Vampire Fetish Advertising

Journal Entry: Thu Oct 13, 2011, 6:49 PM


Advertising. Banners. I need to make them. So, advertising. The results of my research:

:bulletblack: legible
:bulletblack: straightforward
:bulletblack: "Click here" works surprising well
:bulletblack: Verbs like "Read this" or other imperatives
:bulletblack: Mild animation very effective



Summary. I discovered that that "Click Here!" or any imperative verb gets more clicks than you expect (ironically). On animation, I read that even the obnoxious animated banners statistically fare better (not that I would aim for anything seizure-inducing, only subtle and snazzy though, I promise!)

The Idea Pot. So, I would appreciate your brains, thoughts, and suggestions. Hand them over. Give me your lamest, your brainiest, and your most tasteless one-liners and phrases that make you think of Vampire Fetish.

:iconstopplz: WARNING: I will use them, and though I might publicly thank you or put your name in the thank you section of my book, I WILL USE your ideas if I like them, so don't post if you're stingy and DON'T want me using it!




Tell me what floats your boat, and I shall put a :star: by that one, thus I can breeze over and put priority on the most important phrases when I get ready to mock them up.

I definitely recommend that you use the "Do you WANT to see the city burn... etc" for one. Maybe if it's animated, have it first say the line, with a city background or Jude, then a smile, or such, then the I DO. Or something like that haha. It will definitely catch the attention of more action oriented fans. I know I definitely loved it when you used it as a top banner.

As for recommendations? Hrm...
"Vampires are in this year"
"The newest vampire sensation!"
"Jude Hawthorne; Not your everyday Vampire Hunter."
Maybe something with "Vampire Satire" cause it kinda rhymes.
Maybe like a street sign with "Vampires X'ing (or just crossing)" or something.
"Everyone has a hint of madness" (maybe referring to demented Jude)

I like the way you think, Will.

Thank you for this long response. I read it awhile back. *_* I just wanted to reply to it when I was ready to edit the journal to make sure I got all the suggestions.

Your Satire one gave me an idea: "Vampire Satire...with Sexy Attire."

I love vampire crossing. That almost begs for a four-koma involving an unassuming couple and a mysterious "speed bump."
