What is Smart Marketing Token (SMT)?

Marketing became an integrated part of any business and consumer existence and we are used to commercials, endorsements, spreading the word about a brand, product, services, etc. But what role does marketing play in successful projects or product development and overall happiness of the market? How does marketing help reach the highest level of project accomplishment in the digital currency and blockchain world?

To understand the mechanics behind the success of the product, one needs to acknowledge that marketing covers areas such as public relations, sales promotion, advertising, social media presence, pricing, distribution, and many other functions. As companies need to take under consideration their employees, stakeholders as well as society, marketing serves a purpose of communicating, delivering, and creating value to consumers and end-users. Marketing then becomes a tactic, a set of processes and institutions, whose main focus is to provide customer satisfaction with the highest value for society at large. With digital currencies and blockchain on the horizon, the Smart Marketing Token (SMT) serves such a purpose for the Student Coin as well as other Ethereum-based coins. The problem with the crypto market is the fact that the marketing aspect is centralized and tied to companies with large financial budgets and other resources which is hard to compete with.

Smart Marketing Token (SMT) is the first tokenized marketing agency that wants to decentralize. SMT ICO is still available at the STC Wallet Launchpad. The purpose of it is to serve as a bridge between the agency’s services and clients, leading to an effective marketing strategy and supporting new ideas. Projects will need to buy SMT directly from supported exchange and transfer it to the SMT services platform to access advertising and marketing services.

Smart Marketing Token Features

Fixed fee promotion: SMT provides a flexible marketing structure for projects that perform ICO, IDO, and IEO. There are no initial fees, and projects are billed based on a fixed fee commission from generated net profit from events (IDO, ICO, IEO). SMT also provides marketing promotion for all ICO launchpads listed on the Student Coin Terminal at a service charge of 3-5% of the total net profit raised from the ICO within the STC ecosystem.

Governance and Voting: Every quarter, the SMT participants will be given an extra ability with their SMTs to vote and support the projects that they like the most and think they have the biggest capitalization opportunity on the market. The project that gets the most votes will be promoted by SMT. The more SMT tokens you hold, the stronger your voting power in the community will be.

Staking: Smart Marketing Token intends to introduce a staking and buyback program. SMT holders will be able to stake their tokens for a fixed percentage reward yearly. SMT token buyback will be done using part of funds raised from B2B clients and redistributed to SMT token stakers.

Educational platform: SMT is a platform that seeks to spread marketing information from experts and will build an educational marketing platform. The educational platform will be available to only SMT holders who can access content on tips and tricks from marketing experts. The platform will promote and encourage knowledge-sharing aspects for all SMT holders, gather the newest solutions and will allow the community to exchange thoughts, info and technologies.

SMT Services platform: Smart Marketing Token will build a platform that will allow projects to purchase marketing services automatically. Once a marketing service is purchased, SMT freelancers will perform tasks and provide a fast turnaround time for clients.

Student Coin – SMT Partner

Student Coin and SmartMarketingToken partnership is to promote projects, collaborations, ideas, fund-raising for new and existing tokens with their underlying projects, issued through STC Terminal, and on top of that it eliminates the hurdle when dealing with the ICO, IDO, and IEO.

Let’s say we have Adam, who is a geeky IT person with a great idea of writing code that will allow any HR team to find the best-fit candidate for any position in any industry. He speaks the ‘HR’ language, so he knows the HR buzzwords. Therefore, he wrote a code that created a great AI tool to help significantly reduce the time taken to find the ideal candidates. He really wants to capitalize on his idea but doesn’t want to sell himself short. He also cares about his intellectual property. We have a solution for him. He can easily sell this idea to the STC community and issue tokens as a form of funding, combined with marketing. Getting the Smart Marketing Tokens would boost his exposure to the market and allow people to learn about his code with the goal of creating a team. He would be able to raise funds and get marketing solutions right with SMT and Student Coin through the launchpad. He can later share his knowledge and experience on our Student Coin Educational platform.

SMT will be giving marketing boosts to tokens created on STC Terminal. The service will be most probably billed based on the commission from the net profit. This service will be charged around 3-4% of the total net profit raised in funding through STC Ecosystem.
