[QUOTE="DaWizard, post: 3529137, member: 6778"] [b]Some clarifications from other sites[/b] Each Design House will be given a budget allotted based on reactions from sales reps at Key Distribution companies. Rapid POD will then base an ad campaign based around this amount. Obviously with RPG’s doing 200 to 600 units in the first 30 days, the budget will be lower then someone producing a card game that has the potential to sell 1500 units out the door. All advertising, budgeting, graphic design, price point setting, etc. will be determent by Rapid POD. However, Rapid POD is not Blindly picking up publishers like a consolidator would. We are going to be picky and only carry the companies or writers with good track records. As far as new guys go, they better come with a great business plan or some product concepts that know our blocks off. We may work with 4-9 clients at most. Last thing, the companies we choose to work with may or may not be picked based on WHO we choose. We obviously wont work with 6 companies making Fantasy games. Will look at different departments, i.e.- kids games, kooky games, sci-fi, fantasy, giant robots, etc. So if some companies don’t get chosen, it wont be because they were not any good, they might not fit the group dynamic. Hope that answers questions, Ken [/QUOTE]
