In order to gain more traction, GetGlue is obviously going to have to find a way to monetize their service as well as establish and forge their brand deeper into the entertainment realms and fingertips of their demographics. Here's how they can do it.
2. New Niche
Social Entertainment...
Competes with Philo, Tunerfish, Miso
How will they monetize this thing?
3. Focus On 3 Areas
1. User Engagement
2. User Growth
3. Brand Awareness
4. USER ENGAGEMENT
• Monitor user reviews coupled with advocacy email campaigns
• Data point thank you’s to users humanizing the org to the user, further emotional connection
• User surveys via QR Code or PURL on the back of stickers as well as availability via e-mail campaigns
5. DRIVE USER GROWTH
• Identify brand ambassadors (most active users) & ‘dress’ them for the
position
• Contest submission by active users & request address as a part of
submission
• Viral Video in the vein of Wheat Thins : show up at brand ambassador
house with stickers & reward (t-shirt, dvds, books, &/or prizes such as
tickets to premiere in LA / NY, pictures with the film/tv show stars)
• Offer rewards for referrals
• Location based activity is not part of the platform currently, however
unlocking GetGlue ‘eggs’ as part of a check-in at actual filming locals
• Picture submissions via social media are ways to increase the amount of
engaged users - nothing like a tagged photo circulating through a network
6. BRAND AWARENESS
• Goodwill campaigning (community alliances)
• Have a sticker design contest & sponsor an elementary class
attending a film or special tour of the NY Public Library encouraging reading
• Fundamental Advertising
• Leaderboard advertising within mobile platform (Pepsi)
• Print / Online publications with QR to viral video
• Cable then Prime Time (targeted by membership saturation levels)
• Hulu and associated application as well as Amazon
7. BRAND AWARENESS
• Pursue alliance with Redbox
• Tag the kiosks with demographic appropriate stickers
• Set up screens in theater lobbies showing live GetGlue checkin feeds and user
reviews of films (Like Twitter on episodes of ‘Fringe’)
8. Conclusion
Foundation of long-term success and profitability built on 3 areas:
1. User Engagement
2. User Growth
3. Brand Awareness
