Advertising on RAWK
« on: January 18, 2010, 12:20:17 pm »
I suppose this has been done before, but I can't see a thread so...

Considering how much it must cost to run RAWK have you considered some advertising content? A tasteful (small) banner advert for a RAWK approved product (or even to the official website perhaps) would hardly be noticed by the bulk of posters, take advantage of the huge numbers of posters, help fund the costs of the site, future proof it to some degree and possibly even reward those involved.

What I have seen elsewhere that I thought was good was an Amazon referral link. Anyone wanting to buy something on Amazon clicked through to the site through the referral link and the host was rewarded for their successful advertising. It was worthwhile because it allowed the purchaser express his/her thanks without any real cost to themselves.

There is also the possibility of producing RAWK Tshirts etc and selling them as RAWK merchandise. Some will see it as commercialization (some always will) but others (and I include myself here) would see it as an opportunity to express their thanks to the site and the hard-working mods that make it possible. I often buy tshirts and tops from sites I approve of, because it is the simplistic and most effective means of expressing approval while simultaneously helping the site out.

Well, what I have seen on other sites is amusing quotes from forummers put to tshirts... with an pic alongside or summat.

Imagine, if RAWK sold 10,000 in one year at £10 a pop they could buy a player for the club....

That is the other option of course, money raised goes to the club or goes to charity. Pheeny

The site isn't too expensive to run in terms of cost, hence the donations from kind users sustaining it for so long without any form of advertising.

Personally I'm against advertising of any kind unless it's the last resort. Not sure we're at that point at the moment?

Cheers.

Okay, so maybe advertising isn't favourable (I'm with Bill Hicks there ;) ) but any RAWK-related merchandise? Maybe some imagery from the Art Vandelay thread on t-shirts, or mousemats or mugs.....?

Yer, I'd go with that if it were required as it benefits more than just rawk. I'm not involved in bean counting though so don' t know the current state of the sites maintenance fund.

You could use the images and their associated user names from the "Put a face on a RAWKite!" thread - for real! There are some belters on there and maybe the victims ourselves would want one or three :)
