MeepleSeptember 2013 Marketing Plan
What we have.
Okay, lets start with…
We have:
- 355 email addresses
- An innovative social app with lots of potential nearing launch
- A website (landing page)
- Facebook and Twitter accounts
- $8,000 budget for 1st month of marketing
Now lets talk about…
What we need.
We need:
1. A Final Decision
Are we keeping Meeple, or switching to FourPlay?
What we need… (cont.)
2. Finalized Brand/Marketing Materials
Copy, photos, intro ads, banners, postcards/business cards, and slogans all approved and ammended to branding guidelines.
When we launch we want consistency… If we don’t know who we are, neitherwill anyone else. (IMAGE=IDENTITY)
3. Acquire MORE email addresses. More users. More PEOPLE.
What we need… (cont.)
-Everyone loves a deal. Introduce share and save incentives via multiple channels
-Hire Postcard Canvassers. Personable, attractive Brand Representatives out in the field, engaging the public, sharing the fun and the savings all the while collecting email addresses.
4. Blog/Press Coverage. It’s all about the HYPE!
What we need… (cont.)
-Reach out to 7x7, the SF Chronicle, & the Guardian for segments, interviews and exposes on what’s happening
-Open an Instagram, feature user experience pics, special offers for follows, ads for venues, event photos etc.
-Keep users updated on Facebook and twitter, revamp pages as necessary.
5. Nothing generates hype like a PARTY!
What we need… (cont.)
-Throw a Press Party w/ one of our Partnered Restaurants as the “Host of the month”. Invite everyone… Bloggers, press, store owners and users.
-Have a hired photographer to document the event, capture the magic and let others know what they missed.
-Have a frontman. Someone who can engage the guests and explain/promote what we do with enthusiasm.
-Keep it fun. Emphasize social perks > economical perks. Our people value people, an emotional approach is more moving than a financial one.
6. YouTube Account and Video
What we need… (cont.)
- A fun, simple 30 second video teaser has massive potential for brand exposure worldwide.
- Teaser video should invoke curiosity about our brand.
- Keep it simple. Dialogue free, a script is not necessary. Imagery of cool people having a blast, accompanied by an appropriate musical track and a fade out to our logo. Done deal. (If you satisfy all their questions immediately, there’s no incentive to explore further.) Keep them wanting more.
7. Take Advantage of the Holidays…
-Holidays are premier opportunities to attract new users, and engage existing ones.
-People already have the day off; give them something to do.
-People are already planning on spending. Divert some of the cash flow our way. Schedule and advertise major promotions ahead of time to maximize ROI.
-For September, Labor Day, International day of Peace and the First day off Fall are all great opportunities to schedule events/promotions.
What we need… (cont.)
Now that we have established our needs…
