Topic: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt forum now moved to nxtforums.org - page 43. (Read 78026 times)

Hi,
I'm webdesigner, added some CSS code and HTML to the file in nxt/webapps/root/message.html. The font is from google fonts. All in one, we just need to replace the file by mine. Informations in yellow block is quoted from nxt wiki.

NXT message re-designed by me, image and video (on vidd.me) :



I release the code if I get a reward from NXT Community, I think 2000NXT is a good amount, I can do the same job for "Alias". What do you think ?

 gvans nxt monolith  -files for production available

                

As requested, I have done some research and processed manufacturing files for nxt monolith.
Instruction pdf and dxf-files for lasercutting are provided. Lasercutting is the easy and preferred method as it results polished edges for acrylic.
Also iges and stl files for 3d-print and cnc are available.

I think these will make brilliant marketing material for Bitcoin conferences and they are exclusive novelty items too. I may look up for possibilities to manufature these myself. But feel free to use all the data to get these produced if needed asap for conferences etc. Consult and discuss details with your manufacturer before production.

- this was a post on main nxt-thread but I thought this may be useful and easier to spot here for marketing purposes too -

I just heard back from my designer friend and they are getting really excited.

Basically they are a company whose core business is delivering total brands, so they could "pull together" the Nxt image.
We could have one style worked through apparel, business cards, promo materials etc.

I've sent them the current material and stressed that the logo is a given, but invited them to play around with it and show us what they come up with.

Just so you know who they are, here is the company website: http://onepagedesign.nl/

The portfolios for the two people who will be working on it:

1. My mate:
http://dutchgamedesign.wordpress.com/portfolio/ (fairly old)
http://www.redbubble.com/people/bergmandesign/portfolio

2. The "other" guy, whom I haven't met yet.
http://www.idxsign.com/

Currently they are working for Samsung and Vodafone on a project.

We are setting up a meeting to see what they could do, but it's sure they could provide us with all branding designs if we want.
They would be willing to do this for 30.000 Nxt, as they believe that if they do a good job, and Nxt rises in value it will be a very good investment.

We all learn from Peter Jackson and the Harry Potter films  

Is it an idea not to think of them as separate vids, but as one interview?
Not to be stingy, just as food for thought?

Edit: also thanks for the Nxt, once again!

As you maybe noticed, I always "announce" future payments in the gdoc for any comments before sending payments from NxtMarketing acc. Few days have passed, so the last payments are in same criterias as previous:

welcome our new campaign manager for reddit (I think there are 2-3, but this one would also pay for campaigns)

Quick Poll for Conference Funding

Don't get me wrong, I like hot naked chicks, but it's not the best marketing for NXT. Don't forget that half the world has boobies and isn't that interested in seeing more.
Using sex-appeal in marketing is so 1960's, NXT needs to be 2060's.....

On the climate-change/carbon-offset/charity front, I've got a great proposal in the pipeline that won't cost a fortune, but will both do some good in the world and get NXT some really unique, high-profile publicity.  Stay tuned for further info, I should be able to post a working plan later on today.

(great proposal, I'm so modest  )

A little small minor miniscule advice for promotion of Nxt in general:

If you address third parties, don't make the mistake to emphasize your goal of promotion too much.
You might think "hey, I am am indeed promoting a currency and this is actually good promotion", but we are all bothered with ads all day long and have a sceptical attitude towards promotion.

I did this wrong myself in the beginning, when trying to set up online chess tournaments.
I told them I want to promote a currency by donating prizemoney. the reply wasn't too friendly in the beginning.

But think about it: you don't wanna sell something, you offer a vehicle, that is extremely valuable and you offer it for nothing!
The adoption of cryptocurrency in online games or any online activity, where physical goods aren't exchanged, is extremely scarce, but in fact it fits like chalk and cheese. you bring value to their product/platform/game by pointing out the values of Nxt.

Our marketing should strongly circle around third parties adopting Nxt as an easy to use currency.
We don't have to address every single enduser ourselves!

From eb101 on nextcoin.org:

I don't think it's a good idea to use the cheap "sex appeal" sells strategy.
It's a cheap marketing plot that really don't bring attention to NXT as something other than "something associated with girls".

I think we should focus on donating to things that actually matter: wikileaks, snowden, fighting climate change, biotech research, hightech stuff.
Let's try to brand NXT as the futuristic cryptocurrency.

Also: I am not saying we can't use any of those "cheap marketing schemes", but let's not prioritize it over the important ones.
Having random hotgirls with a NXT logo tweeting about it certainly gets the logo out there in the zeitgeist, but you run the risk of being labelled as yet another altcoin joke

What about body art only photoshoot? Then we can save on the T-shirt

someone from UK who would send her pink T-shirt with our logo?

This reminds me I actually know miss Czech republic from the school

green + nxt + charity = celebrities support

Here is the first video from our 2 hr interview with Anon136 about nxt transparent forging:

"What is Transparent Forging in Nextcoin (NXT)?"

If you know anyone that can help with transcription please let me know.

Tai Zen

for nxt 2 months, then will obviously price of Nxt be double/triple from today, so it could be 50-100.000 in September..

No worries, mate......sorry to piss on your parade.
It's not actually a bad idea, though, just maybe the wrong context. See salsacz's flashmob/viral vid concept above. I can see a NXT flashmob/swarm being a really cool promo tool for the general public.

@damelon: good news all round. Nice one.

On carbon offset: I've done some very, very superficial research into it, but here are some (dodgy) numbers:
Assuming a NXT network of 1000 RaspPi (non-solar) and 1000 small VPS,

RaspPi consumption is 4 Watts (from ebereons numbers) = 35 kilowatthours/year x1000 = 35,000 kWh per year
VPS consumption is around 10 -25 Watts (Amazon EC2+guess work) = 88 - 220 kWh/year x1000 = 88 - 220,000 kWh per year.

This gives a total for my hypothetical 1000 RP/1000 VPS network of somewhere between  123,000 and 255,000 kWh per year.

Taking these figures and plugging them into various carbon emission calculators gives us total CO₂ emissions, which vary between country, of between 88 and 176 tonnes per year (in the US) or as low as 20 - 40 tonnes in Switzerland.

This gives us cost estimates (depending on project type) from 1000 CHF per year to around 2500 USD per year for carbon offset.
Hmmm.....not very expensive, but I do know that the current NXT network is larger than my estimate.
More brainstorming needed....

monthly?!

Edit: isn't that rather high? I mean that as a neutral question, not as an implicit statement that it ís high.

I would expect 350.000

well, we could create some flashmobs / viral videos like:

belgian drama

airport gift mob
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnxfJ2YImRk

Ode an die Freude
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJcQYVtZMo

I would like to concentrate on creating the scripts for such mobs / events
