7. HOW WE ARE DOING IT
A successful marketplace requires a seamless
transactional process, with people and products to fill it.
So we’ve developed the perfect way to populate the site
BEFORE it launches while refining our transaction engine.
1. We launched a video igniting a fire to
join the revolution.
• 500 users and 3000 video views within 7
days before marketing push began.
2. We launched a contest to be entered to
win the new Beats By Dre Headphones
by sharing the link to TradeYa on
Facebook.
• 2650 users signed up in the first 7 days
• 7000 video views
• 1200 shares on Facebook
7
8. THEN:
3. We launched TradeYa Spotlight
• One item offered by a thought-leader, celebrity,
brand, or TradeYa user in exchange for something they
want from their community.
• Builds inventory in 2 ways
• When users make offers, those offers become
“haves” in their profile, thereby increasing
inventory
• The item that they make the offer on becomes a Presto!
“want,” also increasing inventory Thousands of
• Builds user base
• Thought-leader, celebrity or brand promotes their users have
offer to their user-base
• Social spreading

• Active engagement site with people
• So far we have:
• 3000 users actively engaged
and
• Over 1% of our users have made an offer or inventory
submit to be in the spotlight BEFORE we

marketplace.
AND THEN… 8
9. …LET THE MATCHING BEGIN
Jared Lisa
Has: Surfboard Has: Logo Design
Wants: Logo Design Wants: Surfboard
Once we’ve hit 10,000 users we introduce the MAGIC OF
MATCHING
• Based on the profiles users are building
we begin to suggest direct matches.
10. LAUNCH FULL MARKETPLACE
Awesome user experience!
DAY 1 we will have approximately 10,000 users ALREADY signed up
DAY 1 we will have inventory for people to trade
DAY 1 the site is working offering VALUE to users

11. Other trading sites have failed to generate successful
trades at scale, because they've failed to take the work
out of trading.
Our core value propositions will make trading easy and
streamlined, making TradeYa the market leader.
We Keep Money Out Of It
COMPETITION • Trade ONLY - no buying and selling. Once people
start thinking about money they’re using a different
It’s not about being first part of the brain than that which is used in assessing
a fair trade and their propensity to trade decreases.
– it’s about being best! • Value is individualized based on personal need and
#1
preference.
Social Experience
• We are focused on people, not just stuff.
• We build community by connecting USERS and
those connections create accountability and safe
trading.
• Trading makes people feel good!
Matching Magic
• The site works for you even when you’re not on it -
it’s MAGIC!
Focus on Incredible User Experience
• TradeYa will be a place users want to spend their
time – not just a utility.
• Clean look, intuitive and easy to use!
And we have the top tier talent to
execute it…
