I want to understand why this is good marketing and who has moved from Paypal to Wepay. The services are very different, Wepay seems to cater to a tiny percentage of American Paypal users, it's like Hackernews competing with Reddit. Can anyone clarify if this is a legitimate "move to Wepay from paypal!" thing or if it's just a way to get attention, not necessarily customers?
i think this was more about getting press and making people aware of wepay's existence. most people who fit into their niche are likely not aware of them.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think their niche overlaps too much with paypal customers. So why would they market themselves as a direct competitor to paypal? Why would they, given this premise, advertise to paypal customers at all?
If you read the whole story you will get the impression they are paypal competitors - that is, unless you visit their website and read comments here. You will find out they are nothing like paypal and they won't replace it.
There's been a lot of negative opinions about paypal coming from this very community but, in my opinion, if they position themselves as paypal competitor a lot of people will be disappointed in their offering right now.
Do you think it's a good way to market themselves? Or should they focus on their core audience via other channels? Or maybe paypal customers are indeed wepay's customers in the making?
