I think such a promotional campaign for the dApps is definitely possible. If you can sell for example Actifit in the mainstream world - that would absolutely be doable. Apps like that are hot, and are probably the best way to get more people from outside on the Steem blockchain.
If you can get a professional to make and distribute the ads for it, i think people will be standing in line to download it.
Note: for a marketing campaign to be successful, it needs to be done by people who know what they are doing, professionals, like i already said.
The problem is that this will cost a lot of money
I agree with you Mike, I have worked in a film studio, been in production for the last 20 years and so I have a little bit of knowledge about booking air time and a few aspects of marketing from that. I also attained marketing education from working in many different sales and marketing meetings the last 2 decades for many fortune 500 companies. There is a reason I started the stem-ads account, I don't have the lot of money required yet I have the marketing experience.
It's really reassuring to read your reply above. Because I believe it can be done, but it's gotta be right the first chance. After all, we're going to promote something most people are unknown with it, or are opposite it (because ghey know nothing about it). If they slam.the door in your face, they won't be giving you a second chance.
Thag's why I'm gladd you say you know your stuff. Getting the money to fund something is always possible, getting the right peole for the job is often a lot more complicated.
Can't wait to see how this wil further develop
Thank you, I hope we can arrange enough support that when I launch @steem-ads it can post 1 time a day updating current status of campaigns launched, future campaign goals and thank sponsors etc. The support level getting enormous is what I hope for so we employ a Digital Marketing Director to be pumping out STEEMIT ads, always be on the various platforms answering questions and ensuring the RSS feeds are posting on all platforms, giving steemians content to share and more. I imagine I will have to prove my marketing skills and get this message in front of enough support before launching the official post and initiative. So before launch it is my hope I can announce the launch date and have those that care talk about it with their big friends so maybe together we can make Steemit grow exponentially faster in active members and value simultaneously.
That would be awesome. Big plans ahead. Must be exciting :0)
I will need help, any interest please share.
Maybe you shoulld stzrt small. I mean, the contest in this post is a way too difficult for the average Steemkan.
It's jusg an idea, but how about starting with a contest in which you ask people to create promo material (banner set, full page ad,radio or tv commercial, social media ads etc)for one of the dApps at a time. My best idea to start off easy would be actifit.
You could also set up a sort of bounty campaign for people whoare spreading the word about the app.
Ifthat seems to work, do the same for Steepshot or Appics. With so many dzily Instagram users, I thinkthere is a mainstream market for it.
But mybest gipwould be: start small and slowly build your way up...

And about the cost a lot of money part I do have plans to get us started on a smaller scale and work our way up as support gains traction.
Wow! Crazy.....
Some days ago @doomsdaychassis shared some images of their car which they made for a racing competition. I don't know why he had a steemit logo on his car. But that similar idea popped up in my mind. I'm a part of formula studen team of my campus in my graduation and I just started working. I thought i can raise some resonable sponsorships for our car and convince our team manager to put a steemit logo on our car. We go to international competitions every year. So it will be a pretty good idea to market steemit in a bunch of talented technical guys from all across the world. If I reach my target of raising 100$ I can probably convince my team. See. This is how it can done. This way Lot of people can use real potential of steemit but also market it in return and this is mutual and works in a pretty good way.

I actually won second place in a contest that @timcliff put on to try and get steemit and steem more exposure. I hope he sees this mention because an international competition would be awesome exposure for steemit. I would live to be the first in a trend of racecars pimping a steemit / steem logo. I was very proud to have steemit on our car. It will be there next year also , I can promise you that.
That's amazing. Yeah I went on a vacation and I met a traveller who bacame a very good friend if mine. I have seen his travellig stories on Instagram. They were amazing. Such talented people can make more impact on steemit. I asked him to checkout steemit. He is thrilled by the idea of steemit. Probably he may start writing in steemit too.
And you are already the first guy on seemit to put logo on a race car. Thats really great.I want to be second one. Let's see how it goes.
Of course ,I would love to see the logo once again-:)
I would love to see you get this off the ground. I think it would be in alot of the Dapps interest to use the delegation function to send small portions to a marketing fund. A lot of business models (most notably franchise systems) work like that, and you could look at it as the Dapps are the franchisee's of STEEM and a pooled marketing fund would benefit all.
The hardest part is cutting through with a short concise advert. The STEEM ecosystem is quite complex, designing ads that will bring people in can be done, but keeping newcomers is much harder.
#dynamicmarketing is a fabulous initiative, and I wish you all the best with it.
If the ads are running, we need to make sure that the people who come in through the ads actually find what they are looking for. Once upon a time, Jerry Banfield did tons of YouTube ads and brought a lot of people in. but they didn't find at all what he promised and walked away.
I am thinking that the ads would be geared to the general public that is not into crypto yet and it would be good to have positive crypto messaging. I am finding that there is a campaign going on to link crypto with shady business. Very subtle - but I see it in print and how the news is presented. So, to counter that would be good and money well spent. To get more people on the platform - not so sure if we are ready for that.
#dynamicincome
Our focus in advertising will be to bring investors to the steem coin not the steemit platform. That will be a focus possibly down the road as SMT & 1 person 1 vote is addressed.
Yes - that makes sense.
Advertising steemit will help spread it faster and bring in more investors. Those that came up with this idea truly want steemit to succeed. #dynamicmarketing
We agree, thank you for your comment
Honestly I have never thought much about this. Excited that I found your account and timcliff. I have brought a few people onto the platform but nothing big. I will be supporting @steem-ads with upvotes for now and hopefully more in the future!!
#dynamicmarketing
Thanks @dosdudes together we can make a difference, ever consider making a commercial by dosdudes for STEEM? We can get you on television & youtube ads in time!
I think this could bes a very interesting concept, as long as the focus is right.
I mean, the years that you could promote SteemIt as a blogging platform where money could be earned are history. Even SteemIt should not be the main focus, but the Steem blockchain and all available dApps. Because those are going to appeal to outsiders a lot more.
If you could for example set up a major promo campaign for SteemMonsters, I think a lot of new people can be attracted to the blockchain.
#dynamicmarketing
Agreed, thanks for the great comment. Steemmonsters and others Dapps can be advertised if The owners that are making money care to help advertise steem.
We are sitting in the most battle tested and fastest blockchain that no one has heard of. Ads and marketing are needed to bring people into the Steem ecosystem. One we have a decent size, network effects will take over,but we need to tell people that it exists!
#dynamicmarketing
Indeed, we hope to get the word out!
Good idea, great start, hope it'll be better for Steem-steemit's future... #dynamicmarketing
Thanks, lets hope the larger investors or @ned even considers helping...
