Hi, I'm Elias Scorsone, the publisher, author, illustrator, production/layout guy, editor, etc., for Fireinthedust Productions. I'm an independent publisher of RPG adventures and game aides, and I only just got my first product up onto DrivethruRPG.com recently. Mostly it's because I've been doing this business plan course, and while I learn "how to business", I'm trying to do a survey of customers: who are the people who buy these products?
I did this here a couple months back, but cannot find the original thread; I have the names of people who responded, and most of their PMs still exist (and I'd like to get in touch with the others, fyi). I've just finished sending the sample products to the people who sent them to me, which is great: two spreads of tables for random searching GMs can use when heroes are fumbling through crates or people's larders. I intended to print them out so, when I run Demo games, I can give those out for free PLUS sell some books. I got in a fair number of surveys, but my coach is insisting I try to get 50(!) done for the course I'm taking. So...
I've got a survey for a business plan-generating course I'm in. I need to sample potential customers, learn WHO the people who would buy my products are, and HOW they buy games, if that makes sense.
I do NOT want your personal information, just the general answers (ie: I don't need your kids' names, but if you game with your kids or not, a "yes/no" is fine; I don't need your income, but a general idea of the "job area you work in (ie: Student, Lawyer, Publisher, Homemaker, Millionaire, Inventor, Philanthropist, etc.) would be helpful.
IF you are kind enough to send me a copy of the survey, all I need is your email address to send you the sample product. If you want to copy the questions into an email, answer them, and send them to: [email protected]
Or you could PM them here, so we've still got the anonymity of the forum, if that makes sense.
Here's the list of answers I need, with the idea of learning who my AVERAGE customer is.
