My name is Andy, and I am helping out with the marketing efforts of BuzzerBeater. We at BB have decided to increase our efforts to be more active in some of our national forums. I have been assigned to be the Portugal BB liaison to your community.
I’ve created this thread to better communicate with you as an official BB liaison to the Portuguese community, and I will try to check and respond to it often. Unfortunately only speak English so I will be posting and reading only English postings. Hopefully this will not hinder our communication with one another. I would eventually like to get a native Portuguese liaison to work with more closely in the future.
My goals for the community are as follows:
- Build the community: Increased presence on outside forums, or communications with local media (newspapers, magazines, etc.). One member arranged a deal with an outside Basketball Forum. He arranged a banner exchange and increased membership within that community by over 500 members in one week! The bigger the community the better your playing experience.
- Potential marketing partnerships with local Portuguese companies (Sponsor Advertisements, Prize donations, etc.) We can work out a commission payment for any ad revenue found by any member. This revenue will be used to improve the overall BB experience, and will enable us to add more features, and get rid of any non-relevant advertisements from our banner ad network.
- Get ideas and feedback from its members (Any ideas to help us improve the BB experience for you would be appreciated).
Thanks for your help with this. I would love to see the see the Portuguese community grow to be one of our core groups (Top 3) on BB. Right now we are number 5.
Post here if you have any comments or ideas.
