Lobby Advertising: Get People Talking About Your Ads & Products
One option that makes advertising at GTO stand out is the ability to advertise in our game lobby, called the Gathering Place. The Gathering Place is where gamers gather to start online games and chat. Instead of surfing from page to page GTO users are focused on the Gathering Place, sometimes for hours. This makes the quality of your ad impressions better. The lobby provides live chat so there is an immediate opportunity to talk about ads with other gamers, further improving attention and retention.
Because of this unique situation GameTable Online sells Gathering Place advertising in “shares” instead of the standard impression units. A share will get you an equal cut of the Gathering Place ad displays so if there were 10 advertisers, 1 share would put your ad 1/10th of all our lobbies opened by users. If you want to increase your exposure, buy multiple shares.
Affordable & Flexible Pricing:
For as little as $30 per month your ads can be running at GameTable Online. GTO is also able and willing to discuss trade offers for advertising. This includes a trade for return advertising as well as for products and services that appeals to gamers. In particular GTO likes board games as we use them for prizes. This makes for the perfect opportunity to turn your excess game inventory into an ad campaign!
