Ambassador Report - October 2001
Region: Ronara - West Texas
Ambassador: Matt Clouser
#1 What is a general state of the CCG industry in your area. What trends are you seeing? What games are doing better/worse over the past month? How is your Product Champion CCG doing compared to the other games lately? What is your opinion of how things are going in general?
Same story, different month... Our main gaming store here in San Angelo continues to have financial problems, but the game manager is still very willing to work with the local TD's to try and make things happen. ST remains strong, with Magic and Pokemon coming in a strong second and third. Other Decipher products (SW, JK, YJ) remain dead, with no local interest to speak of. Jerry Jackson, one of our Trek TD's, is now a Product Champion for LOTR - he's in the process of trying to drum up interest in that game. Hopefully there will be some playing crossover here - already players are wondering if they can afford to take on another game.
#2 What have you been doing to promote your Product Champion CCG in the
past month. How many tournaments and were they successful? How many demos did you schedule and show up for? Any new players brought on? Any new TD's created? How is the mentoring of your TD's going? What types of retailer visits have you done, and what were the results? Finally, how well did you succeed in accomplishing your planned goals for this month? (see part three below.)
We were supposed to have a sanctioned constructed deck tournament last weekend (27 Oct), but the game store had to close for the weekend. The tournament has been rescheduled for this Saturday (3 Nov).
#3 What is your plan for what you intend to do over the upcoming month
to promote your Product Champion CCG. Any tournaments scheduled? Demos?
Retail visits? Are you going to be working with anybody in a mentoring
capacity? Any long-term plans that you will be advancing on during this
month?
Because our last tournament was rescheduled for this weekend, we may have to move our next tournament back to the weekend after Thanksgiving (1 Dec) - and given the new tournament posting guidlines, I guess we'll have to make our minds up quick!!
Until next month!!
