Hi
About the Tipping, do we have a strategy? Or is it inspired by the moment?
I'd prefer a clear cut strategy, with a target/deliverables. An example would be to identify people in whichever industry, my pet is Hospitality, so I would select 10 or 20 medium to small players in this industry and tip them a sizeable amount, say 1Mil TiPS, accompanied with an introduction letter outlining how TiPS would add value to their customer service and retention. Meanwhile, I'd negotiate with a few of them to tie down an offer/reward for redeeming TiPS at their establishment. If done right, the offer's/rewards from one service provider can be set up to trade against/with the rewards from another service provider. The end game would be to set out TiPS as the medium of exchange for Tips, Offers, Discounts etc within the Hospitality Industry.
What do you think? Do we have real good copy writers among us?
Edit: I have set aside 50M TiPS (EYQdzmdY22BZpM4tWjqptN8EgvrpZMyoUn) to start this off. 5M TiPS to the best cover letter to go to major Players in the Hospitalism/Tourism Industry that explains the use cases for the 1M TiPS that will be sent to them. The community will decide on the best. A time limit should be imposed so as to move this project forward at a steady clip. The remaining 45M TiPS will be sent out to 45 Firms in the hospitality industry as an introduction to TiPS.
this is a great idea and I like how you put it into a workable project. I suggest we create a small team to work out the details and create it. We might be also able to merge it with the idea of helping small merchants start accepting TiPS for their tipping jar and expanding to start accepting it as a payment method since we can also replace their coupons systems with this (eg. small imbiss, hairdressers, pharmacies etc). the idea was expanded upon by orinoco and I think he might be interested in participating. project is described here:
1. Use of TiPS by Merchants - Project Proposition I added your idea to the projects files :
Coupons - Hospitality IndustryI propose we create a team of the members interested in this project who can devote a little of their time to it, with a new
trello project so we can distribute tasks and get those things done. If anybody is interested please comment and I'll add you to the project, I would also like to participate. sounds good?
Hi icanprogram and MystPhysX, would it be possible to create an app where TiPS users can trade discounts/offers for TiPS in a dedicated market?
Should be possible, but logistics is not my area of expertise.
how would you go about creating that? are we talking about colored coins or how would you represent the discounts/offers? Also would colored coins be doable? might actually be the killer app for this kind of business.
