[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 5871799, member: 98008"] If I can offer some marketting suggestions... Frankly I can't ever picture myself paying that amount for a product, unless I can directly picture how it will help me. To that end, I suggest that you make a youtube video with a screen capture of the ipad and a voice over explaining each of the features. I would make the video run like a small section of a real game, not just a list of features. It all comes back to the old teaching/marketting adage "Don't tell me, show me". If I can watch you using the program to run a game, then I can picture how it will help me and decide on purchasing accordingly. The product summary is just not good IMO. When I first stumble across the program, I do not care about its specs, or the nitty gritty. What I want is for you to tell me why I should buy it. How will it change my game? Reading the initial summary, I am not even really sure what it does or how I would use it in my games. "DMMinion is a encounter and combat management tool for D&D 4e" that is all that is telling me what the product does, the rest is telling me how it does it. Explain what an "encounter and combat management tool" is and why you would want to use one. Then explain why yours is better than others with the nitty-gritty. P.S. What about a demo version, where players cannot enter stuff in for themselves, but they can see a completed adventure? So I download the demo, can see the layout, see how I would roll the dice, take HP off the monsters etc. I would even publish a quick adventure with it, something simple with just a few linked encounters. Hold the buyers hand and show them the adventure and let them see for themself how to use it. In addition, I would suggest that the retail tool have a couple of stored adventures as well (if it doesn't), so new users can get use to it and see how things should be set up. [/QUOTE]
