BACKGROUND INFORMATION
We hope to continue setting new precedents, and standards to serve as an example for a thriving and productive web3 music community.
NFT holders from 2023 will get upgraded VIP Ticket Packages
The rollout will include 5 months of social media content creation and promotion along with 3 events.
3 IG Live AMA’s with NEAR ecosystem partners
2 long-form podcast-style video: highlighting the event, why, and how we are using web3 the improve the fan and artist experience.
3 sizzle reel-style promo videos
LouiEvolve Passport: for the 8 weeks leading up to the festival, we will drop one of eight NFTs that will be part of the passport, released in a combination of Instagram stories and partnering with other artists at their shows before the festival. Collecting NFTs will be eligible for prizes such as merch, VIP tickets, and other redeemables.
LouiEvolve Artists Orientation and Onboarding Party: Pre-festival orientation where all artists get a review of the event while learning more intimately about opportunities in web3. Last year’s speakers included affiliates of Jack Harlow and Timbaland.
Onboarding Goal: 50-75
Collaborative Workshop w/ Industry Leaders: The LouiEvolve network partners with music and entertainment industry professionals for community presentations and discussions on niche subject matter such as royalties and web3. For this iteration, we will feature discussions surrounding the emergence of crypto, NFTs, and web3 in the entertainment industry, what artists need to know, and how they can take advantage of new opportunities by prioritizing the fan experience.
Onboarding Goal: 50-75
On-Site During Festival: posters and banners will be displayed throughout the venue for attendees to collect special edition NFTs from LouiEvolve artists that work as standalone collectibles or may be used for perks or access to future events.
Onboarding Goal: 150-200
NEAR Lounge
The venue we are scouting has a “speakeasy” area where we plan to have the artist lounge and in a perfect world, a metaverse viewing space. This would be the NEAR x Music Lounge where fans that have bought into the web3 offerings will converge with their favorite artists and get exclusive access and experiences. This gives a tangible web3 experience and provides context to why NFTs are more valuable than “number go up.”
Buying or Acquiring an NFT= access to afterparty/artist lounge and speakeasy
We are improving our white-label marketplace for LouiEvolve.
We would like to have a refresh/redo on our LouiEvolve site and even better be able to merge to create a better synergy of our web2 louievolve.co site and build upon the skeleton of the art.louievolve.co.
Improvements to Marketplace We Hope to Include:
Fiat Onboarding: We want to make the buying experience as simple as possible, with the option to pay with fiat by credit or by crypto.
Redeemables/Including Tickets: an easier way for our team(s) and vendors to validate tickets, merch purchases, discounts, and coupons on-site.
A/V playability in wallet.
P2P Communications: the ability to be able to communicate with our community wallet 2 wallet to build foundational platforms to spread key messages, and invites.
Merch: easy to buy merch with fiat or crypto. Discounts for paying in crypto?
Token-Gating: token-gate access to new drops, tickets, and events.
Airdrop/NFT Gallery/Leaderboard/Passport: A display of all the affiliated NFTs that have been dropped or made available and what potential use-case/redeemable, if any, they may have.
Dashboard: The ability to manage display NFTs, affiliations, circulation, and rewards.
Buy/Sell/Auction NFTs: would be cool for others to be able to sell their NFTs on the platform. Even cooler is they had to hold a specific NFT to be allowed to do so. Less priority.

Throughout this process, we are looking to onboard two new developers to help continue building and growing alongside the community.
Quantitative and qualitative information.
Pre-Festival Content Creation will include up to 5-10 Reels over the next 6 months
1 Long Form Podcast Episodes.
2 Side Events for artists, onboarding and education.
2 Promo Videos
more than 1500 guests attended LouiEvolve 2023
125 airdrop links were created
https://explorer.mainnet.near.org/accounts/harmonic1.near
34 NFTs claimed
8.3% of attendees interacted with the NFT display.
The NFT display was completely passive, as there was not available representation to walk attendees through the process, making onboarding a completely independent process.
We had 40+ people at a post event workshop that were ready to be onboarded but could not due to technical difficulties and dev support.
With proper tech support, we look to exponentially exceed these numbers and have the ability to compound upon experiences, using NFTs as access points before, during and after the festival, throughout the year.
Socials have been well received with interest validated throughout the community. It is a matter of being able to properly service the community and give the tools to build and navigate a web3 ecosystem of their own. We just need consistent support to build upon and build out the community
