The 10,000 Flyers marketing campaign is a low-cost idea that will help get the word out about Steemit to thousands of potential new users.
The plan is to have the community design several 8.5 x 11 flyers that can be printed out and hung up in coffee shops, book stores, colleges, etc. Once the designs are done, users can pick their favorite one(s), print off a few color copies at their local print store, and then hang them up in their local areas. (Prints should be less than $1 per color copy, and 10 cents for B&W.)
My goal is to have 10,000 flyers printed out and hung up by the community before the end of July!
This post is for the artists and graphic designers of the community to submit their entries for the flyers. My budget for this will be ~300 STEEM. 100 STEEM will be awarded to the 'best' flyer, 50 STEEM will be awarded to the two runners up, and 10 STEEM will be awarded to anyone who submitted a reasonable quality entry.
Bounty / Contest Rules:
- The flyer images must be designed to attract new users to the platform.
- They must have some info on how to get to the platform (i.e. the website Steemit.com).
- They cannot contain links or information to specific user's blogs.
- They must be 'safe for work' (something that can be hung up in a public area where kids may be present).
- They cannot mislead people or give false expectations for joining.
- Entries must be submitted in the form of an image that can be pasted into a Word document and printed on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper.
- Entries will be accepted until the payout for this post closes.
- I will be selecting the winners based on my own personal preference, but I will take comments and upvotes from the community into consideration.
- All payouts will be made within 48 hours of this post closing.
- Each user can submit as many entries as they want, but I will only be paying out one bounty per person.
Image Guidelines:
- 2550 x 3300 or 3300 x 2550 images are what Google recommended for 8.5 x 11 paper.
- Black and White or Color are accepted. (Submit two versions if you think both will look good.)
Some Tips:
- If you are looking for inspiration, check out some of ideas suggested in the comments of Steemit Marketing Idea - 10,000 Flyers (Brainstorming Session).
- If you are looking for some "talking points" on what to include to 'sell' the platform, you can check out this post: You should join Steemit. Here is why.
- A section on the bottom with 10-15 'tear off tabs' that say "Steemit.com" (or something along those lines), could be good to include.
- You can target the general community (i.e. everybody), or specific audiences (i.e. artists, writers, etc.).
- Keep in mind that we want people to stick around, so enticing people with things like "earn tons of money on Steemit" is generally not a good idea. Set realistic expectations so they end up sticking around :)
Good Luck Everybody! I look forward to seeing the submissions =)
