There are over 14 million accounts in Second Life®. That is a population the size of Holland, Belgium and Eire combined. Can any company afford to ignore such a large market?
In the last sixty days around 1.4 million residents logged in.
The in world economy saw transactions exceeding GB£400,000,000 in 2009.
In-world currency, that is money brought into Second Life® and entering circulation at the end of 2010 was L$7 billion which equates to GB£20,000,000.
However, in addition to the above, we have grown our visitor numbers to 7,000 unique visitors each month and many times that number in repeat visits. These are all potential customers of tourist and other Highland businesses.
Once acquired, it is unlikely that prestigious attractions will ever be relinquished by sponsors owing to our policy of providing grandfathered rates to our early adopters.

Attraction
Sponsorship: There are a growing number of
attractions in the Virtual Scottish Highlands which are crying out to be
sponsored by you and to promote your company and product. Examples are
the Story of Scotland Exhibition in Fort Augustus Abbey; Scottish Places
Exhibition in the replica Balnain House; the Crystal Maze game; the
Nessie Hunt game; spooky Boleskine House (shown here); the Gaelic Centre; the Rare Breeds
Farm; the Ice Rink; the Cinema; the Church; the Caledonian Canal working
locks and swing bridge; the Heritage game etc. Sponsorship of these
items starts from £25 per month with a minimum of twelve months and
involves your business or product being prominently displayed.
Sim
Sponsorship: The next stage of sponsorship is a sim. A sim is
held on a server and the server space costs us money. Sponsorship of a
sim starts at £85 per month and is for a minimum of one year with a
rolling three month contract. Signs
announce your sponsorship as the sim is entered and/or exited as shown
here. We would like to set up a number of low grade sims to enhance the
scenic feel of the Virtual Scottish Highlands. We would also like to set
up a Culloden sim which is likely to be exceedingly busy. Check out our
development map
page. Click the image for more about the real Loch Ness Centre.
Special
Project Sponsorship: Sponsorship projects do not always have to
be static buildings or exhibitions. With Jacobite Cruises we have
engineered a series of cruises and water taxis on Loch Ness which
promote Jacobite's "Experience Loch Ness" in the Virtual Scottish
Highlands. Do you have a similar project? It may cost less than you
think. Please
ask for a quote. Click the image to find out more about the
real Jacobite Cruises.
Although there are a growing number of opportunities, prestige sponsorship locations can only become more scarce. Once acquired, it is unlikely that they will be relinquished as we intend to offer our early adopters grandfathered pricing. Don't delay contact us today.
