ADVERT - HT staff please read

[dedalos]

Don't know about advertising but if I was HT, I would let Pyro do the BBS postings  

[storch]

The military channel is a great source of older former military guys who want to shoot down cartoon opponents.  most likely they can also afford $14.95 indefinitely.

i really think it would be wasting money. i do appreciate that a few of the american players found out about ah on the military channel, but it is my belief that most who are into this wont want to play a pc game:(

instead, i think u should be aiming the ad at a wider audience. i personally found the game on gamerevolution.com, and didnt even realise it was online!!! people who play ah were into pc games before, and therefore, i really think the ad should be aimed at a gamer audience.

showing it to historian wont get as big a turnout i dont think. can i get pyro ir hitechs thoughts on this please??

Of course you know, don't you, that with the audience you're talking about attracting you're going to further devolve the maturity level and intelligence of the MA, in general. Bunch o' 14 y.o. newbs who's vocabulary is comprised mostly of four-letter words, and won't progress past HOing, and dive-bombing buffs.

Ahh yes!

But their money is green!

Yeah, I think HT's right on target. The last thing the game needs is a influx of kiddos.
We have some now and for the most part they are well behaved and fun to fly with, but ya get too many and the nature of the game would change.

It's very likely that we'll expand our advertising into other areas,   If we go with ads on a computer gaming show for example, we'd probably want a different style of commercial.

If you wanted to advertise one way to go would be to approach the various air museums and ask if you could be sponsor with a view to handing out a brochure or be added to their brochure.....

Should have said for the Uk - but the market is so tiny here that  and with say 95% of their proposed customer base in the USA that Tv/Web advertising aiming at that base would be most cost effective.

ok, some good points made. this is what the bbs is about. its obvious that ht and pyro have thought about it in more detail than i, and have plans for later, so i gracefully accept defeat

thanks for feedback anyway htc guys, that was cool.

sorry ht, i didnt mean to just poke around like that, and shoulda really thought it over first:rolleyes:

anyway, my offer still stands, if u send me stuff to print out, i'll happily do some free advertising over here.

anyway, thankyou all

There is so much hypocrisy in that statement I am not even going to touch it.
