I want to know how advertising their Avatars and Signatures provides funds for the sponsors or is it that they just actually want their Signatures or their Avatars to be advertised to the public?
Before now, there were so many companies I never knew existed, but when I joined the forum, I saw so many companies being advertised here using their individual signatures and avatars. And I know there are many other people too who only found out about most companies here on Bitcointalk forum.
Using campaign members to advertise their businesses is not a wasteful spending because, it brings the company or business into existence and makes the business visible to many. Now these companies can now get patronages from all over the world. These means an increased customer base for these companies. Yea, businesses will make more money when they get more customers/clients patronising them.
