[QUOTE="Inzae, post: 445833, member: 4600"] Troll Lord Games is currently undergoing a MAJOR restructuring. We have actually acquired a business manager to help us sort out our office mess - none of us ever ran a business before, much less a publishing one so we have asked for help. AND got it. Now, one suggestion he had on product management and production was the customer base. So he asked for demographics (age, education, access to computer, income, expected expenditures per bracket etc etc etc.) We laughed. There are none - no really good ones anyway. Just a few spotty pieces here and there. So we gave him what little we could. He also asked sales info. All we could supply are gross numbers to distributors - we do not know what leaves the shelves and what stays. Very problematic. Finally he wanted to know feedback. from consumers. Well, there are reviews??? but those are scattered and often tend to offset one another (minus a few constant complaints - editing). So I am coming to you guys for information, especially as it applys to the latter. As we are again entering the breach of productio expansion we need to know generally what people want/need. If any one would care to attack our products, please feel free to do so. Point out the weaknesses - editing, d20 mechanics, layout, art, appearance, plot etc. We also need to know our strengths - if any (LOL) On the marketing end - what leaves the stores shelves and what does not. what do you think people are looking for. Whos spends the most money - and why for %$#%'s sake don't they go on a canoing trip instead. i am not here to defend our products or offer retorts to your observations unless requested. just trying to 'get it together.' davis [email]davis@trolllord.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
