it is a good concept but in my opinion such a concept is still not very interesting because there are still not many people who use crypto as a payment tool and the biggest problem is that there are very few shopping places that accept crypto as legitimate payments, so your team must work same as many shopping places so that your card can be accepted and used by many people

Exactly, crypto is not used as a payment tool so far I mean a maximum number of peoples are only have intentions to make profit from buying and selling. The usage to crypto for payment need to be increased.

Creating a product (cryptocurrency) isn't easy and getting people to use your product is JUST as difficult. So far we've done Airdrops, Affiliate Programs, Social Media sharing, and Press Releases, with the marketing strategy all explained here https://medium.com/@XIF_Official/x-infinity-marketing-strategy-getting-merchants-and-consumers-onboard-34e2218aaa54. Our company has created a cryptocurrency wallet/ debit card linked with MasterCard so you can use it to buy a cup of coffee or go grocery shopping with based in South East Asia. For an AltCoin like this, how would you guys go about reaching out to real users?

Heavy promotion is all you need. You will need to fix a good amount of budget for promoting your project. Press release was a good idea. But since your project is mainly focusing on South East Asian people, you will also need to move your promotion and focus mainly towards them. The Social Media sharing won't actually help much (I am talking about paying people to share post, comment, tweet etc.) since most of them just use fake profile, i guess you who what I meant.
Try promoting your project using the help of some other platform, like promote your project on well known SEA blogs, news press and forum. Show what you guys have to offer them.

The adoption is going to take years and year and until common merchants and business aren't accepting cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, we may never see an altcoin that is linked to a creditcard that will also be useful as the current cards today. Until media keeps the drama of telling bitcoin to be a fraud and all others to be scam, it will be stil not be used. XIF would be like the current coins such as Monaco tokens and TenX. If any of them gets to be used one day, all others will be.

Your idea is not new and you are very far behind in the game.
And you are targetting southeast asia?
You are in direct competition with TenX, Monaco and OMG.
All three of these are already very far along and I don't see any new company being able to overtake them.

Also, why haven't you considered point of sales payment methods?
That is the preferred form of payment throughout young, affluent tech users in asia (the ones that would be interested in crypto in the first place).
For example, in China, you can already load your alipay and wepay with btc.
So you can use your phone to pay basically anything with btc.
Also, consider using professional think tank services on how to expand, like crowdholding for example

Making people use a certain crypto currency will never work. People need to be fully informed about the prospects and usefulness of cryptocurrency. If people are not interested in the coin, then marketing is not designed correctly.

We really need a platform like this, not only developing financial technology but also making cryptocurrency become more useful and have value in real life. Since this platform is already operational, so I think they just need to focus on spreading the network to all countries, so that everyone can take benefit from cryptocurrency.

Don't do anything just show them what you earned in crypto,
For sure they would ask you how you get it and they would also try it,
People would just ignore you if you pursue them to use it but if you show what you already earn they would follow you.

Just offer people a working product, a good attitude towards them, a growth perspective and your coin will be in demand in the market.

For a project like yours that offers a crypto wallet and a debit card that has the power to spend crypto, i will suggest you to come up with a truly global card that will increase the userbase and attract large customer base to your project and help with adoption.

You only need a new program with a unique idea from the others, the cryptocurrency debit card program associated with MasterCard has been used by many projects out there, so far they have failed in development, only (MCO) Crypto.com has successfully launched a debit card ( McoVisaCard)

the problem is not with advertisement or reaching out to merchants or linking the coin to mastercard,...
the problem is that this coin is not different from hundreds of others and all of them are doing the same thing. so the question remains that why would a user choose this coin instead of another one.
sometimes just being different is not enough. that difference has to be big enough and fundamental enough to make a difference so that people want to use it.

Very true and each of them can not solve our scaling issue right now.
advertisement is only good for a moment but it is not sustainable and in the end there will be another cryptocurrency popped out from no-where claiming to be the next cryptocurrency.

Yes this kind ICO product makes crypto strong since this project is very usable and applicable to our society , other project which is similar to this like AROUND "AR" and UBcoin are also use for online purchase so it's good to patronize on this product .

A good marketing strategy, invest on people who are known in doing this and I think you can easily find them or they will find you as long as you have a concrete plans and a project that will work. Debit cards are common but whats you edge from the others. Do you have your own blockchain or just another erc28? These are the questions that I believe that needs to be answered in order for you to gain users.

Somehow your ANN thread has so few replies, that's a pity. Signature campaigns seems a good way to my mind and one example of this can be Qtum. Currently they are 29th on coinmarketcap, they ran a massive signature campaign (bitcoin based) for four weeks as I remember.
It's really hard to suggest ideas because especially nowdays, marketing requires a lot of money...
Btw project is good.

Interesting. So do they really want to promote their project by the signature campaign? I don't think so because they were indirectly promoting their medium blog topic.

I hadn't heard of your crypto yet before this thread.

You may need to get press releases out there and perhaps try to reach a younger audience via Reddit and so on.

I do know for a fact that traditional marketing channels don't really perform for cryptos. Cryptos require word of mouth marketing. A trusted person to convince another one to use cryptos. When you spend $$$ on TV and so on you're not really touching the "trust " side of people's desire to invest in crypto.

Interesting views on the subject. Thank you for your input!

It's either you might have the wrong market for your product or you have promoted it badly. I myself is staying in a country in South East Asia but for once I have never seen any promotions regarding X infinity market not until now. Also if you want to test out your product which I think is a great idea you should have some recruitment process on some volunteers to see if their life was made easier with the use of your debit card linked to their cryptocurrency. Usually a product like what you have is afraid to be tested first by them if they are not seeing any good reputation behind yours, having a good feedback as well as partnering up with reputable banks is the best way to build their trust.

We have dedicated a fair bit of funds to marketing in South East Asia as you can see here https://medium.com/@XIF_Official/x-infinity-world-music-showcase-2018-f36d70314e0d. With regards to your suggestion on choosing volunteers to see if life was made easier using our product, is a sound idea! Thank you for your input!

how would you guys go about reaching out to real users?

The problem is that 90% of altcoins are concentrating on making paid campaigns on their own altcoins that most of the time these same altcoins are worthless, if the owners of the altcoins concentrate on doing signature campaigns paid in bitcoin then they would have bigger exposure of your product, because many people would participate in the signature campaign, participate in twitter campaign, facebook and yotube.
Of course, running a paid campaign in bitcoin implies that project owners will have to take money out of their pockets, but the results will be much better.

Another very important point is that the project team must interact in the thread and in the social media. I believe that making explanatory videos about how your product works becomes much more inviting

We are active on these social platforms. However, I feel the most affective platforms for marketing crypto is BitcoinTalk, though we have been neglecting marketing on this platform as you have mentioned. With regards to promoting an introductory video, we will work on it. Thank you for your input
