How long will signature campaigns last?

[Patatas]

Signature campaigns are holding a decent amount of members on this forum , ending them just because we switched to another forum software wouldn't make much sense and will make a lot of users switching to forum.bitcoin.com that is desperately looking for members at the moment.

Why would you jump to the conclusion that switching to the new forum will be the end of campaigns ? To my knowledge,theymos already mentioned that Signature Campaigns is more just an advertisement,it has become a part of bitcoin culture [IIRC] and no they wouldn't end it in the new forum.Of course,if it ever happens,a new forum will easily take over that is if they have potential.

That depends on each signature campaign itself, how the managers and business owners are happy with it and the results they get. Of course another factor is how much money they have and are willing to spend for campaigns. As long they have use of it they will finance it. At least I think so.
Since I'm involved in one hope it will last it's good source of extra income, it's fun and it makes you to be very active on forum which is also good for learning stuff and communicating.

First, I do not think BTC will reach bonanza any time soon. I ve been listening to this for years and guess what, still nothing.

Second, even if the price would go up, sig campaign manager would accommodate and reduce rewards payable in BTC to match BTC price.

Third, more people entering Bitcoin market means larger market for products we all promote by being parts of sig campaigns.

So, no problem there.

I feel that it is time for us to discuss about this matter. How long do you people thinks that Bitcointalk signature campaigns will last?

Bitcoin will be hitting its peak and probably surpass it very soon looking at the current rate. Which means that more people will be joining us in investing Bitcoin. This mean that there will be a huge changes in the signature campaigns community.

I feel that the number of signature campaigns will be greatly reduced once Bitcoin reaches a new height because it is much efficient to just start a advertisement campaign on popular AD networks like A-ads and MellowAds or even Google Adsense.

No.Signature campaigns will keep running like they used to without any effect of bitcoin price.Most campaigns will reduce the rates of payment but they will continue to run as their business depends on bitcoin and this forum is a great source of bitcoin related traffic

I agree with you here. This forum is pretty much THE bitcoin forum, there may be others but they will never be the original. Most enthusiasts come here, as well as people new to the technology.

Yes that's exactly what I feel. Everyone who knows about bitcoin is on this forum so this is the best place to advertise any bitcoin related service, but yes they can do advertising with ad works and others but that depends on how much they are planning to spend on advertising on bctalk it doesn't take a lot of budget to hold a campaign.

It depends on the signature campaign!
There are campaigns wherein the time frame is indicated on the thread and there are also campaigns which don't have the time frame. The OP will just announce if the campaign will be pause for a while or will be permanently close.

But the point is, how long businesses will need signature campaign for promoting their business and for using it to stay competitive with their businesses.

It means as long as signature campaigns are supporting business to find new customers, we can assume signature campaigns will stay here by providing this forum members the opportunity of earning by advertising their sponsors.

Since the forum does not use ad networks I think that it is a great opportunity for companies to advertise here.

Besides the advertisement on forum managed by theymos we can see how much visitors has the forum https://bitcointalk.org/adrotate.php?adstats

I'm not sure how the signatures will look like in the new forum but it's good to not complicated the UI/UX because as it is now it is great.

The only reason signature campaigns even run is because signature campaigns generate traffic to a specific website, and that usually results in that said site making profit if the redirected user spends money on that site. As long as bitcointalk stays where it is in terms of traffic or even expands, expect campaigns to continue to run. Some campaigns spend over 1 BTC per week- quite a commitment, and it shows just how effective a campaign can be if the members post as much as they are supposed to.
