The Bistroo Breakdown : Monthly Progress Report — March 2022

Every month, we publish a monthly update to our token holders and broader community. Welcome to the March 2022 edition. The staking program, advertisement expansion and merchant growth have been the main focus this month.

General Updates

We had a busy month of March wrapping up Q1. We have been working on the BIST Staking Program was released last week along with the Community Token Portal rework.

Here are the main highlights:

• Interim CMO assignment started for optimizing strategy, marketing, and growth.
• Hired a Growth Manager.
• Onboarded 20 new merchants in the Eindhoven region.
• Production of the first version of a video ad is finalized. We are preparing for this in order to advertise on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook stories, etc. These ads have higher conversion rates than static ads.
• Start of a project to reassess our landing pages, SEO pages, tone of voice in our ads and ad optimization.
• Significant progress on all projects related to going ‘borderless’ with the infrastructure and protocol :

— CRM & Customer-Service infrastructure improvements.

— BistrooPay Setup.

— Merchant Portal Update.

Merchant Portal

All of the above takes tremendous work as our goal is to always ship the best versions possible. That being said, we have decided to postpone the launch of the Merchant Portal to Q2. There are some adaptations we need to do in order to maintain the utmost usability and simplicity for our Merchants. It has to be done right.

We ran some feedback and testing sessions with our live merchants who provided valuable insight that we can use. Some adjustments still need to be made to keep the Merchant Portal simple but extensive enough for the merchants to fully self-onboard and operate their stores within the ecosystem.
