Aces High Publicity?

To the OP:

HTC still advertises on TV almost the exact same amount as we always have.


ABSOLUTLY NOT TRUE, Small as in number of employes. not Small as in size of player base.

I was at a friends house the other day and he just had basic cable. I like the military channel but some can live without it. Those that have regular basic cable would never see an ad placed there. How bout the Discovery or the History channels?

The issue is that they have not been running the types of shows that show a return on the investment. When history channel was running dog fights, we used them quite often.

So there lies the solution: You gotta produce your own TV show. Heck, just go a step further and create an international TV station, broadcasting in all countries by cable & satellite. Shows and documentaries about WW2 aircombat 24/7, hire some big TV personality names to host them... maybe even creating a movie franchise.
And then you have a place to run your TV ads for Aces High.

It's really that simple. So little investment for such huge return....

What about some UFC fighters? 

Disclaimer: I know nothing about the cost of advertising with them.

 History channel in Canada has been running a show called Air aces,would seem to be an appropiate program to advertise on. Also discovery has Mayday and Mighty planes,while these arent WW2 based they are about aircraft.

and what does UFC fighters have to do with WWII aircraft? People who enjoy UFC don't necessarily enjoy WWII aircraft. On the other hand people who are into radio control airplanes "might" be, so that would be a better place to advertise.

The History Channel is nothing but "Pawn Stars" TV.   

Declining world economy, Iran's nuclear threat, and swarms of locusts... bah.  Kid stuff compared to the scourge that is reality TV.

A booth at a major air show with 4 machines logged into the arena and a big screen connected to one would bring in a lot of subscriptions.

What do any of the Super Bowl commercials have to do with football?

The goal of any advertising is to reach people.  Millions watch UFC events nearly every weekend.

Find the minimum expense for the most exposure...which means reaching more people however possible.

  I like this idea. In fact, the first taste I had of an online flight simulator was at a computer show a very long time ago, where they were showing off different types of games.

My comment was based off of what Hitech said, see the quote below...

So the history channel is no longer targeting the people Hitech feels will give him a good return on his investment. Much like, I'm thinking UFC fighters would either.

Thanks I'll look into the Air Aces, It sounds like it would be a good match.
