Subject: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: Mirage [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:26:20 07/31/01 Tue Simon from NZ games writes to me: "reimburse me for plane flights to attend and cover the event, and I'll give you the whole shebang - banners on the front page, banners on the gaming forums, feature articles on the front page, with republication available to gamer.net.nz" If we can come though with the airticket can I advertise the major sponsors on the banner? yup, but keep it to 468x60 Ok guys - 12 weeks worth of heavy advertising on NZgames is going to cost about NZ$500 plus one free ticket to Simon from NZgames. I want your opinions. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I say no, dont do it... waste of $ we can give him free entry, thats all.. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: Mirage [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:50:02 08/01/01 Wed hmm...I disagree guys. I believe that you guys are underestimating the value of total splash across nzgames.com. We will get about 200 signups from that. And also a journalist to writeup about the event and hype it up with photos etc. Even the sponsors get advertised on their site! He isnt being greedy, he just wants to be there. Do you blame him?

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: FB [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:15:49 08/02/01 Thu haha nah I dont blame him ;) but making us pay for it seems kinda gay but I spose if thats what it takes *grumble* [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: Ard Righ [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:42:29 08/03/01 Fri Nah, fuck Simon. The cunt wants to leech an airfare for doing fuck all. Nobody else has been given airfares to the event. Fuck, if they want to do coverage, they can send someone who is IN NZ ALREADY. Fuck flying him from Australia for the sake of a simple banner. Do you really think that posting one banner is going to be that great a deal ? I don't. Not on NZG anyway. The people who are going to talk about it will talk about it all over the NZG forums. If they go and delete threads from the forums because we didn't pay Simon the airfare money, shows how truly sad they are. This event can make the newspapers and the TV without any help from Simon with his "VIP" treatment. Fuck my '30 people CPL qualifier' in Auckland got interest from the newspapers and TV, for free. Like someone said, ReBirth never paid for the coverage, so what's the deal with this event ? Sounds like they're trying it on. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: swat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:59:12 08/03/01 Fri im w/ ard righ.... i think we can give a ticket but... im really not sure we have the budget for airfares.... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: FB [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:45:23 08/03/01 Fri Yeah, EXACTLY my sentiments Ard-Righ.. I just didnt say it like that ;) And worst come to worse, we can still reach 99% of NZGames regulars simply by posting a FREE thread on their discuss board, and we can have a web link / sponsor info there.. I think simon thinks too highly of himself (as does chiq) we can do without him, if HE wants to come to OUR event, HE can fsking pay.. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: swat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:05:56 08/04/01 Sat mirage, perhaps you want to mail him and see if theres anyway of him sweetening the deal for us???? ard righ is correct in assuming that someone from NZ could cover the event???

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: FB [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:11:10 08/04/01 Sat Im sure theres more prominant people we can pay $500 to cover the event and advertise it. I really dont think its necessary to pay NZGames / Simon why should he get such a sweet deal. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: Mirage [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:11:53 08/06/01 Mon HmmmMmm...I'll email him but I think that we shouldn't discount the value of his site. I rekon 300 people would click across on his banner and buy ticketek tickets. Thats about $15,000 worth of sales for the cost of $500 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Advertising on NZgames.com Author: swat [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:54:07 08/07/01 Tue can he offer us some garentee??? we ask ppl who they found out bout this event... 300+ pll say yes we pay, less tahn 300 we pay on way, he pays other....?? dunno, its just a thought...
