Being one of the most dynamic industries, blockchain projects have always required well-thought-out strategies for their promotion.
Below, we, the cryptocurrency marketing agency Coinband, suggest considering nine of the most effective marketing practices that will provide your project with a strong competitive advantage in 2025.
9 Tips on Blockchain Marketing
Effective marketing of blockchain projects requires a flexible approach that takes into account the specific features of the crypto market. Below, we presented nine practices with a detailed description, some of which are new, and some have been used for a long time. However, they all have one thing in common – they still work and will be relevant in 2025.
#1. Create a clear and compelling whitepaper
A whitepaper is a technical description of your project, which also demonstrates its benefits to end users. Since the consumers of this document will be its future investors and users themselves (and possibly developers), you will need to adapt its content for all these groups of people. Also, do not forget to explain the problem that the project solves, provide evidence of its relevance, and describe in detail the economic model of its tokens. Usually, such documents are also enriched with diagrams, infographics, and examples of blockchain use. Ultimately, your whitepaper should convince its readers of the reliability of your project.
#2. Developing a project roadmap
A project roadmap is a detailed description of its implementation, from the development of the technical part of the MVP and the launch of ICO/IDO/IEO to the mainnet launch and its subsequent updates. Note that for each stage, you must designate the time frame during which it will be implemented and update the roadmap itself to demonstrate progress. In general, the implementation of such a transparent action plan is aimed at increasing the trust and loyalty of your target audience.
#3. Interacting with the audience and building a community
To start building a strong and loyal crypto community around your project, you will first need to choose communication channels (e.g. Telegram, Discord, and Reddit). Here, you will be able to increase the engagement of your subscribers through AMA sessions, voting, and giveaways (distribution of bounties and airdrop launch). Generally speaking, your main task is to encourage active participants, for example, through rewards and providing early access to new features of your blockchain project.
#4. Partnerships with other blockchain projects
Choose partners whose projects can complement your ecosystem with their functionality and make it more widely used in real life. Once you establish communication and start integrating (if necessary), you can organize marketing campaigns together (for example, webinars and offline events) to “exchange” target audiences with each other and unlock the potential of your project by increasing its value.
#5. Organizing bounty campaigns and airdrops
Even though this is an old trick, it still remains one of the most effective. In particular, to launch such campaigns, you will first need to understand what their goal is (usually it is boosting audience engagement, increasing the number of subscribers, or testing the functionality of your blockchain solution) and define the tasks that participants will have to complete in exchange for a possible reward – this can be retweets, bug reports, or something else. Finally, you will need to define a transparent mechanism for distributing rewards so that campaign participants are confident in your project’s honesty.
#6. Investing in PR and media promotion
This practice involves preparing and publishing press releases describing the main advantages of your project. To do this, you will need to communicate with leading crypto platforms like Cointelegraph, Forbes, The New York Times, and so on. You can also prepare small guest articles for publication in crypto blogs and plan to participate in podcasts on relevant topics (these two are more affordable options compared to cooperation with crypto media). Thanks to this, you will increase the reputation of the project and ensure its visibility in the crypto space.
#7. Listing on crypto exchanges
To implement this practice, you will need to prepare all the necessary documents in advance (with a description of the tokenomics and your team) – all this is necessary to pass a strict audit on crypto exchanges. Next, you need to decide on a list of exchanges focused on your audience (usually these are Binance, KuCoin, PancakeSwap, and a number of others). After that, you will need to develop a powerful marketing campaign to inform your audience about upcoming listings. All these actions will help you increase the liquidity of your crypto coins and increase trust in the project.
# 8. Cooperation with influencers and opinion leaders
You will need to make a list of crypto bloggers with a relevant audience on platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok. After that, you have to agree with them on publishing advertising materials aimed at promoting your project. In the first days after launching the campaigns, try to carefully analyze the results of such collaborations (coverage, clicks, and engagement) – this will help you promptly adjust your strategy and quickly attract attention to the project with the help of opinion leaders.
#9. Create educational content and organize webinars
Create a series of articles or videos about how your project works, and organize free webinars with the participation of your project team. Once everything is ready, you can share links to them through your project’s social networks, as well as on Medium. This will help you build trust and teach your audience the basics of interacting with your blockchain platform.
A Few Words More
When implemented together, all these practices will help you create a comprehensive marketing strategy that will steadily increase the trust and loyalty of your audience and, of course, attract new investors.
