Post by: mf-tzo on February 09, 2016, 08:51:23 am: How can we convince them to use bitshares in the backend? I have contacted a similar company and sent them an email to convince them to use bitshares but never got any reply. Apparently I wasn't very convincing or I may have not described correctly what they can do with bitshares

Can someone put 5 lines explaining why they should use bitshares and what are the benefits so people who never heard of bitshares before can easily understand the benefits?

Only in the U.S barter clubs generate more than 12 Billion Dollars a year. As the world's economies get worse (indications are strong) this is going to be a great business model to be based on bitshares . Its not feasible to try to contact each one of them because there are literally thousands of them. Bitshares can either compliment or replace many of these companies. Some marketing efforts are needed . @ccedk might want to prepare a press release on this subject. If he attracts some of their attention you will see a surge in grass root movement and increase in the number of memberships. Imo this could be a tremendous opportunity to present bitshares as a solution.

Yeah there was a thread before about community/local currencies and most of those are set up like a barter network... I was planning to reach out to one in SF, but haven't prioritized it yet. Barter networks are a natural market for UIAs and the Bitshares platform so it's good to have us stay on top of it.
