The Forgotten Demographic – How Female Gamers Can Make Your Games a Success

The Forgotten Demographic – How Female Gamers Can Make Your Games a Success

Rarely do you walk into a video game store and see many game titles catered exclusively for the female game audience. There is virtually no big box support for such titles as they spend millions of dollars catering exclusively to male audiences. After all, conventional wisdom would suggest that since only games for males are being made, that only males are interested in playing video games. This couldn’t be further from the truth, a fact often overlooked by larger game publishing companies such as EA, Activision or Take-Two. The statistics alone disprove the notion that girls are not interested in spending time playing video games. The Sims is the best selling game of all time and a large amount of its success can be attributed to its loyal female fan base. 40% of all girls in Australia that participated in a survey admitted to spending time online playing video games as well. This is a global trend that as more game enabled devices are available, so does the potential audience for your products. From personal experience I can attest to the power of focusing on the female gamer audience and the amount of success it can bring to your game portals. Hopefully this article can shed some light on what you can do to acknowledge the female audience and entice them to use your product.

Understand Your Audience

This would be common sense regardless of any type of video game or interactive content you would develop but due to the lack of exclusively developed girl titles how would you go about starting? The answer isn’t necessary waiting on a shelf of a game retail store but rather online on a games website or games portal.

Depending on the age range of the female audience you will find some games more popular than others. These games usually have simple and easy to learn game play factors that most professional game developers would consider basic or even in some cases downright primitive. Don’t be fooled by this or dismiss this fact. Its a mistake that many game developers make and hold against working on such games that would otherwise be something the female audience would be interested in.

One of the most popular games website with young girls would be StarDoll.com which is essentially a online paper doll website. Moving various clothing items on a 2d doll is a very simple thing to develop if you have any professional game experience. It is this very simple game mechanic combined with variety of various current celebrities and other incentives that encourage millions of users to return every day to that website.

Dress up games are some of the most popular games with girls with thousands of web game portals devoted exclusively to this genre of game. Other game categories that are popular with female gamers include pet games, makeover games, cooking games and room makeover games. Some of the most popular games with girls may have combined elements of these game categories providing an even more compelling game experience. Almost all of the games popular with the female audience would be categorized under Casual Games.

Doing your homework on what works out there currently on the Internet will help you understand an audience that might be decades younger than you personally and completely different than your own personal preferences for games. It is a challenge you must embark upon to fully capitalize on this market segment and achieve success.

The Online Factor

One of the game categories not mentioned previously are quickly becoming the most popular. Online worlds provide an experience where they can socialize and meet new friends. Important game elements of online worlds would include; the ability to have avatar customization, personalize user rooms and the ability to chat and meet new friends. Some examples would be Club Penguin, Habbo Hotel, There.com and IMVU.

Major companies are taking notice of the immense popularity of online worlds with the female audiences and now feature many similar game elements. The key for anyone looking to compete in this field is to come up with a compelling game mechanic that entices this key demographic of female users.

This type of game might be out of the reach of many small time developers but any game starts modestly so this might be a long term goal for you to reach. Never discount any game idea entirely especially as it can help you in developing some uniqueness. Sometimes combining existing game ideas in a online setting can help set it apart from what is available currently.

Making It Unique

Regardless of the size or scope of your game websites, an important aspect to realize is that uniqueness will help stand you apart from the competition in a very crowded market. My games portal for example specializes in browser based online worlds which require no registration. The benefit of this is you can immediately introduce your user to your game product without having them register or download anything. Consider introducing a unique element such as this into your game or website and you will of taken the first step to capturing some the fastest growing gamer demographic out there.

Utilize The Female Gamer Demographic

Accepting and embracing the fact that your games website caters to female gamers is a very important and strategic move that should be planned for in any games portal website. The market share is so large that the chance you will find success and as an independent developer raises if you do so. This is not the first choice for most professional game developers but I am one hundred percent certain this is the right direction to take a small games website if you want to attract a larger audience. The games you make don’t always have to be exclusively made for a female audience but I think they deserve some consideration.

Hopefully this has shed some interesting light on the often neglected market demographic of female gamers and brings about some success in your endeavors.

Advertising Online Cheaply in the Age of Video Games

Before we talk about the tactics necessary to advertise effectively in a video game crazy world, we have to address a common misconception and show why you must change your train of thought concerning the advertising and marketing process.

Its hard to duplicate the excitement of video games and if you are marketing online, you need to do just that. Due to video games, the ever-growing graphical expectations of todays customers often nullify the expected excitement that a banner ad is supposed to produce. So, unless you sell a necessary consumable product like gasoline, you need to excite your customer.

Many online marketers are experiencing high levels of frustration due to their campaigns lack of measurable results. If you are experiencing this, you need to read this article to understand why this is happening and the easy way to break free of mediocre results. Its not hard. Its just not obvious.

To be successful at online marketing, one needs to be innovative when approaching the subject. It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. Since marketers very easily develop tunnel vision in their quest to achieve a certain goal, it is very common for them to keep throwing money into marketing tactics that have long since stopped being effective. To develop an effective advertising strategy, one has to understand that marketing online is undergoing a major change and just like with the last change called (pay per click), the first marketers that embrace new tactics will benefit the most with the least amount of expense. You see, with change comes a new and fresh way of getting potential customers to understand and interact with the marketers sales pitch, encouraging potential customers to willingly accept the full sales pitch rather than simply tolerating a portion of it.

To do this, marketers have to tweak their strategy of trying to draw customers to their ad and rather take their ad to the customer. By this I mean, make the ad into a beacon where the web surfer wants to be, not just a road sign pointing to your website. Conventional advertising has attempted to pull the customers attention away from the content they were originally looking for, hoping the web surfer will focus on the ad instead.

