Wanting to start 4m NB Advert - need buttons advice / graphics critism

Submitted by demirep77 on Sat, 08/08/2009 - 6:47pm
There will be 13 buttons (yes, 13 is a weird number). So far I have 1 - Home/Garden (taken) 2 - Books/School 3 - Food/Drinks 4 - Collectables 5 - Training/Bottled Faeries 6 - Wearables/Backgrounds (taken) 7 - Petpets/Supplies 8 - Toys and Plushies (taken) 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - What are some other relatively easy to fill categories? And do you think any of the categories already spoken for will be hell on wheels? Aaaaand what is a good day to post (not Friday or Saturday, I am pretty much unavailable on the weekends - unless someone I know I can trust wants to take on the posting, that is) Also, since it is going to be the "optional" nb advert for me and joshiesmommy's mall, I clearly need the name to be Shenkuu themed. Shops of Shenkuu Heights? Shop at Shenkuu Market? Something I haven't thought about yet? The banner (thus far) is attached. I'll reupload as it gets edited.

I really like your banner! Don't forget about the paintbrushes spot, that one is always easy to fill. :)

Is it easy? Good to know. Do you think the banner looks dumb without a boarder? I really didn't want to use up precious button space on a boarder.... EDIT - although now that i think about it I don't even know if other people put boarders or not. I guess I should look at the notice board every once in a while. ;) and pip - I see you joined PW! :) They are my second favourite guild. (Central Command is my first favourite)

Yes paint is insanely easily to fill, if you get desperate i'm sure my paint shop would take part, he joins any and every ad going half the time :P As for helpful comments and suggestions um.... it's almost 4am 0:-) so the only thing thats popping into my head is "OMG another person starting a 4mil ad" seems to be quite a trend right now. With that in mind, finding a good day to post may be tough. I'd probably check out Nilrems tracking page and see which day is best for you vs how many people post that day normally.

Kirsty - I'll pm you to tell you why I'm starting one. Totally not board-fodder. ;) Sean - That's true. I should add that one, then. So Paintbrushes and Clothing/Grooming. 3 more buttons to dream up.

During the weekdays, there's usually only one poster -- sometimes two. (I know on Wednesday, there are 2 of us). Weekends are where there seems to be the most competition in advertisements. You might want to add Sweets/Treats/Bakery to your list. I know it can go hand in hand with food, but I have had a lot of interest in it even separate from food.

True, some of the weekdays are reasonably quiet... aren't mondays one of the quietest days? I thought 3 people posted on Wednesdays, I must be out of touch with ads recently :P
