Competitions Department

[Seatherny]

Maybe you could bribe a few dj's to make some short adverts for the new competitions to play every so often or even get them to plug them live on air I am not sure how it is these days but in the past each department always seemed to work independently but perhaps each manager from each department could get together and discuss ways of how to promote each others department. (I know managers are very busy so could be somebody else). Some sort of mystery themed quest type thing with clues on habbo and set over every Habbox department running over a few weeks (Would get ppl who only use the forum or listen to the radio etc to give other areas of the site a try) Maybe do one of these every 3 or 6 months as long as the 1st one worked. You would need a good prize if you all got together to work on something big to make sure people took part. If this was going to happen I would gladly give 500/1000 creds to help in a prize fund.

The DJs didnt like the idea of advertising HxHD so I doubt they would advertise competitions . Dont know why but they seem to hate advertising things.

Erm, the DJs do advertise HxHD? It's the other way around everyone complained about HxL partying in there. We also advertise events everyday but i think the jingle when we get them will be enough advertising for the competitions

In the last thread, alot of the DJs were annoyed when the idea of advertising on the radio came up. Ofcourse some DJs dont mind but a lot dont like the idea.

Great to see the new Competitions tab.

Where is the list of donators for competitions? and how come each competition no longer says who donated the prize?

Let's just say... the last manager wasn't very good at keeping tabs of who donated what and tbh, now that general management tend to deal with donations, I'm not very good either!

I remember requesting a comps jingle and ,jess, was happy to help so I don't think there's any problem with hxl and advertising. plus when I spam their request line advertising (my non-jingle method), they tend to do it

When you have a help desk doing a job helping it is pretty bad when a radio party invades lol Departments would need to work together though and not expect HxL to advertise to much. There are a few internet radios that when you open up the site every time you get a random advert for say 10 seconds before the radio connects and that way the dj's would not have to do them.

I use to try Advertising the Competitions quite a bit, and even did competitons on the radio to get people to enter them.
Except it didn't seem to work. I just think most the listeners to Hxl can not bothered to hop on to hxf.

I know for a fact that there are many Habboxlive users who aren't users of Habboxforum or don't really know what a post is etc. This is then preventing them from entering competitions as you need to post/PM to enter and as I said, some don't know or can't be bothered to do that! However, a jingle would be good and Roxy and I were talking about it the other day to see how it was progressing, and should be here quite soon.

On the whole, thank you for such splendid comments! I'm glad those changes paid off as they were quite difficult to implement, not as a change but how competitions changed from December 2009 to January 2010. Our main priority now, however, is advertising. We're trying to make sure they're advertised more in events and hopefully that jingle will come! Thought I'd let you know so you understand where we're standing at the moment.
