A quick slideshow highlighting points of discussion for marketing new social app due to launch Sept 2013.

1. {
Meeple
September 2013 Marketing Plan

2. What we have.
Okay, lets start with…

3. 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

4. Now lets talk about…
What we need.

5. We need:
1. A Final Decision
Are we keeping Meeple, or switching to FourPlay?

6. 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, neither
will anyone else. (IMAGE=IDENTITY)

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.)

12. Now that we have established our needs…
Here’s the Gameplan.
