In a Habbo World

*Ahhhh ooooo Ahhhhh!!!*

All the things I would do,
If I had a little money,
In my Habbo Purse;)

Wow, I wrote that :P

Anyway back on Topic and away from ABBA.

True Habbo are a business, but do you not find this over the top?

[SupaIGA]

Yes its about getting you to buy HC, Because it may only cost 25 credits a month however they know your not just going to buy HC for one month your going to want to have it every month.. So it may seem like only 25 credits but when you add up all the months they'll be getting quiet alot of money from it !

Erm
Sulake = Business
Habbo = Game

Yes it is a business, but they are a "bobba" business at that, a proper business will not advertise like this for some useless club. They would advertise softly and leave people to buy it at their own time rather than throwing it in your face :rolleyes:

Here we go;

Revenue:

This is the total value of sales made within a trading period.
Other terms for revenue that you may hear are, Income and/or sales.

Without a business ahving any revenue coming into the business to make a profit, there is no use of the business staying up and running. The businesses has used their money to set it up, also maybe taken out bank loans or used bank overdrafts to help set up the business. All income from a business is used to buy raw materials, wages, transport etc, whatever the businesses may require.

What is profit?
This is the amount left from revenue after costs have been deducted (wages, etc).

Revenue - costs = Profit/Loss.
If Habbo have very little revnue, they would make no profit what so ever, which would be a loss, and they may go bankrupt.

There are many ways of expressing profit,
Examples:
Gross Profit.
Net Profit or Even.
Profit after tax.

Each has a very precise definintion yet all of them measure some type of revenue minus some type of cost.
The relationship between the costs and revenue of a business will determine the profit it makes. If the business want to increase profits, it needs to earn the highest possible revenue yet reduce their costs to a minimum.

I hope you understand what I am trying to say here, if it is too complicated, then here is a shorter understanding statement;

Habbo need money, to run a business to make it better. End of ;)

[SupaIGA]

People know there is a habboclub, They know the benifits why put a screen when loading a room advertising it ???

If someone is going to buy HC they would have already !

Everyday new Habbo's join Habbo Hotel and don't know much reguarding Habbo Club, this is another way for them to learn about Habbo Hotel. Habbo Hotel are not just thinking about people buying HC, but they are also educating people about HC aswell.

And in Leisure and Tourism, where you learn how to analyze a Business and pick out its good services and key tactical business skills, Habbo Hotel STINKS as a Business.

Yes they are a business, they need money, but they are going about wrongly to get this money. They should not force people to pay for something they do not want by putting a stupid advert when loading rooms which therefore will make them hated and generally desperated. If people want to buy someone they will, don't force them as they will not buy it and generally hate the services which are always rubbish.

A real business, will not force people to join for things they do not want. They advertise yes, but not like Habbo has done. If they want to advertise Habbo Club they have already done enough to do that by putting the HC badge on the Hotel View, what else do they want? Going any further makes them a desperate business.

[Ible.]

ok - ill add u rep wen i can lol

By advertising Habbo Club in a public room is up to them, They are not forcing you, by forcing someone they would say; ''OMG YOU NEED TO BUY HABBO CLUB OR YOU WILL BE BANNED!!'' They aren't exactly doing it. It's not compulsary for anyone to buy HC, It is just giving others more privellages, as is this forum. They are also giving you the chance to buy VIP, for more features, as Habbo Hotel do with Habbo Club. Habbox Forum has also advertised to buy VIP on it's anniversary, so why shouldn't Habbo Hotel? ;S

[GommeInc]

You are taking it out of Context, they are allowed to advertise, but a real business that actually is a good business doesn't advertise like Habbo Hotel does. Habbo have done the stupid thing and added an advert to a loading screen which basically looks ugly and stupid. Plus, if you had any thought of the matter, you get V8 which has already said to Habbo Members, we do not like you but we will make you buy HC. The dance thing is absolutely rediculous and so is the console.

There was a rumour that this HC thing was to help reduce Server lag, wouldn't more people buying HC increase this lag?

Habbo are basically saying to Non HC Members, "Buy HC now, you are lame without these features" while they should be saying "Hey Habbo, buy HC! You get cool new features!"

But then again, it's not just the game that Habbo as a whole stinks as a business.

[Carlos]

This thread is turning into a business argument o.O :p

[Col]

If Habbo Hotel stinks as a business, then you should tell them that - Tell them that the advertisements are over the top, and they could advertise their business in a much for softer way, instead of adding the advertisement to all public rooms or whatever.

