Have a question about AH commerical
« on: October 22, 2006, 07:42:00 PM »
I remember reading awhile back about Aces High doing their advertisement on the History channel. How come you guys wont target a younger audience and advertise on G4TV instead? Also I believe it would be smarter to have your game advertise on more of a public channel such as fox or cbs or usa network. Does advertising on public channels such as the ones i listed above cost much more money than the history channel?

What the heck is G4TV?

And does that answer part of your question?

I hate to say this but in the businessworld the only thing that counts is the green. And if bringing in more customers even though they are young means a bigger profit, than i'm sure that HTC would do. Its fun for us but for HTC its business. You got to do whatever it takes to bring in more money legally. That's their goal.

I dont know about you all but I love this game and I want this game to be around for a long time. I dont think having a small cult like community would keep this game running. Its nice and all but we need more ppl.

The best audience is the the older guys. They are either happily married and use this as a hobby, or lonely and miserable and use it as an escape. Kids hopefully will grow up and get on with their young lives and forget about it.

The game is doin just fine. :)

The History Channel folks are more likely to subscribe for an extended period than the G4 crowd. It too bad the G4 wanks took over TechTV from Ziff-Davis. Now it's all aimed at the pimply faced juvies still waiting for their 'nads to drop. :rolleyes:

I'd say the most reliable age range would be 30's-40's.....Aces High needs people financially secure, that can pay $15 bucks a month without thinking about it....Not some kid using mommys credit card


and I can gurantee you, that you will never see a commercial for AH on Fox, or CBS...It's just not the target audience...History and Military channel are perfect.  Now the times...not so perfect, but if they ever start airing before 3am, they may just pick up some new folks lol

The young group is also the ones who do not stay around for long. takes to long to learn  the game for them. Want to jump in and kill people right away with out learning how to play first. This is no saying all are like that, we have some good kids on here when you get the Mic away from them.

The only place I have seen the commercials is on the Military CH, formally Discovery Wings.  I do not recall seeing the commercial on any History CH, but I could be wrong.  I do agree that the military ch is probably the best demographic audience to recruit players from, however not everyone is able to get that ch, either by cable companys (like my crappy one) or by the specific package from satellite provider.

The newest commercial (as stated before) is an improvement upon the first IMO.  Still alot more can be done with it.  Stay after it boys.

helbent: We also ran some test adds on the history channel to see what the response rate would be.

We also ran some adds in england to find out what the response rate would be.
