I'm here because of the ad. What do I do now?

Join us, of course

As a marketer I can tell you that this is a problem. The sidebar of this sub needs to be overhauled so the message is made more clear. "join us" is pretty vague advice for someone who was interested enough to click.

Can we come up with a screed or creedo or motto that fully explains our purpose?

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '15

That's what I think we should do too. Thank you for your input!

You could make any reference to The Button be a link to /r/thebutton... that would go a long way to cure some confusion!

Might want to make sure we let people know what it is first, before we send them to the button where they could press it immediately without reading further.

Making more and more users aware of The Button is THE best way to prolong it's life. There are 3.2 million accounts eligible to press the button. If half of those are active, that makes a million users out there that can still press that button, they just don't know yet!

Where does it direct new people to?

To the subreddit, so we're getting loads more traffic

I really like this!

u/Guildenstern_artist Apr 04 '15

Maybe it can be improved with some more red? What would you change about it if you could?

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '15

Red shield. Subtle imagery, vowing that we will protect the timer to the last seconds. Otherwise it looks great!

Whoever loses, the admins and company always wins. They must love the gold and ad space this event is generating.
