Topic: Why do ICO's make Airdrops? (Read 492 times)
i never figure out why almost every ICO always make airdrop program but maybe they do that because they want their project is more popular and sucessfully and to attract more people will being an investors so they might be consider airdrops is good way to increase the popularity of their project
I see this to be an act of information dissemination. This will give the project more audience. Part of the strategy is that, what they airdrop will not be that much, except for some few projects that give big airdrop, like the one i am wearing her signature and this will drive those who got the airdrop, which might not be enough to get more by the time the project is listed on exchange. This will also help to increase the volume being traded.
I think that this is done to attract people - investors, to show that many people are participating in the project, are interested in it. That the project itself is already known in the broad masses. Just a promotion, I think.
Who got airdrop will tell friends about it - advertisement and popularity grows up for this coin, more demand on Exchanges
ICO's do airdrops as a way of advertising first their own befote entering other stages. They need to spread awareness to others that their ICO is existing. They need to gather more followers or people to support their projects. Because of airdrops ICO's earned much more strength in building their project.
Most of Icos make airdrops to catch the attention of investors. At first they offer airdrops free tokens to the users for them to invest in this kind of project. If you want to invest in ico's make sure to check first if their project is best that their team can handle the project well.
To the best of my knowledge, I think what most Icos gain from airdrop is huge awareness and publicity for their tokens. And that is why they allow a lot of participation. Some usually have up to 20000 airdrop participants and at the end of the day little or nothing will be gotten from it.
it seems that it is very good advertizing method to make, besides, to make it too it isn't so difficult, and it gives big advantage to successful ico in their problem of the transaction of sale of altcoin.
They give little coin or token to people and everybody gets their friends or followers, for example they share at twitter and a lot of person participate who see this, this is good and cheap way for advertisement.
Airdrops help attract more people. And the more people, the more likely that among them there will be investors. And in general, around ICO, there is a stir. But some airdoors are aimed at attracting light subscribers, in order to further distribute a completely different product. There is also a lot of money fraud. So it is better to keep your investment.
I signed up for an ICO the other day and saw that they were giving away quite a lot of tokens for just signing up with Twitter and Telegram. How do they benefit from this? Do they just want more followers or do they want to get rid of tokens? Or is it maybe just a scam?
Airdrops are good for ICOs because with airdrops their community gets bigger. Some people who gets an airdrop also become their investors, so airdrops are good to accumulate more investors which may also lead to a successful ICO.
The fact that most of the ICO project is a Scam. They began to use a successful marketing move invented by developers of anonymous cryptocurrency DeepOnion. The difference is that cryptocurrencies have utilitarian value, while tokens are fucking wrappers. For the most part. There are worthy projects. But very few of them.
Airdrop uses the company to attract attention during the ICO and to encourage investment in their cryptotenes. Also free distribution of tokens often takes place at start of new crypto currency, in particular, when that is the result of fork.
It's not free airdrop 
). To join these airdrop you often have to follow some steps like follow twitter or retweet some tweets. It's also a good way to promote their project while they don't want to pay to much for this promoting like bounty campaign ). Maybe there are a lot of unsold token after ICO ended so they create an airdrop for token holder like INS ICO project and a lot of other projects did.

i think the purposes of using airdrops are just to popularize the ICO to public, from that the number of investors will increase and make the community stronger to promote the ICO to drawn more funds into the project, moreover, giving free Airdrops like giving free money, the ICO can encourage people to use their token to trade or use in real life.

its not a scam, they want to grow their community, their surrounding, and the group of people who holds their coin, they do airdrops to get supporters. and when they do that, there are some possibilities that the price of their coin might grow.
ICOs do make airdrops because some of the projects are giving away tasks that a hunter needs to do for them to grab the airdrop. In this case, the airdrop hunter spreads the name of the ICO by doing the tasks (by posting or giving credits on their telegrams and other social media platforms) for them to grab both mutual benefits.
Airdrops are usually present in ICOs because it plays a big factor of collecting people as followers and build a community to spread the word for them. It is a good head start before starting a bounty campaign.
In my opinion ico do airdrop becose they want to advertising they project all peoples like free things money,tokens,items,food :DThats the point why they doing airdrops,more peoples know the best things going for project creators..
their goal is to make airdrop because they want more people who know about their project and so many investors who want to invest in their project. promoting projects on social media is a good action because it is fast spread out more widely.
