PATRON: a platform where you get the most out of social networks and everyone wins.
Introduction and problems
Social Networks have made a revolution as means of communication and publicity in modern times. Its potential has already exploded, no one can deny that direct interaction between people is changing in the world of advertising and marketing.
What started as a means of personal interaction between friends and acquaintances, became a monster with long tentacles that can reach everyone. Companies and their marketing departments know this and have had to make use of social networks to promote their brands and products.
There is a small problem with the use of social networks for promotion and advertising by companies, is that people in social networks interact many more with people of flesh and blood, and not so much with brands and companies. Although some large companies have thousands of followers, the interaction with users is very low, most are based on waiting for official notices, or complaints and claims for a bad product or service.
Then, the Influentes appear, people of flesh and blood who, through their way of being and their daily life, attract attention and even admiration from the community. The companies choose to sponsor these influencers, and give them their products with the intention of awakening the interest of the community in general for that product that uses the person they admire so much. Some companies hire these influencers exclusively to promote their brand.
However, it is difficult for a company to know exactly who to sponsor, such as determining if the followers of an influencer is the most convenient public to promote their products or services. In the same way, an influencer may have reservations before questioning his reputation before his audience and followers, for promoting a product of dubious quality.
To facilitate and help, this interaction between companies, influencers and followers. Created PATRON.
