We will not have any money to spend on advertising and market research. If any, we will have some money for travels and events (but not before we have a legal entity set up). We have to find our marketing budget in several specific resources we can have for free: - brain (we have to outsmart the competition) - volunteer work (we can achieve wonders with our enthusiasm) - willingness to cooperate (we can achieve wonders as a team) - positive attitude (we cannot give up, never) - empathy with media (we are the nice guys to help) - learning from mistakes (we will make many of them) - learning from positive experiences (we have had many in the past) Our experience in Italy shows that a 10 Million Euro yearly marketing budget (Microsoft Italy) cannot win against these assets. -- Italo Vignoli - The Document Foundation E-mail: italo.vign...@documentfoundation.org Mobile +39.348.5653829 - VoIP: +39.02.320621813 Skype: italovignoli - GTalk: italo.vign...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org<marketing%2bh...@libreoffice.org> List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity *** -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/marketing/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
