Newspaper readership is declining, so print ads often go unnoticed, especially by young people.  There are more cable TV channels and satellite radio options than ever before, so a broadcast campaign on one or a few stations is less effective than it used to be.  And take a look at how much junk mail you get at home!

You need to grab potential customers in new ways, and there are very few marketing methods that customers VOLUNTARILY WANT TO participate in.  A Malley Advergame is one of those rare exceptions.  Do you really think someone opens up your city newspaper and says "Oh boy, I can't wait to read that XYZ Tool Company ad!!!" Of course not -- but they WILL happily play your advergame, and often they'll invite their friends to play it too!  And if they'll pay your advergame, they'll be exposed to your company in some way for 5-30 minutes. Then it's up to you to keep them interested. 

The cost can vary greatly.  Simple games, or ones that are non-exclusive, are quite inexpensive when compared to the cost of a typical newspaper ad or TV or radio campaign. Exclusive customized games that are very complex can run from $10,000 to beyond $100,000, limited only by your imagination and budget. Malley Advergames specializes in cost-effective, "bang for your buck" advergames in the $1000-$15,000 range.  Call us to discuss your needs and ideas and we'll provide you with suggestions and a quote.

Yes, if you buy multiple products from us.

Let's define "have" first.  Some of our games are stock games that we can sell to multiple clients, with just a simple change made to each (like your company logo being inserted).  So you don't "own" those.   On the other hand, we can create a completely new, unique, game just for you. It can be a game similar to other styles you've seen, or it can be something really different, limited only by your imagination.

In either case, you often can have the game on your site for as long as you want.  If you only are promoting a product for a short period of time, you can pull the game off the web as soon as you wish.  In most cases, you are not paying for "time", unlike a print or broadcast campaign.   

It varies from case to case. Factors involved include the complexity of the game and the already-scheduled workload of our available programmers and designers. A non-exclusive, already produced game could be up on your site within 7-10 days.  A big budget game being worked on at a busy time would take quite a bit longer.
