Topic: NXT :: descendant of Bitcoin - Updated Information - page 1528. (Read 2761645 times)

How about something like this:
1. Nexern client released and debugged. It has to be perfect.
2. Giveaway 500 NXT to 500 people on forums- 250k
3. 750k initial budget for marketing released to those chosen as managers. They can start planning and budgeting now though.

Agree. Let salzacs  take care of marketing funding and have a report back after sometimes.

FOCUS ON CHINA!   use the new exchange....Educate

Are we talking about spending some of that unclaimed  9 million on marketing?

*edit* sorry i just woke up so im not sure whats going on

One of the things marketing at this point can do, is communicate that we are still beta. Much dissapointment and people leaving can be had from just doing that.
Get out the message that we are innovating and create a buzz that people will want to jump into as soon as it's possible for them.

That's what I mean by creating a wave. You want people to wánt it.

I also think we should do regular reports to the community what we are doing and have done. Results.

I agree.

salzacs reports back with the results of the 250K

NXT away, Captain!

The budget is for NEW items. Look at the 2014 column and the numbers of each item.
I am sure salascz will be able to provide as much detail as possible. I think we have all seen the proven results. In order to plan marketing, you need to know what your budget is. Otherwise, how do you intelligently select where to spend money.

The funds do not need to be there immediately, but it is important to know how much will be available.
I nominate salascz to manage the marketing budget so it will go to all the places deemed valuable. Progress reports to be made as results come in and as long as community is satisfied, the payments continue.

Marketing groups have been underfunded as compared to the technical side. This is natural. I am not advocating DOGE style marketing. I am talking about funding NXT style marketing.

NXT needs a marketing budget. We have someone who has shown competence and can coordinate all the various marketing efforts. Then all the horrible disgusting marketing stuff will be distilled down to progress reports and the techies won't have to bother much about it.

Please fund salascz's marketing plan. Do not stop any technical development. this is using funds that are just sitting idle as the competition is catching up with us. Let us use the resources we have.

James

OK

Please consider this :

    I agree with James that we need some marketing , but for more techies and for more early adopters (for those that missed most of the "trains" like bitcoin litecoin, they can get on this bus), not the end user the end user isn’t ready for nxt neither nxt for the end user ... doggie coin? well ok let doggy coin take the dumbs! we will take the devs and the marketers, nxt is already success ! ( have you installed the 0.5.9v ? ) its much wow... many thanks Jean-Luc...

we are in the stage of INNOVATION , were everybody that wants to get in needs to show some efforts to code code code for the community,contribute, provide goods and services...
    So please we are not dogy we are NXT, decentralized assets, exchange... and please promote in the places where developers need work (like Indian forums for example) this is what we need , developers & marketers.

Let's send 250K and watch the result.

I contacted BTer about adding NXT weeks ago, wrote several arguments in favour and then they thanked me a week ago, added NXT yesterday and the price skyrocketed 100%
It *works*


We have been asking for NXT to support our projects for over a month (me, justabit, salsacz, niftynikel), but we haven't got anything from the left over NXTs and now that eMu is about to release people SUDDENLY realize how important marketing is? Yea well then let's get on with it

I want to know more about the client coming in one week. From who? any hints? I want to write a piece for
nxtnews.co

AGREE

PIN pls prepare POLL

I think you guys already *have* an image "the NeXT generation" and any marketing plan should be primarily be focused on this (the logo does work in this regards also as it looks kind of like some sort of Star Trek thing).

I don't like the material going too over the top to compare Nxt to other stuff (it just looks desperate IMO) - just make the points without looking like you are putting down (or obviously worried about being compared to) anything else.

Some of the most clever marketing campaigns have been ones that didn't even obviously appear to promote the product (the Silk Cut cigarette campaign from the 80's to the early 2000's being a very good example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Cut).

No we don't, we need to build the best features of any alt crypto, and the marketing will take care of itself.  We need very specific proposals for marketing anyway.  Everyone said we need to be on mainstream exchanges, so what, that has nothing to do with marketing, they added us because of the Nxt features.

How is Salsacz going to reach a bigger audience than something like Let's Talk Bitcoin?

Come on, don't spend 500.000 NXT blindly. I'm not saying Salsacz plan's aren't good, i'm just saying think before you execute.

Marketing takes time to prepare.
If there will be the one click client in one week it is wise to start the preparation for marketing now.

Hand out something between 250K and 500K (Make a one day poll and use the average of voted amount) and let the preparation for the campaign start.

In a week, together with the client, the prepared campaign can launch. Results will decide about further funding.

I am still reading your posts, I will just post here a few plans that were already published:
