VU Advertisement
19:26:50 Sep 12th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

-

i just got the go ahead, i’m not banned from paid advertising anymore on facebook

I’m going to do a video advertisement for VU

On 7-8th of January

I will spend a 1 off payment of £50-£100 on advertising

then,

£5-£7 a week for a year

£5-£7 should get 2 people interested a day & the odd “burst”


19:29:48 Sep 12th 22 - HorusPanic (Mr. Bill Gates):

I'd chip in once you put it up


20:23:34 Sep 12th 22 - heroix (Conqueror Obliterator):

For £1 it's probably gonna be like 100 people visiting VU a day, and maybe 1 signing up. But I'd like to see the stats of how it actually goes after few weeks.


20:41:22 Sep 12th 22 - Matthew (Chief Barnyyyy):

I will promote the game to an audience of 100.

It should get 0-3 people interested.


23:37:31 Sep 12th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

Awesome Panic, I’ll let you know when it’s up


For £1 I reach something like between 100-200 people a day & 0-3 clicks average


23:38:39 Sep 12th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

I will also be targeting 18-25 or 30 year old gamers


23:45:31 Sep 12th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

I’ll target UK, Texas, Sweden & a few other states in America.


Any recommended places in America known for “middle class gamers”?

Any known European gaming countries?

Greece used to be popular for gaming cafe’s but they all closed down & I don’t know if gamers survived?


23:46:02 Sep 12th 22 - Phat (Grand Moff Darkwing Duck):

does the middle class still exist?


00:00:48 Sep 13th 22 - Matthew (Mr. Xeta):

the middle class still exists but barely


14:45:31 Sep 12th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

Any recommended places in America known for “middle class gamers”?

Oregon Idaho (same thing) Texas Colarado (same thing) and MICHIGAN along with Iowa

tl;dr you already know

Target Texas.

DO NOT FORGET ABOUT MICHIGAN, IT HAS MORE MIDDLE CLASS THAN ANYONE REALIZES!

Specifically aim for Austin if and avoid Houston if possible.


04:00:41 Sep 13th 22 - Konstant (The Ancient Areion):

With such a low number of views per day it is much better to highly tailor an ad to one group of people in one place.

I would recommend Amsterdam, aged 30 years old.

Why? Surprisingly, a significant part of our playerbase (at least 10% from what I gather) is from the Netherlands.

This makes sense. As the Netherlands is a highly developed economy, with excellent digital intelligence, and speaks English at an extremely high/fluent rate.

30 years old because I would gather that most VU players today are between the ages of 28 - 32. This makes sense as this style of gameplay was at its height ~10-12 years ago.

Texas/Austin is an off choice, as the culture in Texas is generally non-progressive. Yes, Austin is considered a liberal city, but I assure you that Texas' values still infiltrate heavily. I would avoid the Midwest entirely.

In the US, the best choice would be the East Coast - from the mid-Atlantic through to the Northeast. Specifically? I would target Alexandria, VA.

You're not looking simply for "middle class gamers", but rather a very specific sub-set. The type of people who would have had ready and easy access to the internet in the late 2000s and early 2010s as teens. You also need to make sure that the population is tech savvy and progressive (so that their parents would have adopted the internet earlier).

lol ouch Konstant


07:56:31 Sep 13th 22 - Matthew (Chief Barnyyyy):

Konstant is right on this one and I appreciate all the effort Hanky and Konstant have put into this

08:01:23 Sep 13th 22 - Mr. Nifengle:

get rid of the text crap "oh you dont have to be active to be good" put a picture up of some warring or something... fark as soon as you open the page and see that crap u instantly think its garbage.. no wonder not many sign up.. you need to make the visuals at least interesting..


11:15:24 Sep 13th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

Awesome, okay I’ll start with UK, Austin Texas, Netherlands & Amsterdam area, Alexandria & search out East Coast



11:21:12 Sep 13th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

Oh & promise not to laugh at how amateur & terrible the advertising will be😂


11:26:02 Sep 13th 22 - Konstant (The Ancient Areion):

You're putting money where your mouth is - not sure anyone has any "right" to laugh at anything.


(Unless it's supposed to be funny =P)


11:59:53 Sep 13th 22 - Mr. Greensmoker Cyrone:


I think you won't get nearly anyone coming from Facebook no matter where you target it. Your best bet is advertising in Discord communities of games with a similar genre. Maybe the Civ game discord? Dominions is similar to this game. You could try another browser game that's similar. The Sterlaris Discord or something. Those types of players are interested in this genre of game, which is a niche genre. I think it would probably have more weight if you did it a way that was more personal though rather than it looking like a forced advertisement. Another reason I dislike facebook is there are ads for all these pay to win games that are only there to take your money even though they say "free to play"... which a lot of people on facebook will think this game is. Try the communities you're apart of that aren't this game and give a sincere suggestion for others to try it.

That's incredibly low reach. Your CPC is like £0.5, which is also insanely high. There must be ways to improve this ad or audience. I'd actually start with a broad audience and see the stats after few weeks and tailor it then. But maybe the ad itself is quite not catchy.

Any known European gaming countries?
We had unproportionately (to a population) high Lithuanian numbers in VU. 


19:24:11 Sep 13th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

Yeah I remember some Lithuanian players


I will start broad & make a few specialised adverts

Can’t really afford more than £1 a day for first year but off time I will make maybe 3 £1 a day specific  adverts

I’m releasing philosophy video’s & will bulk on them

But

After I release my Rap battles the page will have grown & so will my income

I will be able to spend hundreds on advertising us eventually

But for first year & £1 a day & 1 person trying the game a day I think is a great start & we will hopefully notice more players in vu after maybe 6 months


19:28:05 Sep 13th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

I will also specifically target strategy & Fortnite fans maybe roleplaying fans


19:58:44 Sep 13th 22 - Prophet Hanky Panky:

https://ibb.co/gFDW3Jg


that is the result of £1 a day for 2 days

it’s not terrible at all


01:37:10 Sep 14th 22 - Matthew (Chief Barnyyyy):

I will continue trying to promote the game to a small audience of 100 every day until we get more players as well

I liked Cyrus's post here too.

How can we advertise the game to people who like games of this genre?


13:30:32 Jan 3rd 23 - Prophet Hanky:

Things haven’t gone to plan


I released my first video Christmas Day 

But

Have no views yet

I name dropped VU

& told people to Google

I will “rise” this year

Just not as immediate as expected

I always lose my mind around Christmas & New year😂



15:20:16 Jan 3rd 23 - HorusPanic (Mr. Hate):
