1- Do you prefer a preset amount for each card? or would you like to charge it up to your liking?
Preset amount (although there will be the issue of "price fluctuations" since the gift card would be pre-made [for a shop]).2- Would you prefer a complete online order (even if it costs you slight privacy? specially when paying non-crypto like PP) or would you prefer to complete the deal at a shop with cash in hand and no personal info required?
At a shop.3- If you answered 2 with completing at a shop, would you consider being a local distributor? why? and what would you expect in return?
Honestly "NO". BTCitcoin isn't that known on where I am and it will take a long time before I'll be able to sell everything (location is vital for this, especially when ROI is at stake).ftp://
4- Would you plan on buying larger quantities? continuous supply? or you just buy couple cards on special occasions and forget the service for the rest of the year? as this can affect the way to get local distributor.
Few cards for special occasions and whenever the need arises (small amounts for personal use).5- Would you trust me/us/company to have the private keys in order to make things a bit easier at your end? or would you prefer spending extra couple minutes at your end to complete the deal without me/us/company having any way of touching the money in the card? note that this choice will affect the ability to recover the funds in case the card is lost, at the expense of storing some of your personal info, so this isn't for everyone.
If it's just a small amount (something that I would give as a gift to someone), then the 1st option would be fine but if it's for larger amounts or for my own personal usage, then I'll go with the 2nd option.Take note: Everyone behind the company should be well known or somehow get verified.
I think it's possible to implement both solutions. Also, how would you define a well-known or verified people? I can put up my linkedIn, and contact info if necessary, but since I'm just your everyday Joe, there won't be any person who knows my name.
6- Do you have expected shape/size/dimensions for the card? it might end up a bit larger than normal cards, but will make sure the space is well used.
If it fits a normal wallet, that would be nice.
it'll be a bit hard to put everything in small size card and leave a space for the design, will have to manage to do it somehow.Its a great marketing strategy towards cryptocurrency and if this idea be implemented soon, I have one specific suggestion. Start making a field survey that is concentrated in your area that has crypto enthusiast that can try this product. If this be planned and executed securely I dont think the community wont support it but the problem would be the competition in time this goes viral. So take all those advice as a guide but always do what you thing would work.
Well, if I do a field survey in my area, I'll just quit crypto, no one here uses it, and the mind set of people will take ages to change (they don't trust online money at all). I'm more targeting people around the globe, and willing to partner with local distributors to reduce shipping fees.As you said, time is really essential in this, I'm pretty sure many potential competitors are thinking and planning right now, but taking the initiative is risky that's why most people are staying low, the first one to take risk -if he was successful- tons of competitors will show up immediately.
