I'm actually surprised at how bad the design of some of the ads in cw are. I also completely understand that they may not have the budget for graphic design. I guess it's better they put their resources into product development rather than marketing.
Crappy looking ads are unfortunate for the mag publisher though.
"'Tis far better to be spoken of poorly than to not be spoken of at all!"
Wrong. An ad doesn't 'work' if no one buys anything as a result of it and/or it leaves a poor impression on potential customers.
Posts on a thread about an ad are not the same as purchases, which I think is obvious to about everyone. If people do continue to buy or buy Seismic regardless of the crappy ad, it won't be because of either the ad nor this thread. But don't feel too bad, at least you know how to count to 23

It's the kind of ad that might appeal to the lunkheaded, drooling, and unthinking zombies out there, but I believe it's possible most CW subscribers would not care to be put into that category.
Well, thank you and I would not be so presumptuous.
"No one?" So your professional insight into this advertisement is Seismic's sales will fall to ZERO?
Tell us what else qualifies you to critique the effectiveness of a national advertising sales campaign?
he said that noone will buy from seismic BECAUSE of the ad, as in the ad will not increase seismics sales.
and he is qualified because he represents the target audience, and the people in the thread represent a fair porsion of the readers of cw, and none of us were pleased

that man has too much style
And he doesn't "represent" the target audience. He is one mistaken voice in a sea of many.
you always seem to hate elementalzoo

Most print ads are all but invisible to me. The majority of skate ads that I see do virtually nothing to "hook me." I think that the skate industry really needs to step it up, both from a creative standpoint and and execution standpoint.

Ditto for me. I agree completely. I'm totally unfazed/unaffected by ads showing a dude on a board/using gear/holding gear.

P-Man, your incessant vitriole and insinuation, inability to comprehend the concept of context, and general crankiness never ceases to crack me up.
Did I actually write that I thought their "sales will fall to ZERO" ( emphasis on capital letters LOL )? And when did anyone here require explanation of any kind of "qualification" in order to post an opinion?
If that's the case, none of us should write a reply ever , including yourself.
As far as I know, all ads are visible to everyones eyes. Not just the 'qualified'.
