Game Discussion / Re: Advertising techniques
« on: January 06, 2013, 08:17:48 pm »
I go between 1 & 2 for it depends what I'm advertising for. If its just a random flourite rp (which I join when I don't want to rp serisously) then I use method 2. If it is for a mapped rp then I lean more towards 1. Here are some examples.
When using method 1:
Ad requirments-
-literate
-long-term
-realistic
-active
-mapped/forum
-what type of char we could he looking for
-any rp sample
-extra info
Outcome(lets say its for a mapped Warriors rp):
Join .:ExampleClan:.! We are a literate, long-term, realistic, active warriors rp with a great map and forum! ExampleClan is currently looking for apprentices and queens, but will take anyone wanting to join! If your interested come see Leaderstar at the cape portal or whisper MadeUpUsername99! Rp sample required
Reflection:
Now this method usually attracts a decent amount of people, though if not posted at the right time it could be lost in all the other ads in general. So I usually find when using this method I have to wait for the mob of ads to pass by before I send mine. Also, even if posted at a quiet time, the ad can quickly get lost, and therefor people usualky only get to read up to the location to join. That's why I often ask characters who arrive if they want to join my rp. But this method doesn't have all downsides and extra work. It also looks very professional to people looking for a nice rp, and it usually attracts good rpers if worded right.
When using method 2:
Ad requirments-
-semi-literate
-not mapped
-realistic
-any extra info
Outcome (same warrior cat rp):
I WANT YOU TO JOIN EXAMPLE CLAN! Are you semi-literate? Are you realistic? And are you looking for a warrior cats clan? Then come meet the esteemed Leaderstar at the SB or whisper MadeUpUsername99 to join! You get a cookie if you do :3
Reflection:
When using this method different out comes result from it. Usually a fair amount of people join and know which clan to go to, so no asking is needed. And since the ad is usually easy to read, timing of the ad doesn't need to be a problem. It also make your ad unique so even if it gets swept off the chat fast people would be commenting 'LOL nice ad ExampleClan" and things like that. But that is only if there is one or two other clans advertising. If there are many clans sending out ads, a short ad would not be noticed, and very few members will join
Now with the last method I don't have a lot to say. Since I don't usually do it, I can only give my experience from a receiving end of veiw. Personally I never click on the movies unless the publisher is consistent and not spamming. But I usually just block movies to start out with, so movies don't work on me.
Hope this helps or whatever XD
