Why are the advertorials closed for discussion?

 

Surely they have more value being open for discussion and allowing the advertiser to answer questions will increase interest and make the advertorial interactive?

 

Yh it could go down in flames but it could be managed in the interests of all parties. 

 

I read the keyvisa one about child passports for Thai children and that's a great topic.

 

Just feeling it has more value for all parties being an open discussion and will create more measurable  ROI anyway.

If you look at most of those advertorials they are posted by ThaiVisa sales not the advertiser. That is why they are closed since the advertiser would not be able to respond.

There are a few forum sponsors that have a username and can post replies.

It depends upon their agreement with ThaiVisa for advertising.

Not allowing a discussion just makes it cannon fodder though and you can't even gauge interests beyond views or maybe the advertisers own response rate. Much more value to be had than a closed for discussion advert.
