How's working Advertisement in a grocery???

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 08.03.2007, 12:02

I have a grocery and i sell 800 pcs in 9 hours.
I put 404 advertisement in there and instead of 1% people who know grocery now they are at 2% but the time needed to sell 800 pcs is still 9 hours...
I expect to sell the same amount in half a time!!!

To make your goods sell in half the time you need to have the maximum amount of ads the store requries.

This is 40,000 advertisment points.

I think you'll find that having less than 40,000 does not help so much, so might wanna save up and buy all in 1 go

40000*67=2.68M

This game start to pissed me off...
You have to make a lot of mistakes to see that is wrong or that dont work like is supposed. And everytime you loose 50.000-100.000, must sell your building and buy another.

I guess thats part of the game, trying things out, seeing what works and what doesnt.

You can always reset your account, and you can ask for help on these forums

I restarted once, so i am not happy to do it over and over again...

And in the beggining is very painfull to loose 50.000-100.000 or change a building or two. Than is equivalent with 1-2 weeks of working for nothing!

200m2 Gas station in red costs about 2.9M (assuming that you buy all the resources needed) and it takes 2.5 days to build (expand)

so let's say you have a gas station like this and you are selling 10k gas in 12 hours, if you expanded it to 400m2, you would sell 20k gas in 12 hours, which makes 10k gas in 6 hours, but you'll have to invest 2.9M

on the other hand, if you bought 40k advert points, you would sell 10k gas in 6 hours, but you invest only 2.68M

so it's not worth to buy the advertisements until you have 200m2 shop or bigger, because it's still less expensive to double the amount then to half the time

Thank you very much!
From what i see advertising is not so a big issue in this game.
At least until Manager level...

I have another question.
I have no advertissement until now.
How does the points for advertissement are calculated ?

Is it usefull to buy advertissement if I only have a small grocery (30m

crocobis, I think Drvic enterprises answered your question. which is no, not unless you have 200m2 store...

But I have another question, how to calculate advertisement points ? and does quality affect advertisement points ?

I beleve you get 1 ad point for each ad plus 1 q.

So a q0 ad is 1 point.
a q1 ad is 2 points
a q2 ad is 3 points
(etc.)
