Abstract

This study quantitatively identifies desirable words linked to successful purchase-based crowdfunding for regional revitalization. Using 8,544 projects from five Japanese platforms — CAMPFIRE, Booster, ReadyFor, Makuake, and kibidango — we analyzed frequently used words and compared them with non-regional projects to explore differences in success factors. The findings offer insights for developing practical fundraising guidelines.
