A Press Release from Speedychatz. Social Networking Malaysia.
After being highlighted over an online verbal communication as to "promote" our "brand", We feel that there is a need to express our genuine possibilities of this so called "promotion".
A promotion is a tactic induced to increase sales of commodities/products or services. The idea of promotions is to push people to buy a particular item or service for the profiteering of the so called "brand" .
An introduction to Speedychatz. Social Networking Malaysia
Speedychatz began as a project to unite the city of Ipoh. The main concern of the city was that people genuinely were lonely and had very small circles. How do we increase that? By building a platform that would allow anyone to discuss/chat. A platform where when you go up to a person, It's ok to introduce your name and talk about yourself. A Platform that would encourage people to build relationships rather than to stay at home and watch TV. A platform that builds excitement in every persons life.
As we conduct the networking event, we decided to take it one step further into a continuity to build relationships outside of the sponsored venue. What we do is that after a series of games, we give out tickets to parties, concerts, orchestral, movie or any form of events/workshops. So as a gathering of 10 - 12 people or more, they would be able to go out and have a good time.
That is our """Promotion""". We promote the Idea that Everyone can have a good time. This is not like one of the 20 websites from across the internet who "promoted" their business by giving out tickets to all those who buy 5 jugs of beers or more. We bought tickets for Community Building. We expect nothing from anyone.
There is no money in Speedychatz.
We are purely a relationship project aiming to unite the country and all its states. An individual sponsored us these tickets for prizes. As we only had given out 4 tickets at our last group party, we had a spare of 4 tickets left. However we had no need to sell the tickets for money, so we decided to give it out to anyone who was Creative/Crazy enough to want them. It was fun. Again, you don't have to buy any beers or jugs of alcohol to be able to have these passes.
We give them to you if you are Creative because,
- We have 4 extra party zone tickets
- We didn't know what to do with them tickets.
- We LOVE Crazy People.
Why not just give them away?
Therefore here's what we’d like to say.
To be promotional, we
1) need to be a business
2) need to have an ulterior motive
3) need to make money from this venture.
We have applied nothing of that sort to our venture. This is a Community Building Project for Everyone to go out and have a good time. And over time, as we move towards the End of the year, we'll expand out to all the states, and Everyone will be able to mix, mingle and enjoy Malaysia for what it holds and truly is.
Why? Cause that's what life is all about! Living, Connecting and Experiencing everything our world has to offer before Death tears us apart. The Contest to search for Creatives will continue. And as planned, we shall announce its winners tomorrow at 12pm, 17th January 2013. Winners will be contacted in their inbox.
#Sekian.
