We started using social media for our local.  Just a way to get PR rolling.  Someone already said it, the more you use it, the more it gets used.  Didn't take us long to get some posts over 10K views.

It's definitely a snowball affect.  We mainly post to instagram because from there you can automatically hit all 3.  Maybe some squad or country pages to garner some interest?  The more players you can get involved through social media, the more it will spread.  I've been out of this game for quite a while.  When I quit playing 15ish years ago, the main arenas were huge.  In the last couple of months since I've been back, the most I've seen online at one time is a little over 100.

I'm abit of a Facebool aficionado. With my company we spend about $50k a year in ads.

Facebook is about 35 years an older, though if you blast an ad on Facebook it will automatically get blasted to Instagram. The great thing about that, youth use Instagram, our age use Facebook. I remember a few years ago someone did a survey and the average age of our cartoon crew was in the mid-40s. I bet Facebook is a great tool for us.

HiTech, I'm happy to small talk anything and everything I know about advertising on Facebook. Just let me know.

For $1,000 we can get in front of 120,000 users. Great exposure.

From my point of view regarding Facebook and Aces High...

I could never understand why people/players went and made an unofficial Aces High 3 group (which I think is public for the most part, please correct me if I'm wrong) which actually should have never been done...

It gets all the attention, to where everything on that Facebook group/page should have been using HiTech's official Aces High Facebook from the get go...

YMMV

The unofficial FB page is where all the PNGers go to squeak about this forum and the game. Yaknow, the players/former players that couldn't even behave within the AHBB norms (and that actually kinda says a lot). Most of them probably don't know Skuzzy retired (not that that would earn them grace).

I'd love to see more activity on the official AHFB but, being realistic, Hitech and co. works a slow and steady process with a skeleton crew so we'll never see 'new plane/vehicle/ship of the month' (or year) and that's really what people would go to it to see. Of course, if the event crew went there more often to post about the various events, including post-op debriefings (equivalent activity to this forum) then it might inspire more activity from not only active players but curious FB browsers.

The main problem isn't reaching people.
It's making them subscribe, so that the cost is being recovered.

When AH launched on steam, there were tens of thousands of downloads. Many of them because it was recommened to them because of them playing 'similar' games.
Almost nobody subscribed.
Even the best advertising doesn't help much  if the product doesn't appeal to the customer. AH, at least in it's current form, is not the game the world just has been waiting for and does not know it already exists.

  Just curious, Does anyone know did WOP get much traction as it seems to be more of the quick combat for those with short attention spans?  :headscratch:

You are largely correct.

I'd like to expand on what you said, but it's not worth the grief, no one would listen, and it wouldn't make any difference.   :D

FYI:  WOP = World of Planes was the original name of the re-branding "War Thunder" and while it was still called WOP, it was in direct competition with WOWP....they renamed WOP to War Thunder, a short time after the open to the public beta then going live...iirc...... I was there and selected as 1 of the 1st 10 closed alpha testers not including the WOP staff (game builders).....
