I am going to start prepping an ad for reddit. I need to wait until the 15th, and depending on the sales numbers this week I will publish ASAP. I will start with like 10-15 bucks, and if I botch it I won't worry about it, if I feel comfortable with it and I get some response, I will invest more. This is also depending on the availability, "
inventory", of ad space on the following subreddits (r/fallout, r/fo3, r/fo4, r/fnv) before the group buy closes.
What I need: Image, Title, Content (Q&A) for a Text type of ad. I want to do text for a few reasons but mainly because people might click more knowing they are going to a reddit page with more information and not a random google order form. Also because I can't come up with a way to measure the clicks, so I need to depend on the trust of reddits ad portal. We can post a Q&A for the text, and I (or us) will also answer any questions in the ad comments.
Image: has to be 70x70, I like Zero's yellow vault 12 keycap render, should turn some heads.
Title: something human readable, like "Get Fallout inspired keycaps for your MX stem compatible mechanical keyboard". ugh, could be better but you get the idea.
Q&A: I will be stealing info from other people, but this is the part where we try to convince people we are not some company selling these for profit (on the contrary I'm sure as with ANY group buy Zero goes in the red, especially on shipping), but this is for the larger purpose of getting Bethesda on board to create nuka's in the future, how ever you want to put it.
Q&A:
Q: Why?
A: You are getting awesome fallout inspired novelty keycaps on your mechanical keyboard. Insert links to OP images.
Q: Why a group buy?
A: The manufacturer [Signature Plastics] as minimum order quantities for custom orders. A group buy allows us to meet this requirement.
Q: When do I pay?
A: In this group buy (and many others), you will be invoiced before the order is sent to the manufacturer. This is so that one person does not have to front ALL of the money, and then be on the hook for keycaps that, sadly, might not sell.
Q: How long will it take to get the caps?
A: The group buy ends May 1st (or Apr 30th?). The order is sent to the manufacturer once the payments are in and the the turn around time could be 3-4 months, possibly longer, depending on the available production times of the manufacturer. Once they are received from the manufacturer they are sorted and mailed out. The wait is worth it!
Q: Anything else?
A: Admittingly we do have an agenda, not only do we want another awesome round of fallout inspired keycaps, but we also want Besthesda to make keycaps with the nuka-cola logo. There is a plan in place to do this, and this group buy will help fund and provide material for that plan
Q: Where can I put an order in?
A: [link to order form] as well as more info on how to order.
I also want to post pictures (and we can post pictures in the comments) and I want to post links to the previous successful group buys, to show we are not one-off goons, as well as plans for future buys (more vault numbers and color ways), as well as faction logos?
I need some help with the above (YAY or NAY on the whole plan), if YAY then ideas, improvements AND spell checking. Like I said I would be MORE than happy to invest and get this group buy out there to a much larger audience. The only caveat is I need some help to put the best possible advertisement together, I will look a fool a million times over but since this is unofficially representing Zero, perfection is the only option. I also want to protect Zero, paypal disputes is a real issue with group buys and can be compounded with getting people from the ad on board that have not experienced lengthy buy and manufacture times (like I have with round5 and round6
). We can do this by being real and honest in the ad, this means support with the ad itself, with pictures of previous rounds, and with quality answers to any questions in the comment section.
