Bitcoin can address the cash flow problems that many marketing agencies face. One of the challenges every business face is cash flow, and marketing agencies are not immune to it. Bitcoin is the solution. It has some financial benefits and less tangible advantages. The company who accepts the payment can either use a third-party to convert the Bitcoins into cash or withdraw it in the form of Bitcoins. Getting started is super easy. There are plenty of companies help businesses that want to get Bitcoin set up as a payment option.

Blockchain technology applications in various industries

The novel technology called blockchain is making waves and is the new change on the horizon. Although it is already in the financial world, the uses of blockchain technology are far more wide-reaching. It is shaking up many sectors along with all industries including supply chain, corporate responsibility, fashion designing, and digital advertising.

Supply chain sector

The problem that large food companies face is trust issue because their customers are skeptical of many things such as where their food comes from and the factory conditions. It is the job of the marketer to build trust to be able to sell the product successfully. And transparency about the product is the quickest and the surest way to gain that trust. For example, Walmart used a strategy to bring a certain level of transparency in their logistics and supply chain. They enabled their customers to track digitally from where the products came. The goal was to boost the trust of Walmart consumers in their products. This strategy of storing products through blockchain makes room for transparency and prevents tampering. Some services such as Metamask and Keybase already offer the user control of their transaction history and identity.

Corporate responsibility sector

Sustainable practice is something that customers used to take on the organization’s word. Regarding such initiatives as corporate social responsibility, there used to be no accountability. Blockchain can generate digitized agreements, wherein the company is then held accountable by making these promises public.

Fashion designing sector

Innovative ideas are coming through in the fashion industry using blockchain. Shanghai-based Vechain is authenticating fashion products and providing a background of the items using blockchain technology. At Shanghai Fashion Week, Babyghost provided a link between the fashion and digital worlds. The customers can verify if a particular fashion item is genuine or not by scanning the tag using blockchain, and even see where it came from as well as who had previously modeled it. Verification of the authenticity of the products can be traceable from the point of origin. This feel to each product allows the customer to create a unique connection with the item. Thus blockchain can tap into authentic advertising without being seen as marketing. The possibilities are endless for those marketers innovative enough to jump on the bandwagon.

Digital advertising sector

The advertising and marketing industry is not only dynamic but also susceptible to change. Intrinsically, it fluidly adapts to the shifting focus of consumers and new technologies. The blockchain comes into this arena by creating more value for ad campaigns. For advertisers and marketers, the future could be different on many fronts and applications. They include permanent contracts with consumers; verification of ad delivery; and handling consumer data transparently. This surge shows how much commotion is happening right now in the digital marketing industry. And it all boils down to an increase in the profit margin and a decrease in extra costs.

Intermediaries made redundant

The middle person plays a significant role in the world of digital advertising and marketing. However, the companies investing are hardly getting even half the value because of the intermediaries involved. The technology of blockchain solves this by proving that users are real, eliminating the need for a mediator for advertising. So, companies can now communicate directly with the site owners when they publish an ad.

New blockchain browser

The Brave browser built on blockchain has ad-blocking software that blocks intrusive ads and trackers. The blockchain browser allows screening of those ads that do not respect people’s privacy. It has introduced the Basic Attention Token, which brings the digital marketing model to a simple framework of users, publishers, and advertisers, without the intermediaries taking a cut. This software can anonymously track the sites that are of interest to a particular target market. Brave creates a win-win situation whereby the advertising agencies can target the ads directly to the end-consumers, and people can choose the level of exposure to these ads and also get paid for it.

Unified customer profile

In marketing, the process of gaining a customer profile comes in dribs from third parties such as Google and Facebook. But the novel way of doing things would provide marketers with an integrated profile of the customer. That way, marketers will have to prove their customer relationship value and find advanced ways to engage with them.

Future of marketing

The way forward is to balance advertising and marketing with consumer identity concerns. In the new era, marketers will have to earn the permission of the customer in a completely different way. So, in the future, the marketer will have to pay the user to see their advertising material. For example, when a company approaches a user to subscribe, the company will be asked to pay the customer a certain price for that info. It would be in crypto payments, which would then go through a cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin branded company

A brand that embraces cutting-edge technology is one that is innovative and edgy, one that other companies might want to copy. It is possible to create a whole strategy around this and gain coverage that will put the company in the middle of conversations and generate intrigue and curiosity around the brand. There is also the opportunity to become a go-to expert by producing informative content around this topic. The way it could work for a business is by first learning how to source Bitcoins, and then deciding whether this is the right fit for the company.

Receiving Bitcoin tokens

To accept Bitcoins, all that is needed is a Bitcoin button at the checkout and a digital wallet. It works like a cycle whereby the publishers and users receive tokens when they view the ads. From there, the users can opt to donate them using blockchain all the while making it reliable and private.

Coming up next:

We are experiencing a significant shift in the real estate industry, as more and more people are engaging in property transactions using Bitcoin. Many industry experts are excited about the potential for digital money and the blockchain technology when it comes to real estate. But although digital currency transaction is the future, industry insiders say that we are not quite there as yet. Digital money analysts are less convinced that the property market would more widely adopt the cryptocurrency.
