@dmitryne i need one T-shirt too . What about delivery to USA?

[zubairansari07]

Hey,

Appreciate the enthusiasm, but I would like to see more clarity about each item which you’ve requested funding for and how it relates to marketing.

@dmitryne

This fund i want to use help me with changing locations , like guild is travel, i want to move activities to other places other cities

To what end? How will funding this assist you in achieving success in marketing?

@dmitryne

I already change location, now i stay in Bhopal. I want start two weeks acityvity here. Lets see what can be happen here, how we can grow in new city. We plan now some instagram adv about NEAR meetup here in Bhopal, and this weekend we can do it. Letsee. Also i plan some music jam, make some video from meetups, flyers i have, may be i need some banner

I’d like to see more details about the events. What is the goal of them? Expected turnout and impact?

@dmitryne

One my friend already travel in Africa. He is traveling with NEAR. And our plan to put NEAR flag to voulcan cilimanjaro. On the way to introduce people NEAR

I find it difficult to see the value in this from a marketing perspective.

That said, if you leveraged those images to produce further content around it and had a plan to publish that content to achieve marketing goals, then it might make sense.

[David_NEAR]

@dmitryne

can i ask u what is by your side main marketing goals for NEAR?

There is no requirement to fulfill NEAR’s marketing goals. That’s not what the MarketingDAO exists to fund, there’s an internal marketing department for that.

I’d generally advise to not consider that, to an extent.,

The goal of the MarketingDAO is to empower you, Guilds, individuals, and projects building on NEAR to achieve your marketing goals.

[David_NEAR]

I’m not trying to get into the semantics of marketing, I just think there needs to be more clarity around each of your items in regards to how they relate to your marketing goals.

• What are you aiming to achieve?
• How does x help you achieve them?
• What metrics are you using to measure the success of x?

[David_NEAR]

And that’s awesome, but define how the ART NEAR WORLD TRAVEL Guild fits into that, then define each of these for your itemised requests:

@David_NEAR

• What are you aiming to achieve?
• How does x help you achieve them?
• What metrics are you using to measure the success of x ?

[dmitryne]

Hop hey la la ley going to be here

[David_NEAR]

Let me give you an example:

@dmitryne

Antony , Africa project, travel with NEAR 100 $

@dmitryne

One my friend already travel in Africa. He is traveling with NEAR. And our plan to put NEAR flag to voulcan cilimanjaro. On the way to introduce people NEAR

Lets see if it interesting, we can work with more other options like NEAR meetups and wallets NFT creation,

Objectively, this is an image of someone with a flag that says ‘NEAR’ on it.

So:

@David_NEAR

• How does funding the cost for someone to take a picture with a NEAR flag help you achieve your goals of onboarding 100 NEAR Wallets?
• What metrics are you using to measure the success of this initiative?

[Dacha]

Wow wow . Hot topic.

Dear @dmitryne may another one way is Ecosystem DAO?

All are welcome there .

Guilds' Tiering System: An evolutionary Path for Community Development

Here you will find a proposal for a tiering system to facilitate the Guilds’ evolution while empowering and allowing for a development and growth path. Situation An increasing number of Guilds are currently supporting our Ecosystem. Unfortunately, due to the growth and demand of the current payout system, the process has become cumbersome and tedious. We consider this a scaling challenge. Rationale To speed up the process while recognizing the valuable contribution of the Guilds, a Tiering s…

@dmitryne

This is direct marketing. Flag NEAR on African peak is advertising and promotion NEAR. May be u don’t agree?

Right now, I’d disagree. Because it’s just a picture on a forum. Have you leveraged it elsewhere?

See:

@dmitryne

but it will can be top photo in National Geographic Magazine tommorow it depends how to use ability.

And after this u can say disagree.

Right, and that’s a great objective to have. However, in your proposal you did not share any of this.

Hence, there was no connection to having a photo of someone with a NEAR flag to a focus on Marketing.

@dmitryne

I feel just like u don’t like to approve this purposal,

That’s not the case. I think you should generally structure proposals like this:

@David_NEAR

Initiative summary, be sure to include:

• Expected impact and value you foresee for the NEAR ecosystem/community
• Metrics for measuring success
• Estimated timeline and achievement milestones

Most of the initiatives you’ve proposed here don’t have this.

@dmitryne

I would like discuss about Marketing with people who like to explore marketing , who like to grow with it.

@David_NEAR

There is no requirement to fulfill NEAR’s marketing goals. That’s not what the MarketingDAO exists to fund, there’s an internal marketing department for that.

I’d generally advise to not consider that, to an extent.,

This logic i don’t understand.

The MarketingDAO is not a decentralised marketing arm for NEAR Foundation or the NEAR Protocol.

So long as you’re building on or around NEAR, then the MarketingDAO exists to fund your marketing initiatives to help you achieve success. If that happens to overlap with what NEAR is focusing on then great. But it’s not a requirement.

[David_NEAR]

@dmitryne

Please can u share which is NEAR marketing focus?

This shouldn’t really be a consideration when you submit a funding request to the MarketingDAO:

[Dacha]

I meant you and your guild have many ways to get funded.

Instead of escalate conflict , I’m suggesting to work with Ecosystem DAO as a guild and use Marketing DAO for some activities.

[Klint]

Don’t see the promotional reach and use-case for this type of project. It’s a no from me.

[so608]

A couple of thoughts:

• There are 13 different projects here with very little details about timeline, team involved, metrics, budget specifics. The MarketingDAO is here to support community projects, but they want to see detailed, clear proposals supported by high-quality content that will help grow the Near community.
• A way to improve this might be to propose 1 project to start so that the MarketingDAO can understand how you work, see what the result is and build confidence and trust in your work.
• In general, I advise the MarketingDAO not to fund projects that include significant operational, non-marketing costs such as lodging/housing, travel expenses, petrol. There are other guilds and DAOs that may be able to support those funding requests.

I am not a voting council member, but if I were, I would vote no on this and hope that you re-submit a proposal for 1 project with details outlined clearly, then report on that activity before submitting the next proposal.
