Trained Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) I recently found out I have free access to a lamination machine, so I decided im gonna start handing out GETCONTINUUM.com cards out to local stores and asking them to hand them out. I think im gonna start with GameStop, then maybe the entertainment section of Wal Mart. Im actually gonna go to surrounding citys tommorow and try to hand out a stack of these, it might not do much, but its still worth a shot. Im gonna make about 400-500. Feel free to do the same, heres the graphics I made, not much but hey, its better than nothing. Edited April 10, 2008 by Trained
»Purge Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 you should ask them to include a card with every consumer purchase.
Trained Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Posted April 10, 2008 (edited) Indeed, on the consumer purchase, but I wanna target users with computer and internet access, I wonder if they're gonna mind me being picky EDIT: My mom says the lamination plastic isnt cheap, so I should press my luck Edited April 10, 2008 by Trained
Cancer+ Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Will stores hand them out? What is in it for them?
ThunderJam Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Id suggest against putting instructions such as using arrows to play on there. Keep it simple, they can learn to play themselves
»Purge Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 put your real name and maybe your game alias in quotes for professionalism. you may also want to redo the details portion... try putting an actual description of the game (Continuum is an MMO, etc.) then basic instructions on where/how to download the game rather than your setup of step-by-step instructions.
rootbear75 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 i found a problem... Default control to fire bullets is "Control" not "Alt" sorry lol
PoLiX Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 I've have connections to order business cards for a decent price. I'll throw a phone call and maybe make up something for it. If it goes through, just would need addresses and could order them to people.
rootbear75 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 ill p!@#$%^&* them out if you can get them to me
Dav Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 very nice, ill keep an eye on the population charts.
PK2 Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 yo trained, if you can make a 3.5x2.0 business card, ill create them for you and mail them for you, don't worry about the cost, ill take care of it.
X`terrania Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Should maybe give them a the name of a good general zone to play in, Trench War's with its big population looks enticing.. but it's soooo boring.
Trained Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Posted April 11, 2008 Good catch with the ALT thing, it was 4am when I made it so I have an excuse. As far as the business cards go, i'll see what I can come up with, and Polix, lemme know home much, I can paypal the money to you. I was gonna put money to a new computer, but I just bought this one 4 months ago, so I figure I can give up atleast $150 or so to Continuum in the community. If anyone else has any ideas go ahead and post them. Im gonna get some large posters printed up and see about setting them up somewhere aswell. I havn't ran the copies yet, some things came up today that were a bit unexpected, plus I didn't get to go to sleep last night so I need to catch up on sleep. Im gonna pace myself with this, and do it right, so keep the critiques coming =)
The Apache Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 there are never excuses for forgetting basic continuum controls. never. anyway man, great idea. hope it actually does acheive something!
Trained Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Business card, let me know if the jav is to graphic for a business card, I kept it kind of plain because if they actually do visit the website then all the info is basicallly there. EDIT: Oops, forgot to attach ^_^ Edited April 13, 2008 by Trained
Trained Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Sorry for the double post but, I went ahead and edited the back aswell. Go ahead and tell me what you guys think, I used most of your suggestions. If the summary on the back is !@#$%^&*ty, please feel free to re-write as I am not very good with those kind of things. Sorry =). As soon as you guys give you opinions i'll call it final (if it is final) and then print her out, and have them cards made. Edited April 13, 2008 by Trained
rootbear75 Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) "Do you have what it takes?"ya, rofl... do you got what it takes.... Grammar ftw! EDIT: and i thought we still reached the 1000 mark daily... Edited April 13, 2008 by rootbear75
Trained Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Posted April 13, 2008 Yes, I have poor grammar, im from the south and im from the ghetto =( Well, I just put what was AVG on the charts.
Aileron Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 I'd be careful about handing them out inside stores. The owners might have a problem with you doing that.
