  2. That is indeed the practice we do not condone or appreciate, a person who clicked through Ads-O-Matic will receive a one-time message. It won't add them into any newsletter subscription(s) or disturb them periodically. We believe into these services the consumer has to opt-in & out. No worries!
  3. That's a plausible concern indeed and I do understand where you're coming from. Just like any other marketing campaign, outside or inside of SL: Ads-O-Matic cannot guarantee the sale. But we do leave the room to wiggle in customer retaining, just like when the Facebook ad is running - it wont guarantee your sales, but it leaves you the ability to retain the leads and convert them into business through, for example, your customer support. If ad is clicked it can invite to group (Through SmartBots integration), send an object, open the URL, or send an IM. Thus, allowing you to retain the individual who clicked your ad. To put it simply, we can guarantee your ad will be seen, we can guarantee it will be clicked. But sadly, we cannot, just like no other marketing tool or service can - close the sale deal for you. That is up to your business efforts.
  4. It's one thing to build your business only in LSL, another is to have it backed up more practical languages - through server communications. I'm not intending to debate technological aspects of Ads-O-Matic. I've provided you with enough facts and stats to prove my point. At this point you're simply trying to latch-on-to words. Then you've been wrong the whole time, just like in your business approaches. If you're going to keep debating the fact, at least read what I wrote. Since you keep mentioning textures as in objects in SL - we use different methods of displaying the ad that I already explained. A second rate mobile application with thousands of active users with it's unique functionality, created specifically to help business owners. It's a specific product for specific audience, true - it may not be as versatile in graphics, but it's has been intended for the way it is. For those seeking to access SL quickly and operate their business areas easily, with 24/7 online time opposed to time-consumption of accessing a standard SL viewer for a task that requires 2 seconds, it's only progressing further. I've results, facts and actual projects I've been practicing with to back my claims up, based on real experience. So far I have not seen you arguing against my points with any plausible arguments, other than personal sarcasm and little bit of LSL understanding. In the market where we operate since 2009, we are the biggest. That's not a claim, that's a fact easily researchable. I'm not intending to waste my time proving that here. I'm pretty sure I seem suspicious individually to you, to which I've no concern for to be honest. It was your decision to latch-on to specific item list and argue against it. On which I've explained their effectiveness above that you cannot seem to grasp. Is it suspicious to have budgetary (Residential areas) and high-end location (High traffic) choices for Advertisers? Congratulations, you got me then. In any case, Toodladoo.
  5. We understand the concern, but Ads-O-Matic takes a strategic approach to ad placement. We carefully choose high-traffic locations where residents naturally gather. Our goal is to ensure that your ads receive maximum visibility and engagement. Plus, our boards are designed to stand out and capture attention, even in busy areas. Our boards are noticeable, big and placed strategically where traffic is flowing. Since you cannot seem to understand the technical aspect of how our adboards work - think of a small camera built into our AdBoards, that can track avatar movement and their visibility range, or their cameras flying around - (that is what AdsOMatic is using) That loads the ad x2 times faster than the whole parcel for the avatar. These adboards are once again, strategically placed in the spots where people usually gather. Clubs, Clothing Stores, Hangout locations, etc. People will see the ad and the adboard will know that. You raise a valid point about visibility. That's precisely why Ads-O-Matic uses advanced metrics to measure both traffic and click-through rates. We take into account factors like draw distance and texture loading to ensure that your ads are seen by the right audience at the right time. It's all about delivering effective advertising in the unique environment of Second Life. We know how Second Life works in advertisement, we've been on this market since 2009 (Including myself), we've worked with projects such as MetaBizList and Earn2Life, two of the biggest traffic & business advertising and L$ earning program with thousands of active users and consumers. and we're aware how Second Life works with objects, we work with Second Life rendering and object creations through SpeedLight (A mobile SL viewer for business owners in SL, also used by thousands) where we develop our own 3D View. Our boards are light-weight (1prim in count) and it displays the ad through the callouts, which is effectively faster than through-the-object. Every other adboard and networking system as we know it, are located at the spots nobody indeed looks at, they are heavy and take a lot of time to load & react. To address your sarcastic approach towards "Noobs" specifically and how you don't seem to see them as potential business - I will tell you my personal case, to explain how incorrect you are. Since as your post is progressing, you seem to be developing sarcastic to me personally, so you don't have to read it if you'd like - others may find it as an interesting point. Everyone starts off as a noob, for me, specifically - my very first SL search query was "Earn L$" (By the way, according to our SL search studies, this is still one of the very active search queries), its where I found Earn2Life. Which was a money-making program for people that for people that couldn't/wouldn't transfer their Real Life funds to a virtual platform they just discovered (Or maybe because of their economical state) - "Noobs", as you seem to call them. I started playing games of Earn2Life, earning the L$ - just like these people in "Noob pits" of Crystal Craze do. But here's a big question, if I cannot withdraw these funds, that I earned from Earn2Life (Or people that are "Noobs" at the "pits") because I'm a noob that with no payment info attached, where would I take this money? The answer is that my funds stay in Second Life. And while you do not consider them as business because by your unresearched odds, they don't have funds - the businesses and brands that do see them as business, will attract their attention and funds they do have available. Everyone has balance and funds in Second Life, those that do not - rarely get on Second Life in a first place, freebies are never enough, we all know that. A person with active balance has to consume - that's how we are psychologically modeled as human beings in the era of consumers. If you know anything about business then you must also be aware that individual approach to each of your consumer is the most successful method. If you stereotype my balance because of no payment info attached. Then you just lost me as your potential customer. There are ways to earn L$ in Second Life, people actively look for it. There-fore, it doesn't mean that people without payment info cannot bring you business. So I am sorry to say that you are, and have been, definitely very wrong in how you envision potential profit. I am currently the Lead Executive Manager at several biggest projects of Second Life (I mentioned them above). I manage my own RL company which is related to micro-transactions and how effective they are. With over thousands of active users. I've been doing this for 10+ years, please do not question my experience and expertise both externally or internally of SL. As mentioned above, our boards are available at many different locations - not just the "Noob pits". AdBoards are graded by their visibility and click-through-rates (A to F). We give the advertiser all the tools to understand by how much they will increase their brands awareness. Should that be budgetary of fully pedal-to-the-metal marketing. I've added a screenshot of the metrics with 400 views of the ad in one day. If that's a "laughable metric" - Hmm... You're recommending on this post to aspiring business owners to restrain their business tactics all to manual work, which is essentially what you will have to do without a bot these days. I am sorry to say but at this point I am quite sure who understands advertising better in the two of us. Actually, on the opposite. You're spreading the false successful message here. Business in Second Life that think RL are the ones who succeed. CasperTech, CrystalCraze, Lindo, SmartBots, SpeedLight. The projects with tens-of-thousands active users have. All adapted their services externally from SL-while-in-SL. Ads-O-Matic is also the same concept - its a tool to advertise your products with real results and metrics. Businesses that allow controlling their services through external means, are always the ones to succeed. It's SL thinking businesses that fail. I mean, you don't have to believe me - but the results of these projects using the very same idea you seem to neglect, speak for themselves. Thank you for your attention.
