AGD needs some Feedback on this Ad

[AGD]

Everyone,

It is late and I am thinking up stuff to put in the two page add we have in PB2xtremes magazine. I was thinking about something simple and came up with this. Let me know what you think and if you have any more people or posts to add to it. If you don't like it sugest another idea for an add.

Bravo Tom...You have some keen marketing skills! I love it!

[Thordic]

Its Major Damage who says ENDO

Its Jeff Bouquio, no T

Other than that, its ok. Personally, if you are trying to hype big names in a magazine, people don't care who "Rice Rocket" and "Graycie" are, but they do care who Manny, Amy, Bill Mills, etc, are. Some might even care who Simon is ;-)

Its 6:21AM, I just work up, I have to turn the contrast way down or I can't even look at the monitor, so I can't really come up with some better marketing text, but if you'd like, I'll drop you some ideas tommorow in this thread.

I may mostly write hype for people who build sewerage treatment plants (well, mostly), but hey, like one of the engineers once told me "Sludge is what puts food on your table and money in your pocket". Hype is hype

and get

great pictures of emags and stuff, with warp in the background

Looks good to me, I'd add something about "Tom's Tech Tips"

[Dave]

I am liking it a lot. There should be some emphasis on the scientific aspect of it, like the tech tips, like Rifleman said. Also, don't forget "Rob_AGD, who can answer any question about your mag and then some"

It would be good to also add that there is the Tech forum and the Classifieds and Friendly corner like:

Looking to meet a friend or two? Come check out our friendly corner.

You need sound tech information for your mag? Talk to the AGD techs in the Tech Forum

Need to find special part for your mag? Try looking in the Classifieds


Something like that would be helpful.

Also, try to emphasize the non-mag atmosphere as well...as you said you won't find 'dissing other guns or people'

You have to give guys with cockers and other guns a reason to check this place out, so it would be good to keep that in mind...if you decide to do a two page layout...try putting a huge tricked out mag in the main area, and then maybe a cocker or an angel in another part of it so people who own other guns than mags can feel free to come and visit.

I definitely like the idea!

Dave: This toolkit is the coolest ever seen *rotfl*

Looking to meet a friend or two? Come check out our friendly corner.

that sounds like a personals ad. maybe something like "want to talk about things besides agd, check out the friendly corner"

You need sound tech information for your mag? Talk to the AGD techs in the Tech Forum

also add in warp feeds and flatlines


another thing you can add is "find out what tom's got on the workbench, agd news and contests,etc..."

[mrhooie]

AGD, aka Tom Kaye Airgun president and amateur photographer/star gazer (1000 posts and counting)


I think that fits well


I like it Tom, you'd be the first to really promote a web based message board

[Wheelman]

ooh ooh I know

You could take everybodys nicknames on the site and incorperate them into the background of the ad. (okay I'm just looking for ways to get my name in a magazine)

Here is a quick concept writeup:

Mag owners, feel like you can't get the help you need from
pro shops?

Players, ever wonder what the deal was with AutoMags?

Have you ever been curious about that funky-looking Warp Feed?

And just what the hell is that new Angel-looking Mag?

Spacing crapped out between Dreamweaver and the boards, but you get the idea. Its just a short writeup, took like 5 min.

If one of the mods or someone with better HTML skills/more time on thier hands than I do wants to make that fit better, I'll delete the original post, it is kinda longish looking

... how come i'm not listed? I thought I was an integral part of the AO team. I represent the slackers and teams that don't win tournaments, after all.

[gimp]

How about you put pictures of the fantasy-emags in the background. Have it so that you only see them when you look close.
