[Deptheads] Marketing

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

Umm...I have read a lot recently about "if they aren't back they won't come  
back" and so forth.  My 2 cents is that this weekend I joined a group in  
Anaheim that are pretty serious miniatures gamers.  I told them I was with  
Strategicon and the 2 questions I got was "Are they still around" and "when is  that 
anyway". 
 
I have LONG advocated getting groups to the convention because that  
increases the word of mouth factor dramatically.  That is one reason I'm  doing what 
I'm doing, it will attract "groups" who will spread word through  their members.
 
I'm not going to give any suggestions for marketing, because as I've been  
told before on this forum "Let people who know about RPGs make RPG  decisions."  
If a group of 15 rabid gamers in Anaheim don't even know  Strategicon 
exists...maybe something can be done there.

P.S. It looks like 8 or 9 of this group will be going to Strategicon for  the 
1/700 GQ this time around, and I may have another lead on a M&M group to  
come out.
