SOS: NEED 70 Initial Users in 7 Days

[Dillon_Whittier]

Hi guys,

I'm co-founding a company called Comp'd and we're currently in the final leg of an accelerator program right now. Our demo day is one week from today and we got our product out later than we would have liked. Long story short we need to get 70 new/initial users within the next 7 days or we're screwed. I'm asking anyone and everyone I possibly can for help. If you have any advice on specific things that I can be doing to make this goal happen, please share, I'll take any and every idea I can get.

Some background on the product:

-The product is a $25/mo subscription for unlimited concert tickets. We're also offering users their first month for $10 for easier onboarding. Also, we have the economics of this worked out, so those aren't a concern from a business perspective.

-website at compdapp.com if you want to take a look.

-Currently only available in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska (though neither is a traditional "big" city like New York or Chicago, they're still cities with populations of 250,000-450,000 with thriving/busy downtown districts).

-We've got about $7,000 in capital right now and are willing to spend what we need to.

If you have any other questions just let me know, otherwise I'd really appreciate your ideas on how I should be spending my time to get users. This is an emergency situation and I'm willing to do whatever I have to to make this happen. Thanks guys!

P.S. I know everyone's primary focus here is obviously online marketing, but we're all still marketers here, and if you have offline marketing ideas I'm more than open to hearing those as well, particularly if they can offer a quick or instant turnaround.

For 70.  The best way is simply to get on the street and go one on one. Hire a bouncy promotional model and I would think have it wrapped up in one day.  Target the right locations.

Everything else is too risky, or make too long to go through an agency.

Business to business is the starting point for most start-up's - you look like no exception...  good luck and go get them.
