The different kinds of Gamers

admin — Sat, 09 Oct 2010 02:22:04 +0000

After VCon, I was thinking of the various customers we met face-to-face and started breaking them up into various segments of the market by buyer / gaming behavior. I thought I’d share it with you, since it was a kind of useful for me to review against the games I brought. I’m writing this with relation to the con itself, though obviously the groups are probably true too on an everyday business. Casual Gamers These are individuals who will play board games, but aren’t seriously into gaming in any form. They might pull out a game once in a while, during special events or parties, but generally dedicate very little of their time to gaming. They drop by to see what’s new, to browse and are more likely to buy on impulse; whether because the theme, the brand name (e.g. Starcraft ) or a good sales pitch. You’re unlikely to see them again if they walk away from the booth; except maybe next year

VCon 2010 – a combined Steampunk event

admin — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 23:21:38 +0000

This was our fourth year at VCon , and as always we had a blast. VCon this year was a combined event with VSteam – a Steampunk group that has been growing in popularity in Vancouver. It’s a great sub-culture, and this year, people were out in style with a variety of costumes from the period. The first day (Friday) was a tad of a mess, with tables not arriving and most people scrambling to get set-up. The vendor’s room looked to be about a time and a half in size from last year, with twice the number of vendors. Can we say cozy? In addition, whilst the games room was right next door, nearly all the other events were held in the hotel next to us – so there might have been fewer visitors than there could have been. This year, we agreed to run a pair of games table as well.

Marketing Trends & Small Businesses

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 11:48:07 +0000

I went to a networking function yesterday where a speaker was promoting his latest marketing book. Boiled down, these were his main points from memory: creating difference; not benchmarking execution of strategy delivering value micro-targeting epidemics empowerment relationship management If you read marketing books & information in general, you might notice a number of terms that you’re familiar with. There’s a reason why Sun Tzu’s Art of War is still being read to this day – there’s nothing new in strategy. It’s just a different way of saying the same thing. Not to say that there isn’t value in reassessing & reviewing things like this – it often triggers new ideas or reinforces old concepts that have fallen by the wayside. Yet, one factor that frustrates me about so many marketing talks is the complete lack of focus for small businesses (especially existing small businesses)

Ascension : Chronicles of the God King Review

admin — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 04:37:48 +0000

Ascension : Chronicles of the God King is a deck-building board game that has strong flavors of Magic the Gathering and Dominion in it. It’s a fast gateway deck builder game that takes less than 5 minutes to explain and less than an hour to play. Ascension is a good game that I believe has carved out it’s own niche in this fast growing sector of the market.
