Where are there good places to advertise a Bitcoin related company ? Just curious.
What have you found to work ?
It really depends on what you are advertising. Best to advertise where your market target is. Like most of the advertising motor oil, gasoline, and tires, at NASCAR races.
If you are wanting to advertise CC the best place is Bitcointalk.org, secondarily my guess is Market Cap but I could be wrong, check Alexa.com to see where people go when they leave bitcointalk.org
The next major factor is cost, if you look at the cost of advertising it might eliminate your top choices. Nevertheless #11 might do what you need to have done.
As you know I'm working on PICISI, for those who are not aware PICISI will be a crowdfunding website that will accept fiat as well as cryptocurrency for campaign donations.
There will be a ton of sponsorship opportunities. In fact, I have 12 FREE sponsorship opportunities available now for a limited time.
At PICISI here are our primary sponsorship opportunities:
1) Host CC Sponsor - One of the best ways to get your coin into the hands of someone is to simply give it to them, however the best way to get your coin used by the general public is to get your coin into their hands and have them use it in a real life application. When an organizer starts a campaign at PICISI s/he has a choice of what CC currency type to select, the first choice is “sponsor currency” this is the organizer indicating a willingness to have his campaign sponsored at the host CC level. Once the sponsor is finally selected that currency will be the currency that all other CCs donated to that campaign will be converted to for the duration of that particular campaign.
This is major because everyone that visits that campaign will see your currency, but the will not only see but will likely use the funds to do business with one of the contractors at the site during the campaign. If they don't use it during the campaign, over that month of close interaction with your currency they are very likely to want to learn more about your coin so that by the end of the campaign they will make the deliberate decision to download a wallet, open an exchange account, or simply convert out of the currency. Regardless of what they actually choose to do your CC has certainly been branded into their mind in a very positive way.
2) Campaign Sponsor - this is the most common type of sponsorship outside of PICISI; the sponsor’s logo is affixed to the body of campaign text in an area set aside for campaign sponsors. The higher your donation the higher your logo is located in the sponsorship logo area.
3) Donor Perk Sponsor - a sponsor provided perk escrowed by PICISI on behalf of a specific campaign where it will be used. If the perk is not requested by any qualified donor it will be converted to host CC and donated to the campaign
4) Advertising Perk Sponsor - a sponsor provided perk escrowed by PICISI on behalf of a specific campaign to be used as a perk or returned to the sponsor. If the perk is not requested by any qualified campaign donor the perk is sent back to the sponsor -- the perk is NOT donated to the campaign.
and
5) Campaign Video Sponsor - the first 5 second of the campaign organizer's video is allocated for the Campaign Video Sponsor, this is where the sponsor will indicate: “This video is brought to you by … [say sponsor's name, show sponsor's logo, and say sponsor's catchphrase]”
Things get more interesting for 'purpose coins'. A purpose coin is a CC created for a specific purpose or niche, eg: EMC2, Metal, HYPER, GMC, RPC, Gridcoin, EDU, FLDC, etc ... for these coins they may want to direct their sponsorship more broadly to whole categories as well as specific campaigns. EMC2, Gridcoin, and FLDC will likely want affiliation with science research category; HYPER and GMC will want affiliation with gaming and game development categories, Metal will want affiliation with music category, EDU will want affiliation with Education category; SLR will want affiliation with the Renewable Energy category. So that when someone is searching via the catagories specific sponsorship logos will be part of the picture.
