Ladies take note.

Us gents use this site to find ladies that we would like to spend an hour or two with a companion who would "catch our eye" as they would say. Someone who would seem to market themselves intelligently. When we go onto the "General Forum" Page, ESA has decided that we need to see "Latest Advertiser Promotions" as part of this page as well.

Here we see how most of the ladies market themselves. In my opinion the pitfalls of most marketing strategies are illustrated. We, as punters, do not wish to see the same thing over and over again every five minutes or so.

For instance, one WG started a thread "Hot content showing face promo" on the 6th Oct and has just bumped it 205 times. It has been bumped 12 times today (it is 09h05). The thread is 21 pages long! The same WG has a second thread which is 89 pages long!

She is not the only guilty party

FFS ladies - it is no wonder we gents do not read the "Latest Advertisers Promotions" Page.

Ladies - use it, don't use. But these are words from a wise old punter

@Landy
U are absolutely right

I don't use the advertising forum that often... But thanks for the above.... I too see pages and pages of desperado ads over and over
Eish

Anyways

Blessings for all

Kiss kiss

I take note of this complaint. I try limit my content ads to 1-2 a day. One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I can't majorly change the text as I am advertising the same thing. I try to keep it interesting because marketing is the key to selling any product.

The best way to solve this problem would be for Esa to limit each advertiser to 3 posts a day in the Promotion forum.

Constantly posting new threads of the same thing pushes down all other posts. Advertisers try to stay on the front page by doing so which makes it a bit difficult if you're not a frequent poster because you'll always be on the behind pages which are not seen by people generally scrolling the site. They only see the first page on the index page of ESA.

I will post something now, and in an hour it will be at the bottom of the second page lol

The target is generally not the members of this site, but new gents browsing the internet who stumble upon Esa. They are many.

This is why advertisers wrestle for the front page. To be seen by browsers.

I agree with you Jess

A post every now and then, perhaps one in the morning, midday and late afternoon would be acceptable BUT three minutes apart over a period of 15 minutes is just plain madness.

Speaking for myself - I would stay well away from that WG as I find it just damn irritating

@landy, speaking for myself - I agree with you in general that it can be annoying. Only slightly for me personally, because I just quickly scroll past. But I know when it boils right down to it, it does not affect my likelihood of visiting or not visiting the advertiser.

Just like with any other mainstream marketing campaigns; It doesn't matter whether I see an Old Mutual (just e.g.) advert ad infinitum, it won't make much of a difference whether I buy the product or not.

@Landy

I do understand the frustration with repetition.

I think 3 posts a day would allow every post a little lime light on the front page.

For me personally, permanence is better in the long run. Eventhough I post a few ads, I have my content permanently as part of my bio.
