We discuss:
[2:03]: How James’ passion for board games became the initial impulse to work on launching board games professionally. [10:24]: The best marketing strategy is always creating a good product that people enjoy, so you can expand more on the same resonating idea. [13:46]: The best communication tool for them was Facebook groups, to get in touch with the first audience about the second launch, and to look for look-alike audiences. [19:29]: Marketing is not one size fits all and the weirdest things might work for your campaign. Don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. [26:52]: How they integrated the reviews in their marketing campaign, and chose which review would resonate better with which audience. [32:39]: Each reviewer is different and there’s no one and only protocol to follow to get reviews. [35:50]: Investing in Facebook ads is for sure great to find new audiences, but it should go together with the organic relationship-building part as well. [38:42]: Investing time in creating a great customer service tradition will get you far. One of the greatest things in the board game community, is the community itself. The people who form it. [44:32]: How to get in touch with James Faulkner.
