Is advertising on other sims worth it?

[Battosai Kutenai]

hello,

I am about to open a store and I am new to this.

So as the title says, I am wondering if it is worth it to advertise for your main store on other sims.

Thank you in advance, Battosai Kutenai

As opposed to advertising only on your own sim?

Might be better to rent a small market stall than an ad board. It doesn't have to cost more, it's much more visible and you may even sell an item or two there every now and then.

You need to consider, who will see the ad, and are they potential customers? You might find a sim that is full of people fishing, or picking up coins off the ground or some such thing, and see an ad board and think, wow look at all these people who can see this ad. But those people are working very hard to scrape together a few lindens, If you are selling clothing items that start at 199L, it is a good chance none of those people are going to buy from you.

There are a few outfits like Metabiz that have Grid wide ad boards. I've had some moderate success with them in the past. You sign up, fund your account and submit your graphics. But don't count on a flood of visitors. In general even if you have the most eye catching ad and compelling offer ever, 99.9 % of folk will ignore it. Correction, they won't even notice it 'cause hardly anyone ever reads anything in SL even when you push a sign in front of their nose and have it carried around after them like a faithful pup. What Chinrey said is good advice.
