📝[Discussion topic] Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns📝

[Apocollapse]

I'm really happy to see there are many new signature campaign, seems there are like 10 new campaigns recently. Although we don't know how long they can survive, but seeing them want to promote in this forum means the forum still become a good place to promote cryptocurrency business.

That means this is a record-breaking campaign, right? Will there be a casino that lasts even longer? Well I see there are some casinos whose campaigns run hundreds of weeks.

Yep, even Bitvest can't beat them, cryptogames started in 2015 while Bitvest in 2016. I really doubt we will see another signature campaign can survive for 9 years, most of them didn't even reach 3 years...

I counted at least 23 active campaigns, these are mostly from casinos that continue to promote on this forum, probably because it's unique and more audience is attracted to casinos.

At least 3 years is a long time for a campaign, it means that the casino has good traffic here so they can run campaigns for so long.
I feel other casinos will also do long campaigns... hopefully...

Yeah, almost all campaigns that we have now is gambling websites. I think it's nothing surprising and it's difficult to expect that something will change soon. Gambling websites simply have biggest budgets for marketing.
At least we have several campaigns which don't promote gambling, it comes from exchanges. But in general, people who are against promoting gambling have don't much option to choose.

The gambling industry is only growing every year, especially in underdeveloped countries, so it's natural that most of the forum campaigns are offered by casinos, for the most part, and I think this will continue for quite some time.

Or is it the relative lack of campaigns other then casinos that is the cause? The next major bitcoin use place is the exchanges, most of them have regular users dont need new users signing up and the word being spread  so they dont run much campaigns here. After that comes bitcoin based payment systems and they are also not delving much into this form of advertisement.

For now this is a solution for many who may have lost their regular participation.

The gambling industry is so big that while most industries don't want their advertising dollars, they all descend on the areas where gambling sponsorships are still allowed, because they have little to no other choice elsewhere. International football is a good example of this. And then you have cryptocurrency sites like this one that cater to the crypto casinos at least.

No doubt about that and they'll continue to grow. Many new players are coming in and that's why they have to market it out especially the ones that specializes in crypto or their main currency is on it.

They'd for sure gonna take into consideration advertising through many channels which includes the forum, we see that often that there are new casinos and they're willing to listen to the community that they're about to be part of.

And maybe soon those that have their own tokens will advertise back through campaigns paying participants with their tokens through their own platforms.

There's some truth to it, but it's not like we have an influx of big-brand casinos wanting to advertise on bitcointalk. Most of the ones we have here are either crypto-focussed, or newly established ones that are trying to get traction, for whom this is a good advertising niche, as they cannot afford to compete with the big casinos in the traditional advertising spaces.

Other thing is the growing popularity of ad-blockers or browsers like Brave (who now have almost 70 millions active users) making it harder to reach audience via standard internet ads.

This is true, this growing use of ad-blockers has major impacts of advertisers to get more impressions, views, CTA and potential buyers/clients. Unlike on a forum like this, where signatures are not considered as ads unless someone uses ad blocker script to remove signature spaces and disabled signatures in their settings. So this forum always be part of the option to promote for crypto-related casinos.

(...) Unlike on a forum like this, where signatures are not considered as ads unless someone uses ad blocker script to remove signature spaces and disabled signatures in their settings.

Yup, you could disable signatures/avatars in the forum settings, but they're not considered ads and won't be disabled by ticking "Disable ads" in the profile settings. Similarly, I don't think any ad-blockers would view signatures as ads (unless specifically designed/modified for this purpose). I've been using Brave browser for a few years now, and it wouldn't block signatures even when you pick the strictest option: "Aggressively block trackers & ads".

That's a really nice advantage of signatures over classic ads which is rarely mentioned. I think campaign managers should use this argument when pitching to potential clients.

[Helena Yu]

Wow wow wow, just wow.

There are around 30 active campaigns now, even the campaign I participated want to recruit more participants.

Is this the effect of Bybit hack since Lazarus group used exch to exchange their coins, which making many people and medias are talking about exch, Cointelegraph even mention this forum along with post by exch's representative. https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-exchangexch-denies-laundering-bybit-hacked-funds

Not only that, this week many campaigns were launched... Is it because casinos have noticed that bitcointalk forum is getting a lot of attention so this is their chance to advertise here through signature campaigns?

I don't know this for sure... what is clear is that casinos still continue to dominate the forum advertising market.

Little Mouse effect?

To be honest, he has stepped up his game   I don't know how or where he gets these casinos, but his charm is working. Also, there is an increase in different casino contests in the games and rounds board and I think some casinos have noticed an increase in audience or visitors.

Mixers were banned so....

Okay, let's have a discussion in its proper place.

It is official that now the Duelbits signature campaign is HOLD.

For now, please remove your Signatures and Avatars.

I think the campaign will be relaunched soon, but it's unfortunate to see campaigns lasting more than 200 weeks on HOLD. I think the number of such campaigns has been decreasing over the years.

It's one of the best campaigns, and I've been part of it for over a hundred weeks. I'm sure they will be back soon; many are looking forward to that campaign, those part of the Duelbits campaign need not worry of ending a campaign; they just need to concentrate on their output, as Duelbits is one of the most stable casinos in the industry based on how they allocate fundings for marketing.

Okay, let's have a discussion in its proper place.

As the campaign manager said that Duelbits will be re-launched with 15 participants, maybe there will be changes because I don't know, what is clear is that this is a great campaign that has been running for a long time, giving a lot of benefits to others with small marketing to become big.

Maybe Hhampuz will surprise us again.

I was part of the Duelbits Campaign for 8 to 9 months, one of the best campaigns I've ever been part of. I'm excited to see the newly revamped campaign, as well as the members who will be part of the it. I made a lot of friends through this campaign. Duelbits V-1 (let's call it that for now) was the oldest campaign after Crypto.games, I think, and the one with the largest number of members. During that time, they consolidated their brand on another level, a true example of marketing to be followed.

Congratulations to Hhampuz for managing a campaign with such professionalism. I wish luck to those who are selected in the new campaign to come, as well as to the Duelbits team.

Crypto.games is just something else. It has out-lived many long-time campaigns on this forum.

Talk about it. That is one signature campaign that has been going on and on like forever. The owner of the campaign has been loyal to the participants, and the participants have been loyal to the brand.

And also I think the secret is in numbers, the less the participants, the easier to manage and also not straining budget wise.

But, low visibility.

I still remember crypto.games until now and old users definitely will, but I doubt new users know them, their participants do post in gambling boards, but it's all covered by other casinos especially the navy one.

I'm thinking like, they only want to protect their reputation and appearance, not looking to achieve more.

Less is more, maybe that's part of the strategy by the manager and the casino. 5y of marketing on a forum with thousands of users and visitors certainly adds value to the brand. Besides that, even if the number of participants is small, the ease of management and the longevity of the campaign are important. Campaigns with a relatively low number of members but with a functional marketing strategy tend to reach the right audience. Some companies may choose to invest in other marketing strategies, this will align itself over time.

I'm impressed Duelbits had 113 members, if I'm not mistaken and its marketing campaign lasted for such a long time (although its newly revamped version is coming soon) and everything was managed so well. Another good example is Roobet.

I have more confidence on services that is advertising in Bitcointalk and continue to do it, rather than services which do not have a presence here or stopped their signature campaigns. I have the feeling that they are shady or turned scam after their initial success.
That's how the market is working worldwide in several domains, otherwise we wouldn't see big companies still running ads until this day despite of their success and the fact they are famous.
same goes for the campaign you mentioned and for the other one which is planning for their future move.
