Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I recently received a PM from a board member about marketing; but more specifically, e-mail marketing. It got my brain working and I came up with an idea. I would like to ask for some of your time in the next month or so. In that time, I would like for you to compile a list of churches in your area along with a name and e-mail address for either their Youth Pastor/Minister or their Pastor/Minister. This would involve some Google Map searches (or something of the sort) and setting your proximity limits. How far out you want to go is up to you, but I would like you to claim your area on this thread so that we don't have any duplicating of efforts. I will keep a running list of who is working on what area on this post for ease of reference. You can actually send me a PM with the data but it needs to be formatted exactly as my example below without any unnecessary punctuation but with correct capitalization and spelling:

Church Name, Person's Name, E-mail Address
Church Name, Person's Name, E-mail Address
Church Name, Person's Name, E-mail Address

If you are willing to do this in your area, please respond to this thread with the area you will be targeting. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to post them here or send me a PM. The goal of this is for me to send out e-mails to churches and people who have either not heard of Redemption or to connect with those that have but are not currently connected to the Redemption Community. We are starting where you are because I know you want more people to play with in your area...right?

In exchange for your help I will be offering a sweet bonus per open I get on the addresses you supply me (please do not give me e-mail addresses of people you already know in order to up your open rate...thanks). For every 5 e-mails that I send out to the addresses you give me that are opened, I will give you a free Booster Pack from among the "$3 packs". For every contact that I make that turns into a sale, I will give you a free "$5 box pack" of your choosing. There is great potential to get some free product and to do some amazing grass roots marketing for Redemption.

ARE YOU IN!?!

this is really really important, any and all youth pastors who play Redemption and people who have connections to many churches!

I'm in Gainesville, Florida, and was interested in promoting, and possibly being a re-seller of, Redemption to local churches, Univ. of Florida and Santa Fe College campuses, etc., as there are no retail sellers of Redemption around here anymore.  Contact me and we'll work on getting the word out.

My thoughts exactly YMT.

Watchman...I will be in touch.

we need everyone to compile a list or if they already have a list even better of churches and leaders who they could see implementing Redemption as a Biblical resource

strategically having the resources ready along with a list of people to send it to who may be interested is of benefit

I am definitely in on this!  I live in Lancaster City so I can do the surrounding Lancaster and Lebanon areas. This could be fun!!!!
