Dear Dash Community, we are very excited to introduce you our next proposal for, one of the most succesful merchant adoption programs for Dash so far. We are very happy to keep pushing the Dash adoption in our country, to still be thein terms of merchant adoption and counting with the 80% of the Venezuelan merchants.This is a video where we show a summary of our work during the last 4 months and we also introduce our plans for future.This is an exclusive interview from our CTO, Lorenzo Rey, with the Blockchain news channel "Bloxlive.tv" from Malta. We hope you enjoy it and learn even more about what we are doing for Dash adoption in Venezuela!- 2500 merchants affiliated and accepting Dash.- 1200 follow ups by our QC team to ensure quality.- Within 70-100 tx per day throught our POS.- Over 50 #VenezuelaPaysWithDash videos- Activations points to incentivize transactions (70 tx per day).- Integration of Dash Text into our Dash Merchant POS.- Payment processor for web based merchants.- Support to Krip phones sales (66,000 units sold).- Influencer campaign reach to over 400,000 people. Increased followers up to 200%.- Repeat and scale the "Strategy for Adoption" (we have proved that it is working).- 5000 affiliated merchants by May 2019.- Push consumption to 200 tx per day by May 2019.- Continue follow ups to ensure quality.- 15 video tutorials of "How to accept Dash" so merchants can learn by their own (increase our efficiency).- 200 #VenezuelaPaysWithDash videos.Venezuela is the #1 country in terms of Dash adoption with over 2500 merchants.For us, quality is the most important value, so we set up a QC team who is in charge of doing follow ups to the merchants and check if they have all the information/tools they need to accept Dash. In this way we ensure the quality of our affiliations.Thanks to the "Incentivize consumption" activities we have done, the number of tx in our POS has increased up to 100 tx per day. And this is just throught the POS, out of the system there are more because several merchants prefer to charge directly from their wallets (i.e: kiosks where the owner is always there).This consists in going to the merchant's location with our sales agents and promote Dash from there offering discounts from the store if they pay in Dash. This has helped us to reach up to 70 tx per day in each activation.In this way anyone with a phone can easily pay in any Dash merchant just by typing a code and sending a SMS.Our sales agents supported the sales of the Krip phones in the stores, they taught customers how to redeemed the paper wallets, how to use it and how to buy stuff with Dash. The Krip project has been a total success, in less than 6 months they have sold over 66,000 phones in Venezuela.The influencer campaign we made during October-December 2018 was a total success. We will keep doing this type of campaigns in 2019.We will continue doing the affiliation work and our goal is having 5000 merchants by May 2019, then 10,000 before 2019 ends.We will keep working on the "Incentivizing the consumption" stage of our strategy, doing activation points, discounts, promotion, etc. The most important thing is that people actually use Dash, and that is why this is one of the most important tasks.We need to ensure quality and now even more because we will double the number of merchants, so we need to monitor the activity very closely in order to make adjustments very fast. Quality is key.In this way merchants can be trained by their own with no need of the asistance from our sales agents. This will exponentially increased our efficiency because the content will be able for all the merchants and for free.We wil continue this campaign on Youtube so anyone in the world can see what's going on in Venezuela with Dash and how regular users use Dash for their daily transactions.Thanks so much for reading our proposal, please leave us your comments or questions, we will ve very happy to answer them.Contact info:Web: https://www.dashmerchant.org/ Instagram: dashmerchant. https://www.instagram.com/dashmerchant/?hl=en Twitter: @dashmerchant. https://twitter.com/dashmerchant?lang=en
