Ridhorahfa.com - A successful marketing campaign takes a lot of planning, collaboration, and execution. Creating a strategy, choosing the right channels for your target audience and coming up with a plan to track your ROI are all essential to any marketing venture. Thankfully, token markets have made some things much easier when it comes to launching an ICO or sale of your tokens. You don’t need an expensive agency to launch an ICO these days – you just need a good white paper and website. But what about that ‘softer’ side of marketing? The side where words like ‘branding’ and ‘positioning’ creep into our world? How do you launch your product in the right way and reach the people who want to hear about it?
Why Does Marketing Matter?
Marketing is one of the fundamental building blocks of any business. It’s what draws in potential customers, educates them on your product, and gets them to take the next step. Any successful ICO or token sale is backed by a strong marketing strategy. It’s what translates your idea into something that resonates with investors. That’s why marketing is such an important part of any token sale. Beyond the ICO, it’s marketing that keeps your business relevant. Without it, you can’t reach new potential customers. You won’t be able to sustain your business with just your existing clientele.
What Is Token-Based Marketing?
Token based marketing, or TBMs for short, is a social media marketing strategy for driving sales and engagement related to your token sale. TBMs are a subset of a larger marketing strategy, but since the rules for social media engagement is different for token sales, it deserves its own classification. It’s important to keep in mind that your goal when executing a token sale is different from your goal when launching a product. In the latter, you’re trying to get users to sign up and try out your product. In the former, you’re trying to get potential investors to participate in your sale.
How to Build a Successful Marketing Campaign
There are two core components to any successful marketing campaign: strategy and execution. This applies equally to token-based marketing and product-based marketing. Here are some tips to get the best out of your campaign:
Define your Audience and Objective
The first thing you need to do is see who your customers are and who you’re marketing to. This will define your target market, which in turn will inform your objective. If you’re launching an ICO and trying to raise capital, your target market is anyone who invests in blockchain and cryptocurrencies. If you’re launching a product and want to onboard new users, your target market is anyone who might use your product. Your objectives will vary depending on your product and token sale. For an ICO, it might be to raise capital via sales of tokens, or to drive signups for your token sale. With a product, you might be trying to onboard new users to your platform, or get existing users to retain.
Choose Your Channels
Once you’ve defined your target market and objective, it’s time to decide on the right channel for your token sale. This channel is where your potential investors and customers are. It’s important to note that you don’t want to just be present on just one channel. You need to be on as many channels as possible. The channels you should consider for your token sale include:
Develop Your Content Strategy
Once you’ve decided on the channels, you need to come up with a content strategy to tie them all together. This content strategy should include: - What messages do you want to convey? What is your brand voice? What do you want your token sale to convey? - What is your unique selling proposition (USP)? - Who are your competitors? What are they doing that you’re not?
Track your ROI
This is the last but most important element of your successful marketing campaign. If you’re not measuring your marketing ROI, you’re flying blind. In today’s digital landscape, there are a lot of ways to track your ROI and see how your marketing efforts are faring. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most important tools below. You can use these tools to track your ICO and token sale engagement. You can track your keywords, social media posts, and even your competitors. You can track what times of the day people are most active on these platforms. You can even keep tabs on how well your community is engaging. You can also use these tools to track your product’s adoption. You can track your website traffic, conversion rates, and even gauge how many people are clicking on your signup buttons. You can also track your product’s key performance indicators like average time spent on your site and session times. You can also use these tools to track engagement on your other digital properties like your newsletter or email list. You can track who is signing up for your list, what times of the day they’re signing up, and what content is resonating with your audience. In short, there may be no better way to measure your marketing ROI than digital tracking tools.
