[quote=demirep77]the splitting up of categories too much irritates me and hurts your hits. I dropped out of an NB advert once because I had held the Clothing/Grooming button and then one day out of the blue they added a Wearables/Background button (before the Clothing/Grooming one was the only relevant one on the advert) and my hits from that ad took a HUGE drop. Clothing/Grooming is a bit of a poopy button once Wearables/Backgrounds gets tossed in there.[/quote] That happened to me too, but the ad closed down soon afterward. The wearables spot is just so competitive.

"And I hope you give existing members first choice of categories if you do decide to change/add more buttons" That raises a good point. I would have stayed on the advert that I dropped out of if the person running it had mentioned to me "I am adding a new Wearables/Backgrounds button, do you want to take that one on since you've been on my advert for over 6 months or do you want to stick with the Clothing/Grooming button?" I would have taken the Wearables/Backgrounds button and stayed with the advert had I been given the choice. Instead I looked at the advert once it was posted and was like "what the fresh hell?". Way disrespectful. Not cool. So as long as you don't pull any surprises like that on your existing participants you should be okay. ;)

Yeah over splitting isnt that great. The clothing/grooming gets a big hit when its separated from wearables so you'll have to drop the fees significantly for that person. Basically, this means TOTAL COST/total spots to calculate everyone's fees is not a good way to approach it. The cards person is bound to get lower hits/sales than a furniture/wearables and it would be unfair for both to pay the same fees

Is this alright with you? Her account is currently frozen but hopefully she'll eventually get unfrozen. You're in for a surprise.

I recently started participating in a 4mil ad, first time I only had garden, second time I had furny/garden on my button. The second ad actually broke even for me, based on the difference in profit (averaged over the four weeks leading up to the NBad weeks). The first ad I lost money on. Personally, I wouldn't take a garden spot again unless it had furniture with it. That doesn't mean you won't fill it, you might just find a high turnover of participants.

For instance, I have an individual who is taking Furniture and Garden at the same time but does not take the spot the following week. Since, the button is much larger, she gets profit this way and get enough neopoints to do it again after a few weeks. Although she only participates once a month (my advertisement is bi-weekly), I think she's quite happy with the turnout. You're in for a surprise.
