For example, enter an offer of $2.5 million as 2500. The minimum annual contract offer is $500k (entered as 500). A contract offer entry of $0 for a given celebrity indicates that the celebrity will receive no offer. The maximum annual contract offer is $30 million (entered as 30000). In a given year, offers may be made to as many celebrities as are available, however a company will be awarded no more than 3 celebrity contracts in the same year. When making offers to multiple celebrities in the same year, it is recom- mended that you prioritize the offers and set a spending cap for the year (to guard against winning more contracts than intended). In a given region, the maximum affective celebrity appeal total is 300. When the sum of the appeal indexes in a given region reaches 300, no additional market impact is gained by signing more celebrities.

For example, enter an offer of $2.5 million as 2500. The minimum annual contract offer is $500k (entered as 500). A contract offer entry of $0 for a given celebrity indicates that the celebrity will receive no offer. The maximum annual contract offer is $30 million (entered as 30000). In a given year, offers may be made to as many celebrities as are available, however a company will be awarded no more than 3 celebrity contracts in the same year. When making offers to multiple celebrities in the same year, it is recom- mended that you prioritize the offers and set a spending cap for the year (to guard against winning more contracts than intended). In a given region, the maximum affective celebrity appeal total is 300. When the sum of the appeal indexes in a given region reaches 300, no additional market impact is gained by signing more celebrities.
