Subject: How to Establish the Foundations of this Game - Iron Dragon Thrae



Hello once again Everyone!

It has been brought to my Attention that the near to complete lack of a Advertising Campaign on the part of Upperdeck when it comes to Shaman King is causing Troubles when it comes to not only finding cards but other players and even Tourneys!

Here is the deal gys and gals! When it comes to a Business taking a Risk on a new product like Shaman King while they already have an extremely well established product like Yu-Gi-Oh or Versus on the Market, is a hge Marketing Risk.

When it comes right down to it it may come down to us the players of Shaman King to be the ones who really perform the true Marketing Campaign! It may come down to us as Players to convince Stores in our area's to at first Special Order Shaman King Cards, and then Special Order them again, and again untill the Stores Relize that there really is a Market for this game and start Ordering the Cards without having to be asked! Further it may require that those of us who have Upperdeck Tournament Organizer Status (like myself) should start trying to work with the local Hobby/Game Stores in order to form the most basic type of Tournaments that can be played, Local Level Tourney's!

Once the game finally becomes well established on multiple local fronts it may finally have a chance to thrive on the National Tourney Levels or even the Internationals! However nothing can ever become Great if it does not first have a strong Foundation!



Thanks for listening,

Sincerely,

Thrae
