#promo-uk: Update Report. Promotion Options. Plus second batch of 1,000 flyers ready go out tomorrow..!!

#promo-uk (Update on Marketing Initiative)

As we step up the gear for the Promotion and Marketing of STEEMIT in the U.K. I just wanted to let you know of the progress that Steve @TecAV and I are making.

Steve and I have had a number of telephone conversations over the last week and I wanted to set out the Options that we have talked about, and the progress made on each.

As the Initiative gets underway I am sure we will be adding/amending/removing Options as we get more feedback on results.

**Note to Steve @TecAV:

Steve, I have used the same Options set out in the email from the weekend.

OPTION - 1 SHOPPING CENTRE

Steve and I have made contact with a Management Company who deals with the management and rental of marketing and promotional space.

I have arranged a meeting with them tomorrow, however we have already done quite a bit of work on the proposal with them which I will be meeting them tomorrow to discuss.

This is what we are looking into:

Two types of events.

• Sign Up Day
• Events / Talent Day

For both options @TecAV will supply, install, manage, and operate all the technical equipment and will be responsible for the Health and Safety, Risk Assessments, Public Liability Insurance and Contract. The required Public Liability Insurance will be taken out to cover public risk.

Event 2 "Steemit's Got Talent" will require a stage and this has been proposed and submitted by @TecAV along with a necessary "Technical Pack".

Prices for space(s) only are set out in the email below.

OPTION - 2 HOTEL VENUE

Hold an event at a location such a Hotel/Conference Centre etc.

This option would come at a reduced Public Liability as it would come under the Hotel/Venue Insurance.

However this will require excessive marketing to bring awareness of the event.

Room cost approx. £280 + food/drink.

OPTION - 3 HAND OUT FLYERS

On Monday the first batch of 1,000 flyers were handed out in the Manchester University Campus and the second batch will go out tomorrow.

I am looking for Steemit Users in the U.K. happy to hand out flyers in their own Town/City. Please leave details in the comments below.

OPTION - 4 POST FLYERS DOOR TO DOOR

This option requires minimal cost and will be considered shortly.

OPTION - 5 SUPERMARKET STAND

This option requires some more research and cost.

OPTION - 6 MOBILE ADVERTISING

This option requires some more research and cost.

OPTION - 7 RADIO INTERVIEW

I have approached a Radio Show who are reviewing a possible promotional slot.

OPTION - 8 MAGAZINES AND PUBLICATIONS

This option will require some more research on cost.

The above lays out the Options that @TecAV and I have talked about and that we intend to use as a bases.

I hope this helps and gives you an idea of the Options we are looking into.

Thanks again for all your support on the #promo-uk Marketing Initiative.

Stephen
