2. Angry Kitty is a fun and light-hearted App designed for users
to:
Request or collect money from a group for anything
It keeps a record of who has paid and who still owes
Members who still owe are sent an ‘Angry kitty’ reminder
email
It removes the need to have awkward conversations with
friends about money
Executive Summary
3. There are several startups in the whole area of making payments as a group of people, whether it be for joint
gift purchases (weddings), or even simple things like housemates paying bills etc.
ShareAGift in the UK focuses on joint gift purchases, but is more an affiliate gift sales model. In the US there
is WePay and PayDivvy, both of which err on the side of being deposit account providers. WePay has moved to
being a B2B play, trying to woo small merchants away from PayPal. In France there is Leetchi and
FriendFund in Berlin. Many have substantial backing from VCs.
And several others include Payumi, PayItSquare and Groupay

15. Social Media
Social media goals will be about building relationships and providing value and not over-promoting the Angry
Kitty brand.
We will follow the 80/20 rule, which states that we will post non-promotional content 80% of the time (valuable,
helpful, or personable stuff, or related content linking to another source), and reserve the other 20% for being
more overtly promotional
Will create profiles on the major platforms Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn etc and eventually
narrow it down to the platforms bringing the best returns.
Will create a profile theme on each platform with design and colours that match and enhance the brand.
Content will be repurposed across social media. So will blog about it, tweet it, make a video, share on Facebook,
turn it into an infographic or pinterest, etc.
Will measure with Google Analytics and other tools and key metrics will inform ongoing strategy.
16. SEO
Keyword targeting for keywords such as ‘collect money online’ ‘group payment’ and ‘group pay’
Link building for keywords that have been discovered at the research stage for link building purposes
These keywords will be included in title tags, meta tags, website content, alt tags
Activate webmaster tools and Google analytics tools to track and manage organic and PPC traffic and other
referrals
Continuous on-page and off-page optimisation to maintain organic rankings and discover more keywords to
rank for
