How Tanki, players and sponsors can make millions...


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I really didn't see any topic heading relating to my idea, but since this involves monetization, this was the closest one.

 

Why doesn't Tanki have product sponsors?

 

For example, sponsors may want to advertise their products, what better way than to put them on tanks, just like people do in sports, when their equipment have decals by their sponsors.?

 

The better the tankist, the more pay they would get for allowing their tanks to have product sponsor decals?

 

In addition, Tanki would take cut from the sponsor dollars paid to these pro-electronic tankists?

 

I would see this as a three way win situation:

 

1)  Tankists receiving sponsor dollars, motivating them to play more and better.

 

2)  Sponsors advertising their products to a targeted audience.

 

3)  Tanki making money by taking a cut, just like YouTube takes a cut on what Livestreamers make.  Also Tanki would benefit by advertising their website and having more people play because they hope to be big time players and get paid big time sponsor bucks?

 

Sincerely,

kingnoober XD

Declined

 

While advertising is a great source of income for many websites and small indie games, in an MMO like Tanki it would do more bad than good. I can guarantee you that Tanki has a marketing team, which I'm pretty sure consists of at least one person, whose actual job is to figure out what's the best way for the company to get revenue. That person (or people) has definitely considered advertisement as a source of revenue and, seeing that it hasn't been used yet, seems like it isn't a good option.

 

And it makes sense, since adverts clutter up a game's interface and make it seem less professional. So no, sponsors won't be used in Tanki.

Well, I don't have access to Alternativa's employee details, do I?  -_-

You said "they definitely have a marketing team" then proceeded to say "which I'm pretty sure consists of at least one person."

How can they "definitely" have a team if you're only "pretty sure" they have a minimum of one person? xD
