Does Habbox really need a 'Marketing Manager'?

[j0rd]

Depends.. Some market really well, some have really good marketing teams. I'd argue marketing spent on smaller businesses is largely a waste of time. Shit like webuyanycar, that's just genius though.

I think the key there is whether it's done well enough. I've done marketing for smaller businesses and been extremely successful, you just have to adapt your strategies.

I think people expect marketing to work overnight, every time. When in reality it's the complete opposite. 9/10 times you won't notice a a difference over a short period of time, neither will every single technique be successful. Probably the only exception is email/SMS marketing, but that's a whole different story.

I think a marketing manager position is well worth the shot. I don't understand why some would begrudge a role? If it could potentially somewhat revive Habbox - then go for it!
If it doesn't, at least it was tried.

I think it also comes down to it just being Ross, which is kinda acceptable because I hate him too.

I think Kyle's point is that the most effective marketing would be on Habbo as that is where the new userbase are. I would agree with that.

Just going to quote useful part here.

Okay so call flyingjesus a traffic source (as a host, he sends traffic towards habboxforum)

But he's sending traffic, but the actions are very poor, everyone goes to events from HHFM & 4-5 other sites, they register (for the extra Molah) but then don't post,

That's what I want to change, but I'd like it to change early

Oh we're waiting for Skynus to do stuff that explains it

You now feel how I feel and how I feel feels like how you feel. It's crap

Quite funny, I tend to market for SME's and it's fantastic, the results I get, the fun it is to built. Recently I've been working for Al Jazeera in Qatar, crap, horrid, but pays so well if I done it for 5 more years I could retire and marry Laura

I'd like to hear more about your marketing adventures I didn't know you working in marketing to be fair, or that you were the marketing manager. More power to Habbox if they give you the marketing manager role. I got the impression they had hired a 17 year old kid with no experience haha

I think my view of marketing teams is heavily jaded working in development. They're more of a nuisance to me personally

How is life in Qatar anyway?

Sure,

so I've been doing marketing for a good few years, from one man bands up to the Radison Blu in Leeds. I've managed Pay Per Click (PPC) from monthly rages of £300 a week up to nearly £50,000 a week. My ROI differs, but generally is minimum of x5. In some cases (such as Ashmount Country House) they invested £250 (for PPC) and recieved £20,000 profit per month off it.

Marketing is very hard done by (personally speaking) well I say that as I do performance marketing I guess, anyone who does brand marketing, seo crap like that, I'll happily ignore, as I have to work x10 harder to get a client because of them.

Life in Qatar is good, im back and forth, HOPEFULLY going to work for a big company in the next month, which will be the end of my self employed working. But I can't leak that yet

seo crap like that

Our team are focused solely on this at the minute, no matter how much we tell them that it's traffic that is the driving force. "Our analytics show that this page has no <h2> tags, this is driving down our ranking!", "Why aren't we top of Google when I search X?" and so forth..

Basic Seo is good if you plan to use Google ads, basic meaning h2 tags etc. Instead of per click being 50p normally it can drop to about 22p (or less)

I think this thread, speaks a tonne of sense;

The email's CTA wasn't really COME BACK, it was more pushed towards the box.

But the next email... should be excellent.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of being blamed for nothing being done - apart from the register page wanting to be done, I can't say I've seen much else done apart from The Box! Not saying the register thing isn't gonna help (I have no idea if it will) - but this isn't the only thing you should be able to do.
