Research And Development
In our years of experience, we have seen numerous games come and go. One of the biggest sources of failure is the lack of R&D. The creators get caught up in what we call “creative blindness,” loving their game so much that they fail to notice flaws that could potentially doom it. Our panel of experts will test and re-test every aspect of the game, from its rules to its accessibility, from individual cards to the potential metagame. You will be pleasantly surprised what you get back once you let our R&D unit give your product a spin. Sales and telemarketing
We could help you market your product faster and more efficiently. We offer different levels of marketing including commission only based programs.
Event Logistics
Game manufacturers should have a presence at all the major conventions, both demoing your game to thousands of new potential customers and offering tournaments to more seasoned players. But staffing and managing large events takes a lot of time, knowledge and manpower.
We can run all your tournaments and/or demos at all the major conventions like Gen Con, Wizard World and Origins, typically at a lower cost than if you sent your own employees.
We can also coordinate with stores in our network to run demos and special events. When you send a demo kit blindly, many stores may stick it on a shelf and let it gather dust. When you arrange demos through us, you’ll have a much greater chance of the store following through with them.
E-mail Marketing
Developing an e-mail marketing campaign is all about choices, whether it involves newsletters, blogs, promotions and postcards, or auto-responders and triggered emails. How much copy and graphics should you use? What promotions work best and where should promotional elements be placed? How do you best capture the interest of people who quickly scan their e-mail? What words send up red flags from spam filters? The list goes on. We’ll give you top-notch advice to figure it all out.
Print Advertising
With the exception of television and radio this is arguably the most expensive part of any advertising budget. The important thing you need to know is where to advertise. We’ll help you find where to best spend your dollars. We know where, when and how to advertise.
Publicity
Getting the attention of the gaming press and the media at large is crucial to your success. We can write press releases on your behalf and advise you on broader PR strategies.
Feedback
We can work with our affiliate stores to get you crucial information about how retailers and players are responding to your product. From focus groups and CGER to informal surveys, we can provide data that you need to get give you an edge.
