Tapping the gaming communtiy

There is a huge market that marketers will have a hard time getting into but if they could it would be a tremendous success. Online gaming has grown to become one of the largest online activities out there. I;m not talking about going to a website and playing an advergame, I'm talking about gamers playing on separate platforms such as PS3, xbox, and WII. These platforms have taken online gaming to new heights and there are millions of players each day that are waiting to be advertised to.

I play call of duty quite a bit with my roommates and the game will tell you how many people are playing at that exact time around the world. generally it is between 4 and five HUNDRED THOUSAND. The craziest thing about it is that that is only one game at one particular moment. Between each game there is usually about a 2 minute wait before the next game, seems like a perfect time for a mountain dew commercial. Maybe there are restrictions or maybe they just have not thought about it yet but the opportunities are out there if anyone wants to grab them.

  1. This is so true Facebook is out there for the world to see and most people don’t realize that it is public information just like your address in the phone book. You make a great point about professional pictures. It true keep it to the Polaroid’s. Also Facebook can be a great business tool if you keep it professional because employers do look at Facebook and it is a great way to get noticed. So get out there and look sharp.
