Majority of the larger programs are passing on this years Internext party battles.

Read about it here the reasons...

hi serge :1orglaugh

Your signature text line for Porno Junkies is spelled wrong, you should fix that....

$2.53 (pay pal preferred) :thumbsup

Porno Jukies

:)

hey are you a sig Whore... are you on the list?

We will be mailing all sig whores tomorrow who emailed PlatinuM Bucks

what list? and hell no, im not a wig shore!

Sig whores make more money then 90% of people on GFY

No seriously being a SIG whore IMO is easy money

doing what you do anyway but have a signature of say Platinum Bucks on your signature line and get paid.,

the tgp party just gets bigger and bigger

how much are sig whores getting?

Makes no sense to waste $. $ is tighter and does not flow like water anymore. I am hoping the lack of parties will bring out more drugs!

PJ rocks ! :)

Platinum Bucks ALWAYS throws a good party. Fuck the one last year in Vegas was great! The one in Miami was incredible too!

Shit I'm just glad Dave lets me show up and drink all his beer! God bless him! :glugglug

DH

Yup, even if its not an extravagant strip club, just a hospitality suite is fine by me. A lot cheaper and still nice to socialize people. Thanks for the parties Dave!

WG

Fuck we should throw the next party at Taco Bell!

Wiredguy, Jswing and I will be having a massive gay dance party! :thumbsup

DH

maybe your income is going down - mine isn't.....

Putting up 50k for a party makes no sense to me, no matter how much $$ u make. :2 cents:

The best party I had at FLA internext was hanging out at the strip club with Meni and getting digits from strippers!

Who gives a fuck?

I am going for business...Screw the parties.

Now THAT I will agree with. :thumbsup

Platinum Bucks gatherings are usually very laid back and cool. Nice place to talk shop too.

Sleazy as of Dec 1 I am up about 35% over last year. I was making a general statement. Although I am up, I am spening less $ than ever, and saving.

Leased car payment...Soon to be wife payment....New Lexus payment.....

Saving huh? :glugglug

I think you and the frugal choker should hang out. :winkwink:

DH

Perhaps Brad could use a hotdog cooker.

Hook me up with where to get one and I will send it to him for Christmas.

So the real question is if I buy drinks for 500 webmasters, are they going to send me traffic as a result?

Do you really have to spend $20K-50K to impress people that your product is good?

Bottom line is the business is now getting taken over by professionals and if you ar not offering something to make them money they will know it and not buy, regardless of how much booze you throw down their throat.

There will always be a place for the conventions and they wil stay with us, because the networking done around the bars and on the show floor will always pay well enough.

I'm missing out on Internext this year, first time in years, but found at Miami and Prague gor more than enough business for the price of a T-Shirt with my name embroidered on it.

Damn... Less parties filled with drunken idiots who haven't sold a membership to anything in their lives.

I think it's a step in the right direction to eliminate the large numbers of gigantic parties. This way the companies can spend less money, and concentrate on the people that do bring them the cash. :2 cents:

Speaking of parties... be sure to stop by Webgurl's hotel room. If you haven't got your invite yet, post in the other thread and we'll see what we can do to fit you in. :)

thread url?

I already send you traffic...now about that drink :glugglug

Panda Express?

Hahahahahaah! That's where the real VIP party will be at...With Zoe in a panda suit. :1orglaugh

Great! Maybe this time it will be about business!!! :thumbsup

Although we are contemplating booze @ our booth :) to get the deals going..hahaha.

You are kidding about this statement right?

That is a very good point. Spending 100,000 on a party does not make your PRODUCT good and if your PRODUCT is not converting then no matter how many parties you throw you arent going to retain any traffic if a webmaster sends you some traffic.

Guess XBIZ awards and Players Ball are going to be busy this year... still are some parties

Heh probably not

I send you a little traffic, but you dont have to buy me a drink for it

Everyone else can buy me drinks... but your name aint JB you dont get the traffic

Oh except for cecash, they get some of my traffic to...

But lens if you bought me a steak, I'd send you more traffic ;)

So Thats what that shirt was for ?? You Shameless whore :1orglaugh

No Mike ............There has been more and more "suits" appearing at every gathering, bean counters who watch the bottom line . Its all busines to them , not that it is a bad thing :2 cents:

Platinum Dave:: Majority of the larger programs are passing on this years Internext party battles. Usually its who has the best parties, this year looks like who is throwing a party.

What happened?

answers...

- Acacia
- Visa charge backs
- Marketing return not worth money spent

------------------------------------------------

All of these are excellent points - stable companies are feeling hit hard to the point of shutting down, content providers sales are dropping, webmasters are closing shop for the reasons mentioned above.

Still - there can be money made and to not be at the show means a missed opportunity if you are there for the purpose of doing business. I think that Internext will have to revisit their idea that everyone now is not really prepared to spend thousands on a trip and to be more fiscal in developing a show or they too will not be able to survive.

Although I have always enjoyed Platinum's parties :)

Thanks Slim!
So get your ass down to FL after I move.
And we can do that every night
I'm not even going to Vegas this year.
