Brochures
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:00 amHey guys! I'm going ot be making three-fold brochures on Belegarth for handing out to new people & "walk-bys" at practice. I'm thinking two main brochures, with possibly a third...
1.) General Belegarth info geared toward geeks: spiffy fighting pictures for new people/people who might be interested. Highlight the camaraderie, and fun-to-be-had at national events. Usual pics of fighting/action shots, but scrounge up one or two really awesome pics of the nightlife as well. If we put any Horde-type people in the brochure, we'd have to be careful to use the guys who make green look good. Snotbelly, his girlfriend (can't remember her name for the life of me), Keiko, etc.
2.) Information to parents who have kids that want to fight: focus here would be on safety, fun, physical exersize and availability of people to help their kids with issues (e.g. homework, trouble at school, etc.). I'm thinking pics of some of the parents and kids who participate together, maybe one or two of weapons being checked...
3.) General Belegarth info geared toward jocks: focus on the physical aspects of the game, the full contact/hard hitting that we engage in, the great areobic workout Bel can be, the stress relieving wonder of hitting other people with sticks, the national events with the parties, show the different "teams" (units) that you can join. For pics, there are a few guys in Bel who really treat Bel like a sport, so the pics of Fox, Xiao, Morbian, Soth, and others like them would go over well here. Maybe a hot chick in belly-dancer garb (not to malign my own gender, but sex is a valid marketing strategy)
Cuz we all know there are some people in Bel who see this as a sport rather than a game, and if we gear some of our information to those people, we can rope them in just like we bring in the geeks. I think its also important to have something to give to parents. Most of the parents I've run into are pretty accepting of the game, but it's always better to give them some more information so that they feel like we care what they think.
Besides, I've talked to parents who think that their kid would be interested, but all I have to give them is the website, written on whatever was handy. Not real good for reminding them about it...