They stink because they cannot accept their problems and the email will be answered in a few weeks times if they bother answering them. One reason why they stink as a business. Most businesses take in any kind of critisizm, Habbo merely lies, like that Hackings and they do not answer emails the best that they can get.

[Carlos]

waaaa?

[Hatake Kakashi]

They stink because they cannot accept their problems and the email will be answered in a few weeks times if they bother answering them.

Ok. On an average, The number of people who played habbo is around 8000 or over (not accurate). Most people who use the Habbo Help tool e-mail habbo like 40 times over one issue. I'd think that around 2000 or over out of those 8000 players e-mail habbo expecting a reply straight away. Remember, they are moderating and updating there web page and hotel alot. I've used the Help Tool once over a credits issue but I got the reply straight away. Don't think e-mailing them 20 times in a day will get it answered quicker. Your just filling up their inbox making it harder to get to your problem

Ok. That point is right. They did try to mask the problem and come up with witty reply's. No other corp does that. Microsoft for example tackle the problem head on and apologise for what had happened.


and they do not answer emails the best that they can get.

Reitarating my first point, your not the only one with problems on habbo.

[GommeInc]

That's when hiring more staff comes into play, they are not poor, they can manage them. But alas, they only want money but are to blind to see how to make a sustainable amount

[Hatake Kakashi]

Tushay! However, Some people can't become hobba's or moderators because they are unerage anyway. They want you to be of a mature age for a reason.

[GommeInc]

I was hinting staff to work either from home or in an office that specifically answer emails ;)

[Hatake Kakashi]

Yeah, that's a good idea. But, there are alot of downsides to working at home aswell. Lack of communication is one. Convo's on messeger cause freezing to computers and e-mail providers block off e-mail's from habbo as well. The copy of the software is another. Fake E-mail addresses with virus attachments could cause them to be fired. I'm sure there are others

Btw: Isn't this off topic? :S

[GommeInc]

Does it matter :P

Anyway, they do not neccessarily need to use MSN to contact Habbo Staff if there is a problem, working at Home will basically be

Answer Emails > Error > Phone Habbo > 1 Person Done

Basically they only need to phone when there is a big problem, plus they could be trained how to deal with certain situations and therefore communication with Habbo will be alot lower.

[QuackMe]

Obvious, they want you to buy HC :P Ignorant berks that Habbo Staff people are...

Ya, i agree

[Hatake Kakashi]

Gomme is smart and I'm a nooboid :D
Your like a robot, answers and responses to everything.
It is a good idea anyway. Maybe they should trail it and see how it goes. Never know what could happen.

[Seacat]

I've personally got no problem with the advertisements, Habbo do need to make money to keep running and there's no point them paying to promote themselves in magazines and stuff when they can promote themselves on their own site.

If there was one change that could be made though, I'd ask that it didn't pop-up for people ALREADY in HC, as that seems a little pointless.

[Ziploc Bag]

putting us non hcs down ARGHHH

btw if u look u see a hc in the non hc line

[Seacat]

I don't understand how there is a non-HC person in the line -- How can you tell? Just because somebody isn't wearing Habbo Club clothing doesn't mean they are not in Habbo Club. :p

At the moment they make enough money to keep them running for a very long time, why do they need to over advertise? It just makes them look desperate which is not a good thing for a business like Habbo, people may leave at the unfairness towards non-HC Members, which is what they need to buy Habbo Club to make a wider range of Habbo CLub likers...

[manga21]

Oh God This Has To be the lamest Thing Ever, There Trying to Make Non Hcs Look Lmae By Puting them in the Dark And making the Hcs Sparkle And Stuff, Why The hell you be Cooler With Extra Pixels to Change Omgzz!1111!11zzz i dont have does [ixels so lyk i am realy lame0r, -.- How Lame Are Sulake,

Anyways They Are Desprate, There Making you pay for everything, Whats the Point of habbo club its going to run out anyways and you will have to remove most your friends anyways, and god you only lose out on 3 dances :O :O :O And Two Rooms, Humph did i say sulake are so lame?

[ross]

Bring back Jibbi ;)

[manga21]

Bring back Jibbi ;)

Its realy Hasnt got nothing to do with jibbi or callie , Its Sulake ;)

[GommeInc]

Bring back Jibbi ;)
If ione or Jibbi returned, the same would be happening, the only difference would be Events Organising and Newsletter write ups. I blame Sulake, the Worlds No. 1 Worst Business.

[-Soph-]

theres no point in advertsing it like that, yes they want to make money, but, most people know of habbo club anyway, and I dont think a pweety picture will persuade them... somehow ;]

[Carlos]

I'm not too fussed about it. Though the ad is a little cheezy ;) :p
