Reps Involved

FunTime- Why not?

  • Concept of MozBooth-

Awareness reach is the first criteria to promote something. Hence, planned a MozBooth in few shopping malls in Hyderabad where all the day fun events are conducted which includes few quiz questions about the Web, about Mozilla and OpenSource Communities. Secondly the chances of getting into media with such events is also high. Hence Mozilla on media ;-)

  • Metrics:
  1. Awareness Reach- 100%
  2. A minimum of 1000-2000 people/day gets to know what Mozilla is.
  3. Media Reach
