What are the Products in Blockchain Technology?
Blockchain technology provides a foundation for peer-to-peer (or simply put, person to person) exchange of assets in the form of tokens. These assets can be money, artworks, products and services, or just anything two entities can exchange through a digital medium. Based on what kind of exchange is supported, blockchain products and services can be in many forms. Some of the most prominent ones are crypto exchanges, wallets, trading platforms, payment services, e-commerce, NFTs, etc.
Your blockchain marketing should encompass promotional strategies for all of such services your platform supports. Or consequently, you can also highlight some services and promote others as additional features or support for your users. This is a decision that’ll define your overall marketing mix, to begin with.
How is Price defined in Crypto Marketing Mix?
Price is usually defined as the payment for using a platform or service in the Blockchain space. This payment differs when looked at from the side of users and businesses. For users, there are often additional payments in the form of Gas Fees, over and above the charges for using a platform’s services. These charges themselves are either standardized or variable.
Price is often considered a make-or-break factor for most products. This is primarily due to the difference in communicating the value proposition of the product and its experienced value. A great marketing mix helps users experience a value greater than that they are paying for, or at the very least, an equivalent value.
The understanding of the above points can lay the foundation for a great crypto marketing plan. So let’s get going!
What kind of Promotion does Blockchain Marketing Mix need?
Considering all the factors in play, a great plan for promotion should take care of the following:
- It should clear doubts and build trust among users and potential customers for Blockchain technology and especially for your business. Crypto space is already very secure but does your audience understand that, do they accept it as such?
- It should show a great value proposition backed by an equally good platform to deliver your services. Value can be seen in terms of ease of use, time, support, etc. These are the factors that go beyond just using a product.
- It should show the world that your business is best at what it gives, that using your services or being a part of your ecosystem is the way to go. In short, brand yourselves up the ladder. This form of promotion requires a deeper level of communication and engagement.
It isn’t as simple as it seems though and is not limited to the above as well. These points capture the essence of what we have to achieve through promotion. And to have a clear goal is to have a clear path. You can read how Twitter, Telegram, and Influencers can be integrated into a great crypto marketing tactic to achieve such communication. It is also important to note that the order of communicating these factors may differ with time, trends, and channels.
What Place does Blockchain Marketing work best?
Everyone says, be where your customers are. And yes, that is the truth but not the complete truth. In today’s world where everything is connected and integrated, your marketing channels and promotional strategies need to be equally connected too. Due to regulations on many promotional activities and channels, crypto businesses are best promoted on social media and public networks of similar nature.
Twitter marketing and Instagram marketing are the go-to options for crypto marketers. They have great outreach, they are full of influencers you can leverage, and practically everyone is there. Youtube marketing through influencers is another great place to look into alongside many other options.
But they are not enough, the incomplete truth mentioned earlier. Crypto marketing has to add an extra dimension to market blockchain businesses, communities. This is where Telegram and Discord marketing steps in. With such channels in place, your marketing process will cover every major aspect of your blockchain marketing mix.
