First: Iterate on Shares.
- Have them securely transferred to other characters.
- Bring a Shares market.

Why? - to attract investors and members!
Cool! - and... bankrupt corporations go into administration under EVE Central Bank. These corporations appear on a universe-wide tab on the Market Browser under 'corporations'.



Next: This thread's idea, maybe.

Well, we can already have our corporation be advertised on login screen. But...
How else could we advertise? - How would I want to advertise?

Have your corporation be advertised in solarsystems, to constellations up to region-wide advertising!
- Stations: Your corporation would appear on the player-viewer's holograph television with their Shares value.
- Office: If walking in stations (WiS) ever happens, the station with corporate office are freely auto-advertised within the WiS zones.
- Space: Additional 'NPC commercial ships' rotate around solarsystem's populated areas advertising your corporation.
(so yea i totally agree )
- API: Somehow third-party applications can see these advertisements, which then can be Shared. Act of sharing is common. Find any article on a popular games informer, read an article and find 'Share button'.
- API: Social Media intergration. You corporation's social media website can use an application for advertising, maybe.

Click screen > Open Corporation info window > Press Shares tab > Purchase.

Total Supported,

Buy eve time on the big screen TV in station!! To will advertise your corporation/alliance. Can be done via isk/plex Think about CCP The money you could generate.

Secondly Advertising on CONCORD Billboards in High Sec.

Place Name on Products Built by Corporations.. So if i build a rifter, it will say BUILT buy Teshania. If i built it with as a Corporation Job it Will say Built by Aliastra/Gallente Federation, also it will skin the Ship with the Corperation/Allaince Logo!!

Go if you want to trade mark a Logo Charge us 1 plex for Every 3 Months and the Ship skinning is free every time we build something.

This is a World of Corporations trying to make a living, by providing some form of services with inside your sandbox. Gives us ways to Advertise outside of the forums and Spamming different Chat Channels!

Something I saw today has compelled me to post.

I was in Dodixie and saw some chap advertising a "Salvaging Service" in local for level 4 mission runners. After watching him futily talking in local for a little while I was leaving the system and noticed he had cans up on the gates advertising aswell. He was offering a very competative rate a 60-40% split in loot and salvage ISK in the mission runners favour. Everything about the idea was pretty good (except the fact he was advertising in a trade hub, not a mission hub), except I couldn't help but feel like it was futile and slightly pathetic.

Now imagine this same chap had a billboard, which he could somehow link to a webpage advertising it, plus an add on the CQ screen in a major mission running hub. He would be rolling in it. I hear people advertising salvaging services all the time, but I've never heard of anyone earning good ISK out of it. It seems a shame that such a basic and potentially profitable service is limited as a business because there is no way to get people to want to use it. CCP says that salvaging is a career path, but it isn't. Not on its own, but it would be if you could advertise yourself.

Rant over. Also, thanks everyone for the support. Criticism is welcome.

Possible source for an isk sink based on traffic through the system much like the cost of offices in a station.

10 billboard max, and it costs more the longer it's occupied.



Anything is better than those cans.

It could turn into 'Vanity' isk sinks. But when over 70% of the eve population lives in highsec, your ad will be seen by most!

Being able to put ads on the billboards would be cool. It would also make a good ISK sink.

Honestly i have been thinking of getting together a group of noctis pilots and offering professional salvaging services. the advertising billboard would make it easier to start a more specialized company such as freight salvage or services rendered


while i support the above post i absolutely refuse to have targeted adverts eg Popups

Well, I had considered a mod that created a floating hologram above your ship. The hologram could just show the alliance logo holograms in the same way that the Territorial Claims Unit does.

Hopefully soon we will have "Walking in Stations Corporate Office Quarters" (I've seen the signs!), and so other corps or players could pay to have posters up in other corporations offices.

Ps; I am updating the original post to include some current pros and cons. Thanks everyone for your input, keep it coming.

No.

i'm seeing more than enough ADs out of EVE already.

As long as i'm not searching for a new corp ingame for some reason, i don't want to see anything about it.

No you dont. You see renamed cans, people's bios, spam mail, local spammers, and people putting bounties on themselves to show up on the bounty board.

If you give people a way to officially advertise, it can be limited and regulated so that the annoyance you convey can be kept to an all time low. If anything, you should be supporting this thread to get rid of all the damn spam.
