[Atrocities]

I wonder if sending game shops an SEIV poster would work. Ask them to display it for a copy of the game.

Who knows maybe that would work. For every 10 copies sold through that store give the store a free copy of the game as an incentive.

When I was in the Firearms business there were many incentive programs like this out. Sell our product and we will give you discounts and even free merchandise. Of course you had to sell a lot of stuff and buy a lot to get the discounts, but at the end of the year it was well worth it.

(Mostly appearl, accessories, and such.)

I would love to walk into EB Software and see a SEIV poster by David Gervais hanging on the wall with a coupon to order Space Empires IV through Shrapnel with free shipping.

They use the coupon which tells which store the game was ordered through so the store gets credit.

After say 10 or even 20 coupons are used from the same store to buy SEIV, send the store a free game to sell. Offer them a 10% discount on the purchase of 10 or more games from Shrapnel.

Hell if you think about this it could work for all of shrapnels games.

Just a thought though. Remember it takes money to make money and Shrapnel can wright off all this as marketing on there taxes and gain a huge tax break.

But the bonus would be that the games become more visable.
