Coinbase: #WeAcceptCrypto
The last few years saw small business hit particularly hard. Coinbase is offering new ways to pay that directly benefit the small business rather than big corporations. Paying directly with crypto currency cuts out bank fees and supports small companies. Small businesses adding this option saw a huge lift in new customers.
#WeAcceptCrypto aimed to get people to shop at their favorite small business and pay with crypto. We created tools for small business to show they accept crypto payments and communications around Small Business Saturday to help spread the word.
Partnering With Small Businesses
To support small businesses we created window stickers and totes and used our own channels to show some love.
Spreading the Word
Then rolled out more communications in a carefully orchestrated attack leading up to Small Business Saturday.
Engagement
This was followed by special animated sticker release for small businesses and customers to use.
