OUR SCOPE

We have excelled in positioning the Dash brand in the minds of Venezuelans and positioning our country as the first crypto nation of the world. Despite the difficult market, opening the door to thousands of merchants to accept Dash, reaching millions of users in Venezuela by earning weekly TV/radio interviews and getting in tens of global publications are proof of the real steps we have achieved for the Dash network; and as 2019 begins, we know great things are yet to come, but making Venezuela a Dash nation is now closer to being a reality,  We proved it! 

After a successful balance of achievements for more than a year and a half, we know what is possible to do with the right promotion and education strategies, but we want to achieve  more. We want Dash to become the first choice of Venezuelans as a payment method.

We are close to sealing other big successful alliance with a big box brand organization like Church’s Chicken de Venezuela. Soon we will share great news about adoption from well known companies and organizations of our country.

We are the center of a national movement composed of more than 30 communities in the main and most important states and regions of the country, besides our ongoing work with professional associations, emerging fintech startups, and various actors in the academic field.

We have inspired and advised other enthusiasts in half a dozen potential Latin American communities to replicate our best practices and initiate coordinated actions that promote the growth of the Dash network in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and many more. Our cooperative spirit precedes us, and we will continue to spread the Dash communities as much as we can as we believe in the operation of the DAO and  how it can create tremendous synergies.

We have the potential and knowledge of the community to promote the Dash brand and share the success of our experience through the participation of our team in events inside Venezuela and abroad.

OUR PROPOSAL


1) CREATION OF A VIRTUAL DASH MALL, WITH ONLINE SHOPS FOR VENEZUELAN ENTREPRENEURS, MERCHANTS AND COMPANIES

According to Dash News, Dash-Accepting Merchants in Venezuela Pass 2,500. Read the full article HERE.

This is, unquestionable, a great success, not only for the teams working in Venezuela, but also for all the Dash network. This is a triumph for the Dash DAO!

But we have reached a point where some MNOs are wondering why, despite of the great numbers of merchants accepting Dash in Venezuela, why the transactions count has not gone up proportionally.

Our new strategy is aimed to increase such numbers by helping this entrepreneurs, merchants and companies to increase their sales volume, teaching them how to create their virtual shops.

With each merchant we will:

• Sign confidentiality, alliance and exclusivity contracts.
  
• Educate them through theory-practice workshops to create their own virtual shop.
  
• Provide them with legal, financial, marketing and technical consulting to make their virtual shops successful.
  

At the end of this proposal in May 2019, Dash Venezuela will have developed 1 Virtual Dash Mall and with at least  50 new Dash-accepting online shops. 


2) WORLDWIDE PROMOTION OF VENEZUELAN VIRTUAL SHOPS ACCEPTING DASH

Once the Virtual Dash Mall and the 50 new online shops are created, it will be time to tell the whole world about it! 

So we are doing a massive online marketing campaign to direct traffic to the new virtual shops, and also meetups with our international allies in: 

• Argentina
  
• Brazil
  
• Colombia
  
• Dominican Republic
  
• EEUU
  
• Panama
  
• Spain
  

By the end of this proposal in May 2019, Dash Venezuela will have had 1 Online Marketing Campaign and at least 7 meetups in other countries to learn how to use Dash to make quick and no-cost transfers to any part of the world, and promote the real use of Dash through the virtual shops.


3) WORLD CLASS PR MANAGEMENT

Our PR platform has maintained the permanent exhibition of the Dash brand in all kinds of media. Only in 2018 the spokespersons of Dash Venezuela attended more than 100 interviews, both national and international, including TV + Radio + Press + YouTube, reaching thousands of people. 
Our new proposal includes the development of content that shows the growth of the Dash brand in Venezuela and other countries and generates interest and confidence in its adoption and use; the sponsorship and executive production of new specialized spaces, in addition to the permanent exposure effort.
So, by the end of May 2019, Dash Venezuela will have at least 50 new brand exposure through: interviews, advertisement, sponsorships, among others.


4) OPERATIVE EXPENSES OF THE DASH VENEZUELA HEADQUARTERS

This is the space we use to hold trainings, meetings with clients and strategy development meetings in order to achieve the Dash Community’s goals in our country.
Clients such as large companies and professional associations who are interested in receiving guidance on how to implement real Dash use for the benefit of a large amount of people.


5) WE HONOR OUR COMMITMENTS  

Siaskiboy envisioned our commitment of going on with our work even when the price drop cause that we did not get the funds of our approved proposals. He lent us 200 Dash, and this amazing gesture is what made possible to hold the conferences 10 and 11 of our cycle in 2018, with benefits for the whole Dash Community.

We have been paying him back the last 4 months, and there is still 40 Dash left to pay him. We will complete our payments, although our gratitude to Siaskiboy and other members of the community that have financially supported us will stay forever. THANK YOU! 


6) NEW MERCHANTS, COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS ADOPTING DASH

We will do the job of sales, training and consulting for merchants, companies and organizations with which we will seal strategic alliances to mark new global adoption milestones, such as the one we made happen with Church’s Chicken de Venezuela’s Dash adoption at a franchise level, accepting Dash in its 10 stores.

At the end of this proposal in May 2019, Dash Venezuela will have accomplished the announcement of at least 2 big and important Venezuelan companies or organizations adopting Dash at a national scale.

NOT-CONFIDENTIAL REPORT TO DASH WATCH

We want to thank all the MNOs and Dash Community members for your support that has helped us lead this national and international movement that has build the basis for making of Venezuela the 1st Dash Nation.

In these turbulent times for the country, we believe that pushing forward will only increase adoption for Dash in Venezuela. The fact that our country has an official cryptocurrency and laws are adapting to include this into the hands of people will allow us to work in a less difficult environment from a regulatory perspective. We keep a direct contact with experts and policy makers to ensure the Dash brand stays compliant at all times, this has also allowed us to work closer with exchanges so that we can increase the liquidity in the market, which is something we understand is needed, in order to improve transactions. We are also constantly in contact with other Dash groups of interest, including DCG so that we can find synergies and share best practices, as we know diversity will help us build this Dash ecosystem much faster and more efficiently.

We are confident that you trust in our knowledge, experience, professionalism, transparency and our ability to develop effective alliances and strategies. Together we can achieve mass adoption in Venezuela. We are the faces and hands to execute it, and your support is fundamental. 

Dear MNOs, please read and vote YES for this proposal. Thank you very much!
