SL International Business

This is what happened with first advertiser with Mainostaulu network.

He bought with 200L$, 100L$ to each campaign, wanted 50L$ time-unit bid, i gave him a lot of bonus as early adopter. So, he had 2 campaigns, with both having a weight of second highest.

This is the actual conversation after which i muted him, altho this results to triple checking the credits accounting portion of the system.

[2:05] Tyrian Camilo: Hi
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: Your campaign has already been displayer for tens worth of L$
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: i’m assuming it will last approximately 3days more with the current bid
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: tho, there is now about 60 locations
[2:06] Advertiser: really?
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: 50-60
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: Yeap
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: i’ll give you more details
[2:06] Tyrian Camilo: i’m hoping to do some metrics today
[2:07] Advertiser: then i guess its a jip…i thought i had bought two months.
[2:07] Advertiser: but i knew it was a scam.
[2:07] Tyrian Camilo: Anastacia 1, Bid 50, Credits 93.150L$, Weight 223
[2:07] Advertiser: but its cool
[2:07] Advertiser: you live you learn.
[2:07] Advertiser: lates.
[2:07] Tyrian Camilo: Anastacia 2, Bid 50, Credits 64.844L$, Weight 216
[2:07] Tyrian Camilo: WtF?
[2:07] Tyrian Camilo: I explained you in detail how it works
[2:08] Tyrian Camilo: So don’t call it scam
[2:08] Advertiser: its a scam…you said two months…
[2:08] Tyrian Camilo: 2 Months of Airing time DOES NOT EQUAL 2 Months on ALL Billboards
[2:08] Tyrian Camilo: It means 2 Months of Total Airing Time
[2:08] Advertiser: then its a scam…what good is to show the ad ones in all the screens?
[2:09] Tyrian Camilo: They are rotated, chosen randomly by weight
[2:09] Advertiser: its okay..T you run your scam your way…
[2:09] Tyrian Camilo: i explained to you in detail
[2:09] Advertiser: yeah two months is what i paid for…
[2:09] Tyrian Camilo: Actually you paid for the current bid to have a total of 4 Months airing time
[2:09] Tyrian Camilo: 1/4 of it has been shown already, you are suspecting a bug in the system?
[2:09] Advertiser: not 3 days on 60 screens…but like i said your scam your rules…its cool.
[2:10] Tyrian Camilo: You wanted high weight
[2:10] Tyrian Camilo: I gave you high weight
[2:10] Tyrian Camilo: minimum price is 35L$/1 Month of airing time (Time-unit)
[2:10] Tyrian Camilo: you wanted 50L$, which is on the high end
[2:10] Advertiser: i wanted an ad that would run for two months a few times a day… maybe i understood wrong,,since its a scam.
[2:11] Tyrian Camilo: 22 boards are currently showing your advertising
[2:11] Tyrian Camilo: Scam is where you are being fooled out of your money, without giving any return
[2:11] Advertiser: and still i have not sold one magazine because of it……
[2:11] Tyrian Camilo: You should of have said straight in the beginning that you don’t want 50L$ bid, but long running time
[2:12] Tyrian Camilo: i’m now lowering your bid
[2:12] Advertiser: i sold more on my own…its cool. like i said your scam your rules. bankers.
[2:12] Tyrian Camilo: Not a scam, a service. My rules, Yes they are, and made for the best of everyone
[2:13] Advertiser: scam….you said two months. 2 months.
[2:13] Tyrian Camilo: i’m also lowering max time to 30 minutes per showing
[2:14] Tyrian Camilo: that means –> your ad will be shown less, the campaign runs for longer
[2:14] Advertiser: the best for you…you say two months and the ad runs a few times on 60 machines and the ad had run out of time…
[2:14] Tyrian Camilo: It’s not out of time
[2:14] Advertiser: but don´t worry about it. pull the ads if you want to.
[2:14] Tyrian Camilo: remember, you paid for 200L$, i gave you a lot of extra due to early adopting and possible bug, from your budget not much has been spent
[2:14] Tyrian Camilo: I’m not pulling them because you paid for them
[2:15] Advertiser: Tyrian Camilo: Your campaign has already been displayer for tens worth of L$ Tyrian Camilo: i’m assuming it will last approximately 3days more with the current bid then what does this mean?
[2:15] Tyrian Camilo: ok, both have now ~92L$, you paid for 100L$ on each, meaning total of ~16L$ spent on the last day, even tho you have getting a lot mor eworth of advertising.
[2:16] Advertiser: it will last 3 days more? how can 3 days more = 2 months?
[2:16] Tyrian Camilo: This converstation is now over, please enjoy your campaign, but do not ask for a new one.
[2:16] Tyrian Camilo: If you do not understand plain english, it is not my problem.
[2:16] Advertiser: scamer.
[2:16] Tyrian Camilo: I explained how the billing works.
[2:16] Advertiser: you said the conversation was over….sacmer.
[2:17] Tyrian Camilo: Now the campaigns should last for a lot longer. You have already gotten approximately 2 months worth of airing time. Be happy.
[2:17] Advertiser: what ever scamer.

(A rough miscalculation there, 1½months of airing time already).

Well, finally my headache is gone, and SL isn’t lagging, i’ll get working on the weekly report.
