Default Re: Marketing SE V

You might be able to, with a serious amount of bush beating, to get Se4/se5 into some small independant computer stores. The problem is that these stores represent such a miniscule amount of the market out there, you are basically no better off as far as exposure then you are sticking to Online sales only. And the resources expended could have gone towards someting that would have more of a return.

The only way you are going to get the kind of exposure we would all like for the series is to get it placed on teh shelves of the major computer stores and department stores. But that is imposible. You can't walk into your local Walmart, Target, or Compusa and have the manager buy a few copies and stick on the shelf. Retail doesn't work that way anymore, if it ever did. It's all about shelfspace. And the major distributors work directly with the national and regional chains in that regard. You can't just get a few copies into one store.
