Commerce Guide?

Does anyone have a guide to commerce in this game? 

Commerce is at the moment basically useless. 
Spend your resources on developing the car and win your bonuses instead. That makes a lot more money than what commerce can give. 

Popularity in merchandise is fixed rate times 5 or is it switched off?

Good results stays at 5, poor results stays at 5.
asking for too much it stays at 5, asking for too little stays at 5.

Granted my team doesn't have a fan base to affect the value but is there no other way of increasing the popularity? Could reputation points be changed to team fan base?

5000 = 5 popularity
6000 = 6 "
7000 = 7 "
so on and so fourth :)

M8, you see this guy commented almost 2 YEARS ago? :/

Must've searched through a wormhole :D

James, the commerce facility is largely undeveloped for reasons that were stated long long ago in a different thread.

On a side note, I don't think the commerce facility will be useful until we are allowed to hire more employees (more than 200) and teams are required to pay those employees per race, rather than simply paying to upgrade or downgrade the number of employees in different departments.

Wasn't much point starting new thread :D

Same with football merchandise is a key part of income.

Teams have die hard fans that stay with the team no matter what. Some fans just go where their favorite driver goes. Autograph sessions & press releases, Fan & sponsor track days all help to generate a fan base.

Drop employees from other areas you can have 32 marketers. But the number available is not the issue, the more popular something is the more money it will bring in.
Should be hard make money & hard to have the best of best. There is just too much free income from sponsors. It's a managing game not just a racing game.
Some drivers bring you fans, some pay you to let them drive others rip hand out of you for big bucks to drive. If there was a signing fee every time you renewed a contract you would soon change your views on commerce being a waste of time lol

This would be what you where talking about.
