We will do whatever it takes to support those in and out of Capcom Japan still fighting quietly for us.
To that end, we opened up legendsvscapcom.com to allow the community to self-fund promotion.
Yesterday at 10:30PM EST we ordered $235 of advertising with $199.13 being executed between 10:30PM EST 4/20/2012 and 1:00AM EST 4/21/2012. This caused 1,732 new people to become members of GetMeOffTheMoon. It is highly likely that friends of the new members also joined our cause and 2,000 likes was reached.
In conclusion, this test provided mixed results. While bringing people to this facebook page was very successful, the links that were included in about 50% of the ads to join the Devroom largely failed. This is probably because the instructions to join the Devroom are dated at July of last year. Many people probably got the impression the information was outdated.
A new round of advertising will occur tomorrow factoring what was learned yesterday. There is plenty of money left in the advertising fund, and we will continue to use it to the best of our abilities.
Be advised, the reason why multiple Legends pictures are being posted with calls to action to join the Devroom is because we are informing people unaware of our situation. I understand many people view this as spam, but the fact is not everyone is on facebook 24/7. Every post is typically viewed by different people, and having a large gap between Devroom members and GetMeOffTheMoon members is a problem we need to work on. Advertising is all around us. Every 15 minutes on T.V., before every hulu video, sometimes before a youtube video, and 3 times during a South Park video. New posts will be made in the future, and I would like to apologize if this is annoying. Please understand we are trying to bring back a game that we love.
Currently the GetMeOffTheMoon paid advertising fund is at $647 (See legendsvscapcom.com) and a person by the name of Coalescence donated $300 with a story that got cut off due to character limitations. Jake Hans would like to make a public request for Coalescence to message this facebook page with your story. We would love to publish your full story (with permission of course.)
Well that's it for now. Let's talk again! Together we fight, Legends Never Die!
