Don't update advertising spent

Post by piermario »

Hi, with the latest release 12.0.82 - RealWorld 15.23, my 24.178 $ of advertising has not updated, even though 4 months have passed.
Please see the attached screenshots and savegame.
Thanks

Hi Piermario,

You can set the advertising percent sliders for individual products and you will see the advertising expenses.

For more details, please see: https://www.capitalismlab.com/built-advertising-unit/

Ciao, in same gameplay suddenly without reason i sell to 0 my product frozen lamb, see screenshot,
updated savegame: https://www.listaviaggi.com/AUTO.zip

Furthermore, some of my competitors have a graph with zero sales in their product summary, but if I go to the shop page I see that they regularly sell and purchase that product.

I advertised by doubling the budget but in the summary it always shows zero and also the rating never goes up, even to my competitors.

thanks
P.

Hi Piermario,

I found that there is a bug with the display of advertising spending amount on the product detail report. But it is only a display bug and the actual advertising effect is working properly. You can see the advertising amount from the Corporate Detail report's advertising page. I have reported this bug to the dev team and they will fix it in the next patch v12.0.83.

I tested your game by increasing the advertising budget to maximum (over $1M) and set the percentage to 100% and the brand awareness rating went from 0 to 7. You could give it a test this way and see if the brand rating increase.