This tactic has lost and is still losing effectiveness as savvy web surfers increase their ability to ignore ads completely. This is commonly referred to as ad blindness. Thats why pay per impression style advertising gave way to pay per click advertising on many major websites. Due to ad blindness, advertisers began to understand that they werent getting the benefit of what they were paying for. So, advertisers with smaller budgets began moving away from the impression type marketing.

On the contrary, newly emerging advertising tactics are focusing on making the advertisers ad and website the focus of all of the web surfers attention. I will discuss more about this later. So, is there really any correlation between the overwhelming success of the video games industry and the increase in banner ad blindness? You bet there is. Banner ad blindness is getting worse while video game popularity is exploding in growth. One of the reasons for this increase in ad blindness is that many marketers are using the same old wow factor to attract customers. Todays web surfers have a very high expectation of what it takes to wow them.

A banner ad is nothing more than a graphic. In todays world of sophisticated video game graphics, banner ads are seen as low-tech distractions from a web surfers original purpose for getting online that day.

Think about the last time you were having a conversation with someone and you were interested in what they were saying. Now, imagine someone walking/popping up and interrupting the conversation with an irrelevant comment again and again. Thats annoying and you would probably try to avoid that person during your next conversation. Thats how web surfers feel about banner ads and how customer ad blindness develops. This totally negates the excitement that a banner ad needs to generate in order to get clicked. The result is a non-performing banner ad and money out the window if you are advertising on a pay per impression website.

News Flash1 Even the most wondrous things can become non-exciting when it has been viewed for too long. Dont believe me? The Grand Canyon is one of the most awe-inspiring places in the world. Yearly, tourist flock there and say (wow). Locals however use nonchalant answers when asked about certain features of the canyon. Speaking of the depth, length, age, rock formations etc. becomes common. Ask tourists anything about the Grand Canyon and youll hear a report on its depth, length, how they felt when they first saw it, who else was with them, where they entered, where they exited, what route they took, what was funny about the shape of some innocent rock, what bugs they saw and on and on. Locals simply want to convey the information you seek quickly enough to be on their way.

Question: If the Grand Canyon, with its size and all of its wonders, can become common in the eyes of those that see it, what do you think about a 125 X 125 graphic that interrupts the user in their original quest and that has less noticeable detail than a single rock?

If you want to advertise effectively youll have to excite your customer enough for them to give you their time before you will ever get them to give you their money. I said all of that to say this. Once customers recognize advertising they shy away and purposely become blind to it. They can look at a page and instinctively not read the little squared off areas that hold the banners. Surfing the web has trained them not to look at the squares because 95 percent of the time it is something that they are not interested in. Think. On the last five sites that you have visited, what were the banner ads about? Cant remember them can you? Of the last 50 you have seen, how many did you click? News Flash 2: Your potential customers cant remember either and they rarely click.

Newly emerging tactics for getting your ad noticed, clicked and your websites full content read and accepted is to do things like advertise your website on web properties that make your ad part of the users experience. Its been proven that consumers love games and pay unprecedented attention to every aspect of games.

Embed your advertisement in an online game. Game websites like TypoBounty dot com allow users to help you clean your web properties. Users focus on what you have to say and that is what gets the sell done. You can have the best product in the world but if no one knows about it, it is useless. Whats the use in writing a great sales pitch if no one actually reads it. The more your customer reads, the more opportunity you have to sell. Get your ad into an online game and take advantage of the worldwide web wind that the video game market has created.

Cost Effective Advertising in a Recession With Branded Flash Games

The current global recession has made it essential to get the most out of ever decreasing advertising budgets. Are branded Flash games worth considering as part of your advertising efforts?
Branded web based Flash games can be a great, fun, engaging way to advertise your brand, product or service online. They offer a number of advantages over traditional advertising, at a fraction of the cost. Branded games are a great way to get potential customers onto your website, keep them there far longer than they would usually visit and encourage repeat visits. Your game can directly feature the product or service you are trying to promote, or simply highlight the main benefits and problems it solves. Using branded Flash games encourage players to interact with your brand in a way that’s just not possible with traditional, passive advertising.
Because you’re offering a great, addictive game for people to play, your audience are less likely to even perceive what they are viewing as an advert. As long as you don’t overdo the advertising element within the game, you can get your marketing message across to your audience, without the negative feelings associated with some other forms of online advertising. Plus, a branded game will usually engage your audience for many times longer per visit than other forms of advertising. The player is seeing your advert for the full duration of game play, which can add up to minutes rather than seconds on average.
When effectively distributed, they can offer potential exposure far above and beyond what you could get for a similar spend using traditional advertising. It’s not unusual for branded games to get millions of plays and after the initial production and distribution costs, they can continue working for you over the long term. Unlike traditional advertising, branded Flash games can continue to provide good brand exposure years after initial launch.
Targeting a particular demographic with a branded Flash game is difficult, so we don’t recommend them for niche market products or services. The nature of the internet means your game will be available to a worldwide audience of online game players, which covers a broad age range as well as geographical location. If you’re trying to increase awareness of a mass market product the potential exposure is massive and can help launch a product to a new, worldwide audience.
Despite all these advantages, it’s extremely important to find the right developer for your branded Flash game. Just getting your branded game produced and including it on your website isn’t enough to guarantee success. Distributing your branded game to a large number of online games portals and community sites, as well as including your game on your own website, is recommended for best results. This way you’re not relying on player pass-ons to dictate the success or failure of your game. Finding a Flash game developer with expertise in both branded Flash game development, to give you the best possible interactive experience for your brand, and the distribution needed to get the most out of your branded game will ensure you get the best possible return on your investment, in these tough financial times.
