Evolving Go-To-Market Strategy

From SaaS Tool to Trust-Based Marketplace

1. Initial SaaS Tools for Event Organizers

Objective: Provide event organizers, particularly local governments and cultural centers, with free tools to manage their events.

Execution: Offer a suite of tools that streamline event scheduling, booking, and management. Begin with key partnerships, such as municipal governments and cultural institutions, to establish an early user base.

Outcome: Affihub establishes itself as an indispensable tool for event management, offering a 10x improvement in efficiency for organizers.

2. Introduction of Creator and Community Pages

Objective: Enhance user trust and transparency by showcasing the organizers and the communities behind each event or session.

Execution: Each event is tied to a public profile, whether that’s a creator or a cultural organization. These profiles not only host session details but also provide credibility, showing the user exactly who is behind the event.

Outcome: The integration of profiles creates an ecosystem where trust and accountability are enhanced, encouraging users to engage more confidently with the platform.

3. Expansion Towards a Directory of Events

Objective: Transform Affihub into a go-to directory for discovering events and experiences in specific areas, starting with San Pedro.

Execution: Aggregate and centralize events across different sectors (cultural, educational, recreational) into one easy-to-navigate platform. Users can browse based on categories, locations, or interests.

Outcome: Affihub becomes synonymous with event discovery, giving users an extensive view of what’s happening around them while driving engagement and interaction.

4. Transition to Payment Integration

Objective: Enable Affihub to capture value by facilitating transactions for workshops, multi-day sessions, and other paid events.

Execution: Integrate secure payment gateways, allowing creators and organizations to offer paid sessions directly through Affihub, starting with workshops and educational content.

Outcome: This adds a monetization layer for both users and creators, creating a marketplace dynamic and opening new revenue streams for the platform.

5. Evolving into a Marketplace

Objective: Gradually evolve from a directory into a full marketplace where users not only discover, but interact, transact, and collaborate.

Execution: Start by facilitating connections between users and event organizers, and expand into areas like:

• Peer-to-Peer Sessions: Individuals offering personal tutoring, consulting, therapy, coaching, and specialized workshops.
• Collaboration: Enable creators to collaborate on events and share resources, developing joint sessions or multi-day events.

Outcome: Affihub becomes a versatile marketplace where users engage in a wide range of services and sessions, from personal consultations to collaborative workshops, fostering rich interactions and transactions.

6. Future Vision: A Marketplace of Collaborators and Creators

Objective: Evolve into a fully interactive marketplace where creators can collaborate, transact, and build lasting connections.

Execution: Build out features that enable users to create joint projects, co-host events, and integrate social networking elements to strengthen collaboration.

Outcome: Affihub becomes a multifaceted platform where users not only discover events but engage in meaningful collaborations, driving continued growth and user retention.
