Risk of investing in pre sale are higher than that of ICO. You should only invest during pre ico is the project seems 100 percent legit to you.

Investing in ICO is much better because the pre-sale is already done. That way, you can somehow gauge the project and the legitimacy of it using the pre-sale data you got. If they got it 100% and fast, then the ICO must be a good one as well and probably the project in general.

Pre-sale is somewhat a market strategy to create an atmosphere of FOMO in the ICO so that when the ICO arrives people will rush-in and quickly filling up the hard cap of the ICO.

YES, this is a big part of pre sale I think.

Here's the thing, how do we know if the sales in the pre sales actually took place, can someone please enlighten? Is it recorded in the blockchain for the transaction, from the investor's ETH(or any crypto) address to the ICO campaign address?

The presale is a way to generate buzz ahead of time or open a sale to only whales/prearranged participants before the general public can participate.

I don't like the idea of providing presale discounts, etc. For a decentralized token sale, the sale itself shouldn't be rigged in this manner. Hence the reason we decided not to do a presale campaign for BannerCoin (BCOIN) - BannerCoin.com


best teruns gives tokens that end in presale ater those hits exchange it bring a lot buzz and nice pump.
Worst thing for investros are over payed ICOs that will probably deliver shit.
