    Trying out a super-sale

    This is a very very good point. Since all these people obviously hadn't bought the product before. We have over 40,000 customers at RPGNow. Our sales over all for 2003 have doubled from 2002. Yet most publishers are complaining about slugish sales. Oh, along these lines I and many others here...

    Trying out a super-sale

    Morrus, don't get me wrong. I love what your doing and the benifits to RPGNow are great... the issue is with people who do not like to see their products fall of these lists just so that all of your products can be at the top. I've basically told those people that no one solution will satisfy...

    Trying out a super-sale

    While I appreciate the sales and people coming to the store... i've been getting complaints that this sale is really screwing up the top lists. In short, we currently rank based on Quantity sold. But if someone massivly discounts like this they end up dominating the top lists. This is unfair...

    Sales Brochure

    Good points... I guess I didn't make it clear but I'm willing to pay someone. I am just not willing to pay an ad Firm rate :) I've done enough promoting/sales to know what generally I need ... just need someone to help orginize it and write a good doc explaining it. James

    That was the E-Year that was

    We have implemented a new front page at RPGNow. Now before you spaz, please give it a some time and see how you like it. If people are ok with it, we'll get better looking buttons. One of the biggest complaints we get at RPGNow from the publishers is that all their product falls off the front...

    Sales Brochure

    Well if I wasn't exactly clear, the person I'm looking for would help with the presentation of the data and analysis to get a decent advertising vehicle put together. So, I'm looking for a salesman help too I guess... I know plenty of people who can do the raw layout part if that's two different...

    Sales Brochure

    RPGNow.com is in need of a sales brochure to help us sell exisitng game publishers on the concept of PDF and the benefits of releasing out of print products through the channel. We need someone who can create a couple page handout that has some case studies and charts and such. If you have some...

    That was the E-Year that was

    Not 100% accurate as GMS handles general customer service emails and he might have made a guess as to how things work without checking first. So there are technically 4 contact people at rpgnow: Owner - webmaster@rpgnow.com or sales@rpgnow.com (me) Product specilist - sage@rpgnow.com (Chirs -...

    That was the E-Year that was

    In short, everyone can feel free to post and spread the Downloader Monthly. It's got so many direct links to us it doesn't matter to me if it's reposted anywhere. Yes we should notify EN World each time one is released. I think we've not done so since the editor is mainly a non-d20 guy and...

    That was the E-Year that was

    Good point. We'll need to work on that for 2004. Which is actually why I'm considering allowing vendors to spend their earnings online. Saves us the trasaction fees and we can cut less checks. :) Might be. I have to look them over. Don't have the time right now. But I think it was soft for...

    That was the E-Year that was

    Chris (posterboy) is right... though our product_id is at about 2330 right now, there are a little under 2000 active products at RPGNow. You'll have to dig through some old posts to see product counts from earlier this year, I'm sure I posted them. Just an FYI - gross sales at RPGNow have...

    3EDnD.com

    You're exactly correct Mr. Oberon. He even put up a fight cause our contract doesn't explicitly state he can link back to his site in the product description to sell it there... go figure. James

    3EDnD.com

    Actually, the owner of that site/book was not following the rules of RPGNow and was blatently offering his book for cheaper on his own site and using our site for promoting that fact. The product description even said click here to buy it cheaper directly from me. We obviously have nothing to...

    Polyhedron article on PDFs

    Well, I own RPGNow.com so it's not a big issue for me... I make the $ either way. But you can charge between $7 and 10 to burn the CD for them and make a little off that. There were talks of allowing publishers to offer special discounts to store owner account, but nothing has been set in stone...

    RPGnow = RPGmissing?

    Oh, that' happens so much in doing online business it doesn't even phase me much. We had to pay to put a new harddrive in the machine since they wouldn't let us continue to use the old one. Then during an update of the OS on the RPGShop.com site, our SSL went down and we had to pay again for a...

    RPGnow = RPGmissing?

    Yes, everything is running and fine again. Sorry about that... It was a real joy only sleeping a few hours and arguing with support people and restoring computers and countless sites for days on end. Blah. Basically what happened is someone highjacked our UDP and was making out going attacks...

    3rd party ESDs?

    When I was at GenCon and Origins I had approached most of the publishers. Most of them all said they'd be doing some sort of PDF/ESD in the future. Most of them though said they had little time to get that done. I had some very postive talks with several big name publishers that were on your...

    I'm sure the original poster and Jim would be happy with any decent scan. I think that's all he ment, that it was a good scan and lined up well... James
