Your input is needed for an ad campaign for Kitely Market

[Sarge Misfit]

I got to thinking a little more about the machinima idea.

Why not a series? 'Filmed' completely inworld, dialogue that includes info about Kitely while also showing off the various worlds we have here. Come up with a story line, plots and twists. Make it a medieval sci-fi murder mystery comedy-drama adventure soap opera. Go completely wild with it, push the limits of what can be done with OpenSim in Kitely. Release the episodes on YouTube, submit them to PBS and the Knowledge Network, enter them in Indie film competitions.

There is a game out there called Defiance. They did something similar. They have 'blended' their MMO with a TV series. A pretty good one at that. http://www.defiance.com/en/

Make this part of the long-term advertising campaign. One that not only targets current users across the Metaverse, but also gets out to the general television watching public, drawing them to come in and try it for themselves. Do it all Indie, low costs, top quality.

Sounds great, Ilan. Woohoo! Will think on it and let you know if I come up with anything.

Just a note that may help people that plan on making a Kitley MP:

This in response to a post that another store owner posted and I have been feeling the same way. I have gone through so many products and have seen the most ridiculous questions and reviews. This is supposed to be fun, like SL MP, but it is not!

Omg you are soooo right, I am so ready to pull my store from Kitely...I cannot take the people in here with their bad ratings and comments. I came in here and there was nothing for avatars, so I went out of my way and paid money for Second Inventory and for lic. from stores, not to mention the time pulling it through and listing it in another market. It is a long process and I actually brought things inI wouldn't usually put on SL Marketplace, only because I recognized there was a need for it here and I wanted to make it available to the people in this game, so the game could grow.

Instead of being happy that there are diff. skins and hair in here (which I don't usually do, but wanted to make them available in a game that didn't have many) I get people giving me a four star ratings and rude comments. Actually one customer that commented above talked about me, because she had been disappointed about lack of demos. The reason I didn't give demos is because there were some glitches in the beginning of the Ktley MP that caused hair to go onto the hand instead of where I had originally placed it and also notecards weren't working properly. I didn't complain about it, I went back in, reset the hair and made new notecards, as well as put directions on my ad in case they still didn't work.

This person wanted a demo and I sent her a free copy of the hair she was interested in and wrote to her and thanked her for contacting me and she told me she loved it. Then weeks later, I noticed she had given me a review and said the hair left a bald spot on her head. I tried that hair on diff. shapes when I made it and it fit, but I kept it mod. so people could adjust it. I even offered to help her fit it as I always do with customers that don't understand how to do this. Her only reply was that she wouldn't buy from my store because of me contacting her about her review and she also posted in the forum about it. I tried my best to help her. I even sent her where I was located in rl, so I could contact her when she was available, but did not get a response to this, only negative comments in the forum.

I totally agree with the poster about customers being diff. in Kitley than in SL. I have been a SL store owner for almost three years and have over two hundred items on my store and whenever someone buys products or has a question I always respond and help immediately. I am not in it for the money, I am in it to provide people with things they need in virtual games. I love creating and I love setting up my stores, but Kitely has been very stressful. In SL people always write me saying they love my products, in Kitely, I always have some kind of comment that isn't positive. It is not worth the stress to me. The people that comment do not usually have stores of their own and do not usually create, yet they comment on every little thing that they can!

People like this are detrimental to the Kitely MP, they make creators not want to bother bringing things into Kitley, I am ready to close up shop, it's to much! Thank you to Ozwell Wayfarer you make me feel like I am not the only one!

Catya,

I was going to ignore your post in the original thread. It seemed likely that you had just been having a bad day when you posted it there. But since you now seem bent on spreading this to irrelevant threads, I can just barely restrain myself.

Omg you are soooo right, I am so ready to pull my store from Kitely...I cannot take the people in here with their bad ratings and comments.

I deleted all the sarcastic things I had to say about your posting and will limit my comments to this: I fail to see how the message you copied over into this thread contributed anything to the discussion of a proposed ad campaign for Kitely Market.

Hi Catya,

Your comment is off topic so, in order not to derail this thread, I answered it in the thread you originally posted it in.
