Forums - Sony - LBP Marketing Challenge

Many of you know that LBP is an important title in terms of increasing the PS3 install base and it would be a damaging blow if LBP flopped so for a little fun your misssion should you choose to accept it is to Market LBP to sell at least a 2 million units.

every million you sepnd is considered a point e.g " I spent 10 points aka $10 mill"   the upper limit of your budget is 35 Points ( $35 M)you can go over but you're likely to get fired by Sony unless it's very effectivley spent.It's your responsibility to calculate the rought cost's of your marketing strategy and the give an estimate of how many units of LBP it will sell.

Revenue ( Assuming 60$ Retail Price and Sony gets 60% of this)

1 Million Sales = 60 Points  Sony's Revenue 36 Points

2Million Sales =  120 Points Sony's Revenue 72 Points

3Million Sales = $180 M  Sony's Revenue 108 Points

4Million Sales= $240 M Sony's Revenue 144 Points

 

 

Example of expenditure


LBP Bundle & Limited 30$ Price Cut  (200,000 PS3 Unit & 200,000 LBP's ) = ( 200,00 X $90 ) = 18 Points

4 Points worth of National LBP adverts

 

Estimates sales profit 72 Points -22 Points = 50 Points = $50 M

 

No real calculation has to go into your expenditure it can be a guess.

i was not expecting a homework assignment when i entered this thread.



me neither...

they need to do across the demographic advertising, total sweep. Makes me ill when I see Madden commercials on Sportcenter all end in Xbox Live...F***!!! buy some advertising time damnit...

They need to pick 5 target shows for ads and buy em up...Pardon the Interuption, local sports games, saturday moring cartoons, Simpsons / family guy repeats and some stupid reality show...and buy em up.

Many of you have probably seen the Amazon video ad for LBP already, but now Walmart has jumped on that same ship and have their own exclusive LBP video as well.

I am pretty sure you will see these playing on the TV's around your local Walmart. Seems they will be advertising this game very well.






Hmm, this seems like a lot of work for a "game". This should take a while.


iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
