They get $6,000!!! What do they get for ads of software that is real? Anyway,
I just hope that when Pub. Partner finally does come out that it will have been
worth the wait. Thanks for the information on the ad rates.
Calvin – From our point of view, our almost total lack of print advertising is
one of the reasons we have been able t-eep the retail costs of our products
fairly low. We have also found that for us, product mentions and reviews have
a much better consumer response than flashy ads in every mag. If I get me
PageStream before yours shows up, I' ll let ya know what I think. <–Stan
Thanks, I appreciate that. By the way, have you noticed how many of those large
$6,000 ads don't even show a screen shot of the program. Some of those ads ran
for months before I even knew what kind of game or product it was. The ads for
games tend to do this the most. Wonderful art work, but no idea what the game
looks like. Thanks again!
Calvin – As far as screen shots, as you may have noticed, we software
developers are a fickle lot. Stuff usually gets changed, fixed and moved
around in the eleventh hour. As ads for the larger circulation rags like AW
are submitted sometimes up to 3 months prior to publication, screens might not
even be finished. It''s probably better not to show anything, than a screen
thats not even close to finished product. I guess I'm going on gut instinct,
but my experience with their ST product is making it worth the wait for me.
