Would you like to see your tree stock sell out faster? Improving your sales velocity helps you generate impact sooner and build lasting connections with sponsors. Here are some proven ways to increase your visibility and engagement:

📅 Post updates regularly

Aim to share at least one update per week. Frequent updates show that your project is active and progressing, encouraging sponsor confidence and return visits.

🌳 Plant trees with personalized messages

Plant a tree via the tree feed using one of the trees from your project. Each week, try to plant at least one tree with a custom message—this helps bring your project to life and keeps it visible on the platform.
You can reuse content from your updates on the project page, or write a short message about a recent activity or milestone. Add a meaningful sentence that highlights your work, and consider including a call to action like: “Enjoying our work? Don’t forget to replant this tree!”
These messages not only increase your project’s visibility, they also make it easy for others to support your efforts. Plus, they give you great content to share on social media or in newsletters.

📸 Share high-quality photos

Visuals are powerful. Upload, if possible, high-resolution pictures from your planting site. Ideally, include:

  • Before and after photos of the reforestation area

  • Drone footage of the landscape

  • Field images of your team and the young or mature trees

This helps sponsors connect emotionally with your project and improves trust.

💬 Engage with sponsor comments

Reply to comments and planted trees from sponsors on your project site. Even a short thank you or update shows appreciation and builds community around your project.

⭐ Invite reviews

Encourage contacts, partners, or previous sponsors to leave a review on your project page. Positive reviews increase credibility and visibility across the platform. Go to your project page, click on the 'Reviews' tab, and copy the URL to share this with sponsors. 

📈 Improve your VQS (Verified Quality Score)

A higher VQS leads to better exposure. Ensure your content is consistent, transparent, and detailed. Check your partner dashboard for your current score and recommendations to improve it.
