Re: Cool... Most publishers do provide you with a link right in the product description to examples/demos. Is that hard to find? Should we make it a more standard button that is easliy seen and in a standard location at the top and try to require it for all products? James

On the subject of providing a catalog, what do you people think about a download of the what's new webpages as a ZIP? For example: http://www.rpgnow.com/fantasycat.zip That's 1.7 mb for just 100 fantasy products though. Yikes. Is that really going to help anyone? Sounds more trouble then...

We have something like this already which is burned along with any CD order from RPGNow.com - a lot of good demo software plus copies of OPENRPG and such (I suppose I should talk with PCGen too)... anyway, RPGShop.com sends out over 100 packages a week and could use these CD's as stuffers if...

When we're up and running with our POD service, no product would be offered up for POD unless it's pre-paid for and thus probably on our shelf already. So in most cases delivery would be no worse then your namel distributor (2-4 days). James

Way to many legal issues to deal with here... so I'm going going to touch that. There is a difference between giving permsion to do something and someone just doing it. There is also the fact that I don't own any rights to this material I sell - you'd have to have contracts with each publisher...

That will never happen. No way could I get the vendors to agree to me sending you our archive of products. Hell I wouldn't trust my best friend with that! Putting source files in the hands of FLGS probably isn't going to work... Umm.. we have been offering this service for almost a year now :)...

My point was we make the VENDOR/PUBLISHER pre-pay for 10 at a time. Since we are warehousing many vendor products, it doesn't bother me if you then come to us and order 2 of each product we have in POD and at a bit of a discount. Sure wouldn't be as much as a normal distribtor - that's for sure...

Book of Eldritch Might III: The Nexus by Malhavoc Press has just been released on http://www.RPGNow.com A 96-page arcane sourcebook for all levels. The world is riddled with sites of primal power, and binding them all together is the Nexus. Visit these places and tap into their magical might...

Ack, I posted this in the wrong forum... Maybe someone can move it to the d20 Publishers forum? Please :) The main hardship in selling ads is getting the publishers interested and trusting and willing to spend... you have to sell yourself. If there is a group well known sites selling ads...

Re: Donation Account Set-up Actually you have to login with a email address so you need to use "dommer@prodigy.net" and password "bosnia". Also, the price to send is 40% of the RETAIL price, not the discounted price listed. Roughly $3.50 for speckeled chessex dice...

I have been thinking about adding a category to RPGNow.com that would allow you to purchase ad space (hopefully at a discount) from other websites. We process the order and submit it to our partners to get your ad displayed in rotation on their sites. RPG.NET does this in their mall and it seems...

The POD service RPGNow plans to offer WILL allow for bleeds and is perfect bound and costs less then $4 as well. We just have to buy in 10 quantity batches and thus have to warehouse them at RPGShop.com Again, why would a FLGS want to bother getting some books made on POD and selling them? Why...

I'll give you their response right now. Since the bigger companys (Malhavoc, Nat-20, RPGObjects) go to print with their stuff anyway, you already have access to giving out their products. So there is no NEED for what you're asking and they won't be interested. It's the small vendors that might...

Re: FLGS input Well when they mentioned FLGS all that I could think of was how they all must hate me and want nothing to do with someone who cuts them out... but this is actually a really cool idea. If there was more revenue to share I'd even do an affiliate program - but there is no revenue...

Ok, then... lets try this. I'm going to make the following changes and see how they go. I'm afraid the longer lists make it harder for low-speed internet connections, but let me know your feedback. Here's what I did: 1) Increased the HOT SELLERS list to use past 30 days of sales. 2) Increased...

RPGNow takes paypal and even money orders. If you send a money order in with your REFERENCE number at checkout, we'll process it. We also offer an option to put your order on CD and mail it back. So hopefully that covers most people. I have found though, that MOST people have access to a credit...

Promotion is also in other modes like pay search engines and conventions and such... But you're right... most of it isn't paying off directly in sales. We have had ads in most major magazines, they just don't do that well even for RPGShop.com Still one of the major reasons we spent a lot of...

This is something that was suggested before and why I put together this page: http://www.rpgnow.com/new_products.php It lists new product in a condensed maner. The problem with creating something zip'ed up is that it gets out of date quickly and requires some manual effort on a regular basis...

Maybe I see things from another angle and don't notice recent trends. I see that RPGShop.com and RPGNow.com are doing more business then ever, but there are also MANY more products then ever. Problem is you guys are stuck splitting the pie smaller and smaller- that's probably what is happening...

Ok, since everyone is in the mood for numbers... The average number of products per order is just about 2 (1.89) Of course I would like to see that number as large as possible as it cuts down on our costs. With paypal.com and credit cards charging 35cents just to submit a transaction, that...
