How to Book

This is the world’s first automated booking system for placing your own billboard ads in the Metaverse. These exciting 3D billboards offer an alternative and futuristic advertising service to forward thinking brands by straddling both traditional online media (website banners) and traditional DOOH services (shopping mall/roadside billboards IRL). We are currently running the beta version for the popular virtual world, Decentraland, with plans to expand this simple and innovative booking system to other virtual worlds soon.

Metaverse Residents is owned and run by the #1 daily NFT News and media company, NFT Plazas. It is essentially the new Metaverse arm (sister brand) of the business.

This Metaverse advertising solution is the only one of its kind. It enables you to get your message out there to a highly targeted, global audience in a matter of minutes, without the need to build or code.

There has never been a better time to showcase your brand as a thought leader in what is the next evolution of the internet. 

To Book with Crypto:

Simply click here, connect your Metamask, WalletConnect or Coinbase wallet, upload your billboard image, select how many views you want and complete payment in ETH. It’s as simple as that.

We offer 2 sizes of billboard ads in Decentraland.

1. Large – Your billboard design should be exactly 512 x 512px in size, with a file size of no more than 1MB, static jpeg or png only.
2. Small – Your billboard design should be exactly 512 x 340px in size, with a file size of no more than 1MB, static jpeg or png only.

No. Whilst Crypto and NFT related projects are our most frequent clients, we have already worked with many other brands in a wide range of niches such as breakfast cereals, lifestyle brands, champagne producers, gambling partners, conference promotions, record labels, fashion visionaries…the list is endless.

Your billboard will be displayed in all our active Decentraland locations. You can see our list of all our locations below.

No. Even if your billboard design appears many times in the same location, this will still only be counted as 1 view.

Please read our full terms and conditions here for a full breakdown of our terms and conditions.

If you are still unsure after reading our T&C’s, please contact us at contact@metaverseresidents.com as no refunds will be given to any entities attempting to run a prohibited campaign.

Metaverse projects work tirelessly to attract new people to experience their virtual world, so links are very complex to implement at this time.

If linking is important to you, you can always incorporate a QR code or URL into your billboard design.

Each ad campaign comes with a bespoke reporting dashboard which includes total view count and views by in-world location, as well as geo-location and language of each person that has viewed the ad. All reporting is automatically updated every 24 hours.

This is the first version of this Metaverse advertising system. As such, we don’t offer any of the luxuries one may be used to from already established platforms such as geo-targeting, age groups etc.

You must remember that it is still early days for the Metaverse and Web3, and our development will run alongside the technology available to us.

Views are only counted when your billboard ad is loaded and displayed, which is triggered by somebody visiting or passing by our kiosks.

We currently have spam bot protection in place, which aims to prevent bots refreshing the browser and constantly loading up the displays in the same location. This is something we are constantly working to improve in order to protect our ad partners.

If you have had your campaign approved, and you are in Decentraland stood next to one of our kiosks, but your billboard isn’t displaying, it is likely it is on rotation with other partners. If you refresh your browser, depending on how many partners we have at that time, your ad will likely show.

If you see a sudden spike in views on a particular day, it is likely that if you search on social media you will see there was an event hosted near one of our advertising kiosks. We are in premium locations after all, and this is great for exposure!

You will receive an automated email when the amount of views you paid for reaches 10% remaining.

It is not currently possible to pause any live campaigns.

If you wish to end your campaign early, then please contact us at contact@metaverseresidents.com. No refunds are given to campaigns terminated early.

Whilst we plan to add this feature in the future, it is not currently possible during beta.

Please note that once your existing campaign ends your reporting dashboard will stop updating and will be deleted after 7 days from our system.

To continue displaying your banner ads, simply follow the same booking process as before where you will receive a new reporting URL to follow campaign progress.

Please check your spam folder. If you can’t find anything there within 24 hours, contact our team at contact@metaverseresidents.com.

Our Metaverse advertising system works on a pay-per-view basis.

All pricing options are listed further up this webpage.

In Decentraland, there are 2 different size of ads to choose from, small or large, which are priced differently, with small being the cheaper option.

Currently our online booking system accepts cryptocurrency paid in Ether (Ethereum) by connecting either your MetaMask, Coinbase or WalletConnect wallet.

We are also able to accommodate your booking in:

– USDC or USDT (ERC20 only)
– Fiat currency, either $USD or £GBP 

Please contact our team at contact@metaverseresidents.com for either of these options.

We can offer invoicing to businesses who require it. We are a fully registered LTD company based in the UK.

However, payment must be paid prior to any invoices being issued. Please pay for your campaign, then email contact@metaverseresidents.com to request your invoice.

This depends entirely on how many people have viewed your billboard, which is ultimately determined by Decentraland traffic around our locations, and the number of clients we currently have active on our billboards.

After collecting data from May, June and July 2022, we are averaging around 25,000 views per month.

It will take up to a maximum of 24 hours to approve a campaign, although we usually review and approve bookings a lot sooner, depending on your time zone. We thank you for your patience as we strive to continually improve our processes.

You can place as many orders as you like. Each successful order is set up as a new campaign, enabling you to use a different billboard design, select a different amount of views and monitor progress on a unique reporting dashboard for each campaign.

Billboards are displayed on a rotational basis. This means each individual campaign booking is given an allocated slot, and displayed on a rotational basis with other active campaigns/clients. If you want to appear on more slots, more often, then we suggest setting up multiple campaigns.

You will need an image to place as your billboard (png/jpeg). Gifs are not currently permitted.

If you’re booking online, then you can upload any image to our tool and zoom/resize to ensure your image will fit nicely onto our billboards.

If you want to design and upload your own bespoke billboard design, then sizes should be exactly 512 x 512px for the large billboards, and small 512 x 340px.

If you need help with designing a billboard, then our team can help for a small fee. Please contact us.

Once a billboard design has been uploaded and is live in the Metaverse, that campaign is considered active and at this stage we can no longer change the image.

The best way to launch a new billboard design is to create a new campaign by restarting the booking process.

We rarely reject campaigns, but if we do, the main reason would be that your billboard is attempting to promote content from a niche which we do not support. We do this to protect the integrity of our brand, and that of our partners.

In the case of rejection, your campaign would not go live, your billboard would be deleted, and no refund would be given.

We recommend you read our terms and conditions here prior to placing an order with us.

This is so we can send you confirmation of your ad campaign going live, along with the unique reporting link assigned to each new campaign so you can monitor your campaign progress.

We may also send you promotional offers in the future, as well as keep you up to date with new opportunities and the expansion of our service throughout the Metaverse.

We currently take bookings for billboard ads on a request basis in Voxels and Somnium Space, however, traffic is lower than Decentraland and we don’t currently have our pay-per-view system in place yet, so these campaigns are booked on a weekly pricing structure, without any reporting option at the moment.

These ads should be booked with our team at contact@metaverseverseresidents.com or click here.

The Sandbox is currently in Alpha testing phase. Once it goes fully live, we will have opportunities available to place your billboards there as well.

We are currently developing a partnership program which will be available to PR clients only.

Enquiries: contact@metaverseresidents.com or click here.

No refunds are given to approved ad campaigns as your ads will have already gone live and as such, the campaign has started and visitors will immediately begin to see your billboard message.
