Fanzone co-founders Claudio weck and Björn Hesse answering user questions on Discord.

On February 25th the FANZONE co-founders Claudio and Björn got together for what can be considered a classic: another monthly Q&A session with our Discord community. Check the most important topics in this article!

Marketing and Partners

Q: What is in the pipeline regarding the upcoming drops?

Björn: Germany’s former National Team player & World Cup 2014 champion, the iconic defender Per Mertesacker, Handball Bundesliga club Rhein-Neckar Löwen and the basketball team from FC Bayern are the next partners in our list. Another zone is also coming soon: Get ready for our Racing Zone with a first driver from Formula E!

Every Monday in March we’ll celebrate our #MedalMonday honoring all 27 Team D medal winners from the winter games. Next in line is the whole two-men bobsleigh podium:
🥇 Francesco Friedrich / Torsten Margis
🥈 Johannes Lochner / Florian Bauer
🥉 Christoph Hafer / Matthias Sommer

Q: Which advertisement methods are you using?

Björn: Online marketing is our strategical focus. Besides Google Ads and Twitter ads we mainly use Facebook and Instagram ads to target potential NFT enthusiasts and sports fans in Germany and the rest of the world. In the case of our Christian Ehrhoff Co-Creation NFT we specifically tried to reach users in the US and Canada, where Ehrhoff played in the NHL for 14 years.

In February 2022 with FB/IG ads alone we generated more than 10.000 clicks on our landing pages and 5.000 registered users.

Tech & Product

Q: What are the next steps regarding security?

Claudio: We disabled several bots and are now working on a verification process for new users, while at the same time analizing different market behaviors.

Q: How can I get an overview of the cards I published on the market?

Claudio: Right now there isn’t a quick navigation option for this. However, you can always go to CollectMy Cards and select Show only my listings on the filters.

Blockchain migration

Q: What is the current state regarding FANZONE’s blockchain migration?

Claudio: We’re on a good route to deploying our new NFTs implementation on Polygon. They will come together with Universal Profiles — which are the smart contract for holding and showing Token, fully on-chain.

At the moment we’re working on the bridge to deploy, mint and sync from the FANZONE App to the Polygon network. During testing we already created more than 9.000 transactions while deploying more than 400 Cards as NFTs and minting them to the respective user profiles in our testing environment.

Additionally we’re creating a big How-to section for new users.
