Advertising: Ideas to help Graal
|
My ideas are getting buried in the Lifetime Classic thread, so I'll start a few new ones.
Advertising
Purpose: to draw new traffic to Graal (which means new people to give money to the Server Upkeep Fund)
Options: Myriad - we can go with Google Ads, old fashioned banner ads on webcomics, I'm sure there are services that offer Popups and Popunders still. Magazine ads aren't cheap, so if Unixmad's gonna buy one it should be well placed. Radio and TV ads are freaking expensive, I don't forsee that Ever happening.
Requires: Money, the ad itself
We've reached the point in Graal's lifecycle where the current playerbase can't keep the servers afloat anymore - we need a transfusion of new blood. This means we're going to need newbies, and newbies that are willing to shell out the money to upgrade.
Where do we find them?
How do we attract them?
I don't know. You guys might. Any thoughts?
Google Ads are the favorite from what I've seen.
I know Dave from Bobandgeorge.com sells ads, and they're fairly reasonably priced.
Regardless of whether or not we should be worrying about this now (please limit such opinions to the poll), anyone got a killer ad campaign idea? Preferably someone of the "And here's the animated gif" variety? Though an awesome script for an ad could still be progress...something besides Fung Si Yan dropping a bomb in front of a baddy...(though I kinda miss that intro) |
