Flyers - where to put them, and what to make them say?
« on: November 13, 2006, 10:23:23 pm »
Flyers, one of the best ways to get new people and alert them to OKgamers.com existing...  However, since flyers are needed, we need to make sure we know all the places to put them, and should we make flyers for just the site itself?

Okay, so if you haven't read it already, we do have the readme in the Tournaments and Events that covers 'flyers, and where we put them so far', which you can check that out from this link:

http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=14.0

However, do you know of other places we can check?  Have you taken flyers from the last event and put them somewhere not on that list?

If so, please let us know!  That way we can help you keep an eye on the supply of flyers.

Also – content of the flyers?

OKgamers.com's whole purpose is to eventually get around the need for flyers, and standard promotion for events and tournaments in Oklahoma that deal with gaming.  Gamers are tech savvy, we shouldn't have to rely on seeing some random flyer to find out ya know?  We should just have a website that people know to go to post their events, and go to looking for events...

 ..but that won't happen over night.  So, we use traditional flyers to get the word out, and to help a team of us have been throwing tournaments 'start the process', to help get the word out.

 However - should we just be creating flyers for the events?

 Our ultimate goal: get the word out about OKgamers.com, get people using the site so we network and know about events and tournaments.  In order to achieve that, we have been making flyers to start the process of getting people to the site.  Even so, I feel people are just thinking OKgamers is some association throwing events just for the sake of throwing them - the whole "use this site to promote your events and tournaments, and come to check out what else is going on" seems to be lost on most people...

 This is only re-inforced to us after finding flyers for an event "Gridcon" that happened this Saturday, and never even HEARING about it.  Also, they had similar games - so - maybe they didn't post on here because they thought it'd be competition?!@#

 I don't know, and as a result I want to help eliminate confusion.  So - should we have flyers for "Monthly tournaments" & a flyer "about OKgamers.com's purpose"?

Of course we're going to continue making the Monthly Tournament flyers.  But, would a second flyer help?  Something to just hang up or hand out to those looking for events, or having one themselves and let them know to post it?

...The site is a free resource, and only here to serve Gamers in Oklahoma.  Signing up is easy and takes no time to do.  More and more people are finding out about it, and flyers are going out with the website url; so posting your event up is a win-win - you get to showcase your event, OKgamers.com gets more content and a reason to be around.

Should there be a second flyer explaining that?
