Need help with advert.

If the wording is simple and to the point, ppl will notice ads. Something like:

New members wanted to join Profit-N-Pleasure
for regular team hunts.

Register at a society terminal or contact us at ....

It's also a good idea to use large text on a plain background because if the text is too small and the background is full of colours/shades, the ad will be difficult to read.

 

If I recall correctly only landowners can use the ad screens! I could have got that wrong or it could have changed but worth checking before you spend a lot of time coming up with an ad. Assuming you are not a landowner of course :).

 

aslong as you have at least an apartment is the criteria for using adscreens ;)

 

Yes I'd say it's important that the ad can easily be read from a distance, or even in some cases backwards!
Also, if you miss a slide, there is still the information required on subsequent slides, such as the 'call to action' i.e. where to contact you. Would that be eu-chronicle.com? LOL talk about self-promotion

 

Thx ;) Consider that 30 seconds is more than enough time to get ppl's attention - and if the message doesn't have too many lines in it, you may not need more than one slide. As your idea and my idea says almost the same thing, you wouldn't need both anyway.
This way the entire ad will only cost 30 PED which if I remember correctly, is the minimum you have to pay. If you have more than one slide, it will cost you more, and there is a big possibility that ppl will not 'wait around' for a second and third slide.
Keeping the background the same for multiple slides will tell ppl that it's still the same ad...

 

I tried creating one and it won't let me as only estate owners can create adverts. I only rent :(.

 

Well I've always wanted hair :).

 

This is puzzling... How do you mean by 'rent'? An 'estate owner' also includes ppl that have appartments, so as long as you have one of these you should be able to create an ad... If you still have problems, PM me with the details and I'll try and help...:)

 

MA got back to me. Saying I need to have the deed in my inventory in order for this to work and they were right :).

So an advert has been placed for the Easter Canley game. Hope it gets a few in.
