Epassporte has shitty markerting.. - GoFuckYourself.com

DatingGold · 05-15-2004, 05:31 PM

Who ever thought of the name Epassporte should be fired. Thats a shitty name. Also the spelling isnt American English..

It looks like they at least registered epassport.com but its not pointing to their site.

I would think that with word of mouth no one would ever guess epassporte.com

bad marketing imo

I spell it wrong all the time.

Also, they should really start a referral program or something like Paypal used to have so we can market it to porn surfers. It would be nice to accespt them as a form of payment at paysites but no one has an account.

Raf1 · 05-15-2004, 05:56 PM

more and more people are getting epassporte accounts, so I think it's only a matter of time before they offer more features.

Would porn surfers really lose their hard-on to sign up?

EviLGuY · 05-15-2004, 07:22 PM

They would if enough sites offered it to pay for memberships and it was marketed to them right..

"Sign up here for an account.. and never have to enter your cc info again."

or something along those lines..

The reach must be huge

Not everyone reads those.

EviLGuY · 05-15-2004, 07:35 PM

Yeah they could use a little better marketing I think.

I think they are just letting us do their marketing for them right now... us webmasters bug the sponsor programs to adopt epassporte for payouts and eventually they do.

Sponsor programs offer it.. more webmasters signup for epassporte.

I'm sure they make a lot more money with corporate clients (like webmaster programs) and adult webmasters using them than with your average everyday surfer using them.

As Paypal goes further down the shitter, more people will make the jump.

if you think the name and domain really matter all that much, you got problems.

Ever hear of Yahoo? Google? Kazaa? Napster?

they're easy to remember. what he's saying is someone might type in epassport.com and when they don't get there forget about it.

you'd have to be pretty dumb to misspell yahoo

Because everyone who searches for a Paypal alternative goes to Yahoo and searches for "Passport" or "Passporte", right?

I doubt www.epassport.com gets more than 3 type-in hits a month.

wuold you ever spell it as passporte? regardless..

I wonder if they started it in the EU that might be why its called epassporte. maybe they'll shed some light. i might be missing something.

dude. it's a brand name. it doesn't have to be the proper spelling. it's already misspelled with the 'e' at the beginning.

ePassporte isn't looking for type-in traffic. it could be spelled with a double 'r' and a triple 's' and it wouldn't change anything.

But word of mouth type-ins would be shit. Someone would say it and they would type in "epassport.com"

Donnie Gangsta · 05-15-2004, 09:35 PM

i think they probably spelled it epassporte to be:

1) cool and chick.. anything 'european' is considered cool in america.. maybe a bit of mystique... oooo i have an an epassporte card.. just like how gucci puts 'made in italy' as part of their actual logo

2) maybe they think the palindromic-ish effect of putting an e on the beginning and the end of the word is cool... also really puts 'e' as in e-commerce in the person's mind a bit more...

they should make it easier to sign up for though.. surfers are pretty dumb.

If they made it like a regular credit card signup and the information from that signup doubled as a registration since it requires most of the same info. epassporte could always follow up with a confirmation email stating that they also needed whatever additional information for the customer to become a member if they so choose.

tony286 · 05-15-2004, 10:21 PM

I think where they dropped the ball if they want to be the paypal of the adult world is advertising in just industry magazines. If epassporte doesnt become more than a payment system for affiliates it wont be long for this earth. To do that you have to advertise to consumers so it builds a name brand.

Jimbo · 05-15-2004, 10:40 PM

do you think you know marketing cause you have a yellow table under your banner in your sig?

Good point, Epassporte have been running for how long? And still not doing decent business, well we get very little payments via them.

there's one good reason why its not being used, nobody though of it

Pornwolf · 05-16-2004, 02:18 AM

I think that will all change over the next few months now that Paypal has completely kicked us to the curb. If only Epassporte would accept payments from surfers as easily as Paypal did.

But wait, that would cut into Epoch's business now wouldn't it. Hmmm...

Kimmykim · 05-17-2004, 08:49 AM

What a thread. I'm calling Carte Blanche up and telling them to shut their doors as well.

I just got back late last night and I'm still catching up on emails and so on, so carry on.

Rand · 05-18-2004, 11:43 AM

Actually, epassport.com *did* point to the site.

Don't know what happened but it will be fixed.

bufferover · 05-18-2004, 11:46 AM

And don't give a care about their name or marketing?? they service is great and that is the most important thing
