Important results from the project
The purpose of the project was to test different marketing channels to collect data and to be able to market us smarter in the next step, to use capital effectively through low conversion costs for new users. In addition, this data should be used to strengthen the possibility of raising further capital, to continue to market the platform and to contribute to another Swedish startup taking market shares internationally.
Expected long term effects
The result of the tests has enabled us to adjust the target group and include more men. Bubotree has found a variety of influencers / bloggers focusing on travel with a target group interested in travel planning. In addition, we have been able to discard the cooperations that didn´t generate new users, even though the conditions looked good before. PR including a market survey has generated articles about Bubotree and increased brand awareness and SEO for the platform. Various steps of campaigns on FB and instagram have generated very good numbers in the form of link clicks and new users.
