NXT Event Marketing Information and Redemption Cards
UPDATED 1/28 QBTC is working on design elements and landing page planned for http://www.nxtcrypto.org/
UPDATED 1/26 Removed Design bounties to lower costs

Proposal for Marketing Concept – jefdiesel

Design and print an informative introduction to NXT to be presented at Cryptocoin
Events worldwide that includes links to App and a redeemable code for a faucet to
obtain a premium amount of NXT (10, 20, etc)

Card would include important NXT facts as pertinent to more traditional Crypto users, including
   100% new code, not a clone
   Proof of Stake
   No Mining, Green Coin
   1 billion coins limit.
   Advanced Features, Alias, Colored Coins etc.

Card will share the top quality design done by QBTC at http://www.nxtcrypto.org and have a web link to a landing page on http://www.nxtcrypto.org/redeem, with an explanation of secure wallet concept.
Slide show will instruct users to download and SHA256 hash check, and then create their wallet.
Site will then have them enter their address and the individual redemption code on the card that will pay their account the Premium NXT.

Redemption codes will be created upon application by promoting users, for specific events and dates.
Redemption codes will be date limited, and location marked, so new user sign ups can be tracked by event, and promotion efforts can be quantified, allowing more energy to be expended where it is needed.

Top promoting users will be rewarded for sign ups with a NXT bounty

Faucet will be formatted like other popular faucets, but will ask for account number and redemption code.

Any account with existing NXT that attempts to redeem a code will be told code is invalid and have their IP and account flagged for auditing, with redemption code cancelled from future usage.

Successful redemptions will have their IP, block chain address and card distribution location marked, along with a 30-day account snapshot taken of any actions made with NXT to determine adoption patterns.

Ideally we will be able to analyze new user uptake, and interest, along with any growing investment or to determine if there is any abuse of the project through siphoning off funds.

Great idea, and I'm willing to do the faucet coding.. I run the nxtra.org faucet after all :-)

[gbeirn]

I will help with funding.

[utopianfuture]

Great effort. I will help with my personal fund and will ask some donors to do so. Would also hope this could be funded via our common fund because it would be great promotional tool to spread out NXT.

Will look more into it for you.

UPDATE 1/23
WesleyH has signed on to customize his existing faucet for this project, and assist in DB coding

Thanks for the support

Hi, if u need indonesian translator i'm here!

This is a good idea. We should have the cards in different languages and add it to the common branding resource section.

[jefdiesel]

I planned on International versions, with the idea being the regional distributors can print the cards locally with funds provided by the project and will have redemption codes created from the fund DB.

They can distribute their cards locally and use the same faucet

[Damelon]

If you need Dutch (where English in all honesty will probably suffice), I'm your man.

Good plan!

[jefdiesel]

Yeah I'm wondering how many countries really need an international version for this card?

I agree with the Chinese and Asian markets, but I assume for a lot of EU countries the bullet points, URL, and FREE NXT will be understandable.

The website should have local translations for people who want to learn more

I know for a fact you will need to localise Germany.
I know we have some Germans here, but I was (and am) quite shocked at the lack of knowledge of English there. But that's a Dutch way of looking at things.
France will need localisation, too, probably.

[VanBreuk]

You can count with me for any spanish translation work.

[jefdiesel]

I guess we will see how the funding comes together.

My intention is to handle the North American Market, mostly with English, but will print and ship translations if the need arrises.

Plan would be to create the template, with text and links, and have it translated as needed, and updated as features are implemented.
Website will mirror the look and feel of the cards.

I would ask international distributors to get a quote for local printing,  VS shipping from the US.

All redemption codes will be generated and tied to the one faucet account and codes will be tracked as one dataset, no matter the locale.

getnxt.co has been purchased for this project
