There are many companies who will monitor advertisements specifically in the gaming industry to make sure all the rules are followed and the correct procedures are taken. For example, ensuring the market specifications for the product are suitable for the age rating & content of the game its self. One of these companies who will specifically monitor advertisements is ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) Their aim is to:
Make regulating online ads successful. Taking a responsibility within the social issues that appear in advertising today. Being more involved in the notion of prevention instead of finding a cure for the issue. Relating more to the consumers their businesses and the society they are linked to. A basic website is 59.91 a year to keep. A basic press release is 59.91 per release. A more advanced press release can range between 96.21 and 150.67 The current monthly price for a billboard is 500-1500 depending on location and size.

Depending on the context of the game it may take a little longer than this image depicts, however we hope to present this to Apple as well as the leapster app market within 3-4 months after beginning the initial development. Full release 9 months from start date (for the Christmas period) on the leapster tablet, 1 year for other devices such as Nintendo DS and Sony. Price upon release will be 7 only for the school system Moving up to an RRP of 12 depending on popularity and a lite version for 1.99 With the main target schools from my research I have discovered there are 25,000 state primary schools in the UK, with the total at the moment at 4.4 million students in primary if we estimate to sell between 100-150 games to these schools we are looking at figures of:
Price per unit Number of units 100 Number of units 150 7 17,500 26,250 12 30,000 45,000 TOTAL 47,500 71,250 With the main target being schools upon release we also have considered selling to households on Apple, Android and leappad devices, all being the same price as to not show favouritism between software systems. If we were to average the 4.4 million primary school children out in to 2 per family and both children had their own devices the sales figures would be estimated as follows: Unit per house hold (avr 2.2mil) Cost per unit 1 26.4 million 2 52.8 million Android number of users UK (2013) IOS number of users UK (2013) 36.9% using android 2.5million users 28.5% 8.5million users ITEM COST PC UNITS X3 1473.63 STENCYL PROGRAM 361.95 LOCATION (1 YEAR) 4784 ADVERTISING (3 METHODS) BASIC pcm 4 month intervals in case sales drop 1859.46 PHOTOSHOP X3 at rrp 667.20 2001.6 STAFF 205,731.19 TOTAL 216,211.83
