Problem

Each year i visit a drupalcamp or CON i meet the same people, all just as nice and great but all got to be one year older.

This is unhealthy for our community, if we don't chage this we'll be unsignificant in 5 to 10 years.

Remix from DA

Phase 1: Update Drupal's brand and strategic messaging to connect with new
decision makers and influencers
Phase 2: Provide sales and marketing materials that everyone can use
(and translate!)
Phase 3: Coordinate PR campaigns
Phase 4: Create "marketing campaigns in a box" to support localized
ad and industry event marketing
This fundraising campaign will support Phase 1 & 2.

Marketing 101

  • “Just” communication
  • Telling others who you are and what you do
  • “I’m Floris. I like cooking”
  • Not Sales
Example:
  • 10,000 people aware
  • 1,000 interested
  • 100 deciding what to do
  • 10 acting now

CRM integration

{
    "type": "LivechatOfflineMessage",
    "sentAt": "2017-04-23T07:20:53.867Z",
    "visitor": {
        "name": "name from the form",
        "email": "info@my-email.tld"
    },
    "message": "message from the form"
}

Tweaking the Funnels

CRM?

CrmCore, AgileCRM, Erpal etc.
All are too basic or overcomplicated.
Currently there is only 2 open source options:
SuiteCRM (open source fork of Sugar)
CiviCRM (used by DA, double database)
Marketers have to report on progress.
We have to teach them to use issueQ!
Find out their KPIs and improve.
Make reporting intuitive and easy
(don’t just connect Google Analytics and walk away)
You have the valuable insights to make this community grow again.
