[quote=McDougall Designs 805702 11387281 8060f9a87d10618d56fe2cc6493b4629.png][quote=Overread 805702 11387249 1628bc470e0cbbd1ce537d119082130d.jpg]Where else are you asking this question. I say that because Dakka isn't a big Warmaster hotspot, so chances are you might not get many replies here because, simply put, there isn't the warmaster fanbase here to advertise too . For a market this niche you need to be finding community groups and doing outreach to them; you need to be considering potentially linking up with larger groups in your country and sponsoring them in some form or otherwise getting ways to advertise to their communities. [color=red] I've been advertising, and posting, about my releases since i opened on facebook, dakka, reddit, leadadventureforum, 9th age (there are some small scale players) and on various discords. [/color] The second thing I'd wonder is why isn't this discount on the front page of your website. If you are doing a special discount you want it to be on the front of your website to advertise it. Even if its also in the dropdown under army-deals and such; you also want it right up front on the front page. [color=red]Good point. It is now. [/color] Third thing is what are you doing to grow the Warmaster fanbase. I say that because smallscale wargaming is super niche. Heck outside of Warmaster and one or two historical games, the fantasy side is basically "one man and his shed" kind of companies making stuff. Often with one guy making models; someone else making rules; then customers buying models here and there as they like. Warmaster really was the only big fantasy name and its been off-market for a while now. So what marketing are you doing to help grow that market and to attract people to your site to buy stuff. Your site blog has been inactive since February. You've a bit more interaction on your Facebook, but not by a huge amount. [color=red] I've supported tournaments. I'm trying to spread word that I will happily support any tournament or escalation league that wants support. [/color] Finally get photos up of prints; not just renders. Renders and concept art do sell things, but actual photos of prints (well taken and presented) sell even more. [color=red] This, across the entire site, is a work in progress. I have been hamstrung by being unable to print example stands when I've been printing orders. [/color] Also to answer, I already own a 3D printer; I'm also UK not US based so I'd not be looking to a US store first to make purchases. [/quote][/quote]
