how much does making ads cost per ad?
i have the research to make q26 ads

should i wait longer(until higher quality)?

I sell them on the market for around 20 caps per adpoint.
For ads, quality is less important then sellingprice I think.
I sold ads for a while and it went very well, until somebody (will not mention names) showed up again and started to sell for 17 and something.

Productioncost is the power you use (marketprice) plus productioncost in your building.
Productioncost goes up with every quality you make.

Also, the tv station should be in green area, very important, in red you will never make profit.

From my point of view, to sell advertisement in market is more suitable for higher quality. Lower quality Ad will not have a chance unless it sell below it unit price. Here my explanation but pls correct me if I wrong:

Basic pointer:
1) Green Zone TV station: Cheapest to produce.

2) Q0 Ad = 1 Ad point
Q1 Ad = 2 Ad point
Q10 Ad = 11 Ad point....etc
( Quality + 1 = Ad point)

3) Production Cost (PC) for Q0 Ad in Green Zone for Q0 research is 270

Uno Enterprise is right except one thing - power cost which is 0.10

Uno, we always calculate our power at marketprice, even if we produce it ourselves, it is still marketprice we calculate with. and that goes for all products and subproducts we produce/use.

I can sell 1000 power on the market and earn 100 -10% marketfee= 90 caps.
But instead I make ads with the power, so I add the 90 caps (or rather 100 caps. that is the sellingprice) to the cost of producing ads.

And I would not scream for Celtnes blood if he sold for even lower, lol, but I would not be pleased...

(But then neither would he if he would sell it for that price.
He would lose money.)

Hi Sally,

Icic. Because I have all type of the factory myself, I produce the needed material myself to sell it in my store, so for my profit margin i always calculate from the cost price.

Anyway I think Advertisement profit is low n very limited. It unlike other product which store can sell continuously unless supply is more than demand.

For advetisement, 1 store only need 40k ad pt. Once a player reach the limited of stores he can have, he no longer require advertise unless he sold his factory or Research to open up another store. Like my case which i fully fulfill all my store 40k ad requirement. the rest of my ad is totally useless n taking up space in my warehouse. I cant sell them coz i can never match higher quality ad in Cos per Ad point

You are right, sell your Media RC, TV stations, pover plants, build stores and use Ads from your warehouse (or buy from Sally). Find suplier for your new stores and make big money.
