[Deptheads] Marketing

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

As the one who started the discounts, I do want to say I am VERY happy that  
you all as the new owners have kept it going.  
 
honestly, as far as getting the word out...it only takes one or two members  
of a group to see something to get the word to everyone else.  Have we  
contacted Blizzard to see how much they would charge for a ONE DAY advertisement  
promoting us?  If we could do it on a Tuesday, that is the day they do  their 
updates and most players check in that day to download the latest patch  and so 
forth...
 
Hope is that out of a gaming group of 10, 2 will see this ad and let  
everyone else know about it....as well as people asking their guilds about it on  
that day.

Day, Westside Gamers, Bakersfield Board Gamers. Also the main page  announces 
Group Discount which is very good. 
 
More groups is a good idea.  I will start putting the above  list in my 
marketing spam on forums and such and see if that generates some  movement.   
However, the main thing we offer gaming groups is the  chance to play with new 
people and try new games.   For many home  gamers, that is not an incentive.   
 
What ideas do you have to find these private groups?  If they can be  found, 
they can be contacted which is at least a first step.
