Built-in Advertising Unit

This new feature allows you to advertise products individually with a built-in advertising unit that does not occupy any space in the 3×3 layout in your retail stores, factories, farms and warehouses.

Gone are the days when you could only set one advertising budget with media for all the products you were promoting. Built-in advertising units now allow you to set different advertising budgets for different products.

Click the Built-in Advertising icon to access the new Built-in Advertising menu, as shown above.

You can link multiple media firms to the built-in advertising unit. Then click the [Back] icon at the bottom-right of the window to return to the 3×3 layout.

You can now select any product in your firm and use the advertising slider to set its monthly advertising budget. The budget is set as a percentage of your total monthly advertising budget designated in the built-in advertising interface.

For example, suppose your built-in advertising system is linked to three media firms, each with a monthly budget of $100,000, for a total of $300,000. If you set a product’s advertising budget to 20%, its monthly budget will be $60,000 ($300,000 x 20%).

Another notable improvement is that advertising from factories is now far more practical. Previously, players rarely used factory‑based advertising due to limited space. With the updated system, factories can advertise easily, opening up new strategic options and gameplay possibilities.
