AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Milk Carton. Goes along with the Got Game = E-Mag backwards thing too! Milk commercials get it? See if you can work that in to the graphic and idea as well.
AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!
#3 May I suggest a silhouette of a WARP equipped mag user peeking around the side of the carton Kilroy style or on another "photo" paperclipped to the paper? That way you keep the humor and emphasize the advantageous silhouette.
Edgy and in your face is what sell these days, that's why I voted for #2. But, #3 is so good that it deserves a consecutive run. I would run them both a couple of pages apart.
The gun is 1/8" of a game that is a FOOT long!

#2 all the way, for the simple reason that Xzion said, you are advertising two at the same time!!! Then, peple will think "Omg, look a the emag, a high performance marker that takes that high performance warp feed." And you will advertise both at once. Instant product recognition: warp feed + e-mag = AGD's innovation and high performance" somehting like that. maybe....
I do like the milk carton though! haha pretty funny
I think some people see the warp feed on a gun like that, wonder what it is, and maybe never see it again...so by seeing that picture, maybe it will bring up a "hey, I remember seeing one of those" and then they can learn more about it. This ad lets people know who is runnin' the show, whether they like it or not. It lets you know that if you see one of these AGD Warp Feeds, you better take a good look at what totally ripped you up on the field. You don't even have to include the "You won't see it on the field" thing, just the "Take a good look before the game" is hardcore enough to let people know they are gonna get torn up if they go against someone with a warp feed. I think this ad is more bold than #3, although I still like #3, I love #2!
I'd say run #2, if you have enought $$ to do another, go with #3.
In addition to your main point, make sure that you list, in bulleted format, the other advantages of the Warp Feed as well. Many people do not consider the lack of hopper hits its greatest advantage, but it will do as the focus of the ad.
Benefits:
1. Positive feeding under the highest rates of fire for bursts of up to 20(?) rounds;
2. Makes shooting out of the left side of a bunker much easier to learn and do;
3. Makes sighting over the barrel possible in many applications.
Include a link to a URL where people can look at pics of installed Warps on a variety of markers, not just Mags. Also write at least a few sentences about each benefit, with illustrations where possible.
Forget Design #1. You'd have to be either a Trekky or a geek to it appreciate it. In addition to being non-descriptive of the benefits, it is also potentially a violation of intellectual property laws.
I think 2 is a more widely acceptable add, remember, we're calling the very people we want to buy warps "losers" in add 3. I do think it's funny, but I think 2 has more potential. Also, add three has 'loser' misspelled as "looser". Unless that's a play-on-words for "playing loose". I think both 2 and three are worthy.
I'd say go with number two, although personally I prefer both of the others.
I think that number 2 is the most direct and will hit the mark even if the slogan isn't understood as intended, because it shows the product and makes it look cool - which is probably most appropriate for the target audience.
