Since the last years of the last decade, Social Network Services (SNS) have revolutionized the way people communicate and interact. Through it, they share experiences, emotions and ideas that have been used by marketing management and advertising in companies, to promote and position the products and services of companies and institutions. Prior to the SNS, patronage was a sponsor form of celebrities in traditional media and special events, who joined as ambassadors of a brand or product.

Celebrities are usually born of recognition in their work in the arts, science, politics and social activism in recognized institutions. However, at present, social networks allow people to become a large public thanks to the publications that are published on social networks. It is no longer just the famous rock singer or Hollywood actor that is the subject of a brand of soda; The NBA player or the soccer image The image appears on the advertisements of sports shoes, or the director of a symphony orchestra that promoted an expensive watch Today we can see on social networks men and women who have as many followers as other celebrities on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and other social networks. These people are known as influencers.

In this context, many companies have promoted their products and services on social networks through their own accounts or by hiring celebrities to do so. However, this is not the majority of the time, these promotions are ineffective and inefficient due to a wrong planning of these activities and lack of adequate market research.

This weakness in the marketing management of the companies is visualized by a group of Japanese young people, led by its founder Atsushi Hisatsumi, who propose a business model of sharing economy and based on the Blockchain technology, to identify and correlate influencers with segments of market By products, types of consumers / customers and geographical areas. As well as, the platform serves as an intermediary between the sponsors and agents of influence to achieve agreements and contracts in the promotion of products and services, such as a token that serves as means of payment and reserves value in transactions that can also benefit, inclusive, to their followers.

Patrón, is a new business concept whose mission is to support the market of influential people in the SNS to interact with sponsors of companies under a sharing economy model (such as Airbnb or Uber). This is a concept that is based on a platform based on a chain that tokenizes the value created in the exchange of services.

Currently, there are about 2.5 billion users on social networks (one third of the world's population). It is estimated that about 8 million influencers and microinfluencers could be potential users of PATRON to cover miles of market segments, products, services, geographical areas, lifestyles and various demographic groups (ethnic, age, cultural, gender ... )

Core function of PATRON is:

  1. "Share the SNS delivery framework of the influencer in place. (Pay each time)

  2. "Share an influencer exclusively for several months (monthly payment)".

  3. "Acquire favorite influencers and monopolize (annual contract) In several cases like the previous ones, it is possible to deploy several businesses on the PATRON platform"

There are three different types of users in PATRON. They are the following:

  • Host; or Influencer

  • Guest or Sponsor

  • Fan or follower

Influencers (hosts) can establish contracts with sponsors to ensure a stable income over a long period of time as a brand ambassador. The influencer can only promote the products or services of the sponsor, according to his specifications, if his contract establishes his exclusivity during the period of validity of the contract.

Through the contract, it will be ensured that the Sponsors (Guests) reach a certain number of followers during an agreed time. These followers will be part of a certain market segment or target that the influencer is advertising the product or service. Sponsors may also have the exclusivity of a demographic group for a long period of time if the influencer accepts a one-year contract o more time.

PATRON establishes the criteria to evaluate the participation and suitability of the sponsors and influencers in the platform as guests. The criteria used are the following: For the sponsor or host: financial and agency capacity. For the influencer or Host:

• Number of followers: The number of people available through this user's network.

• Level of commitment: The frequency of engagement between the influencer and his followers.

• Reputation: Opinions or comments from the followers of an influencer.

The operation of the PATRON model is synthesized in the following image.

A lot of useful information here, @yaleal. I am a bit slow for these things, so I am rereading... XD

Thanks for sharing your knowledge ☻

Gracias @marlyncabrera. Este post es de un concurso de artículos sobre plataformas basadas en blockchain. A veces participo en ellos.

Casi no publico por problemas de conexión. Tengo trabajos engavetados por ahí por esta razón. Por cierto, tengo un cuento que no publiqué para un concurso que, si mal no recuerdo, tú patrocinaste algunos meses atrás. Era sobre relatos de espantos de la tradición latinoamericana. Ya me las ingenio para publicarlo mañana. Un abrazo, estimada amiga.

Es una lástima que dejes de publicar por problemas de conexión, @yaleal, sobre todo por tu calidad. Es la realidad de muchos venezolanos (en ocasiones me afecta también).

Espero puedas publicar tu cuento. El concurso fue 1er Concurso de relatos inspirados en mitos y leyendas latinoamericanas; me gustó mucho hacerlo y no falta mucho para que lance una segunda edición. Estaré pendiente; si puedes, me etiquetas y vendré volando. ¡Un abrazo! ☻♥