  6. I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if I understood correctly - then there's no difference whatsoever if the attracted audience spent any RL money on SL or not. The currency is L$ with potential to post-process credit. Let's say, as an example, our AdBoard at high-traffic location is displaying clothing advertisement. All of these avatars dress, right? So the clothing advertisement interests them, they purchase the clothing product. The designer receives the funds and now, they can withdraw them out of Second Life regardless if their audience have payment infos attached on file. Logically, as long as there's a human being behind an avatar and they see the advertisement - that is successful advertising. So while Ads-O-Matic cannot guarantee sales of your brand/product, we guarantee the awareness of your brand/product to actual human avatars. That is the ideal principle of branding and how consumers/costumers choose your business over others - branding. Our AdBoards are available at every content rating locations (General, Moderate, Adult): Clubs, hangouts, residential areas, etc. Giving you the option to choose who to target. In reality, you choose who to target.
  7. Hello Stephanie, I'm the Head of Project at Ads-O-Matic and I would be happy to argue the point. We're working with different Second Life advertising projects (Earn2Life, Slbiz2life, MetaBizList, etc) since 2009 and we've found that: Advertisers often seek creative ways to engage residents because traditional pay-per-click models used on the web may not fully apply here. Ads-O-Matic has been designed to align with the Second Life environment, offering a more effective and immersive advertising solution. For example, here's one of our AdBoards located within the range of central visibility of Crystal Haze (Unique traffic increase game, generating genuine traffic) Adaptation to User Behavior: While it's true that some residents might not engage with ad boards in the same way they interact with web-based ads, Ads-O-Matic utilizes an innovative approach to ensure that the ads placed on these boards are seen by residents who have a genuine interest, we work closely and intuitively with locations hosting our boards. The platform leverages various metrics, including traffic grades and click-through rates, to provide advertisers with valuable insights and ensure they get the most out of their advertising efforts. When our AdBoard is placed, it actively monitors following data: Active residents (Mouse/Look-At-Point movement/General movement) around the board's visibility range Residents that gather around the board (Not the names, only total number) Estimate of clicks it will generate Based on this data, the price is generated to the advertisers for weekly purchase. Within the first week of the relaunch, we've gained 100+ available boards for purchase at high-traffic locations. Enhanced Visibility: Ads-O-Matic ensures high visibility for ads by strategically placing boards in high-traffic areas within Second Life. This means that ads are displayed where residents naturally gather, increasing the chances of engagement. Real Results: Despite the differences between Second Life and traditional web-based advertising, Ads-O-Matic has a proven track record of delivering real results for advertisers. The platform's pay-per-click model may work differently, but it's designed to provide tangible benefits by connecting advertisers with their target audience in a virtual world.

  15. Hello, I'd still like to answer your question and recommend a few things. Based on your product's price-list, you're missing out on an important marketing aspect, preferred digit in the pricing are not attractive to customers, try to use something like L$ 49, 126, 239, etc - you get the drill. This is a known fact in sales, I'd go with this first. Secondly, descriptions of your products, you've a problem here, here's the description of your most expensive one: "This smart outfit is just the thing for the professional office worker. Get ahead in this classic grey pinstripe skirt suit!" This simply does not tell me what should I expect, what the purchase will be containing - which by a glance, simply comes off not trustworthy. Nowadays, a lot of vendors like to talk about their product(s) with big lines and non-stop descriptions about how their purchase policy works, at what conditions they will re-deliver an item to you, what special tools their product contains (resizers, HUD, etc) who to contact, with which avatars this will work, where to visit them in-world, etc. - not like I personally read them, but seeing these big lines of information, simply makes me trust the seller more. Pictures, don't be lazy to take pictures - this advertises you and your creation in the first place. Vendors also nowadays like to put their promotional pictures along with every product they have, such as their logos, mottos and so on. Since you're stepping into a big empire of clothing and aimed to a most difficult market of entire Second Life, you should address this issues on a first-hand, as you are in for a long journey, good luck.
