Grey Ghost and Game Retailers
Grey Ghost Press is happy to partner with game retailers to help promote Fudge and sell more Grey Ghost games. Here are some of the ways we can help each other.
High-Quality Product
First and foremost, Grey Ghost Press produces high-quality products. Five Origins Awards nominations and an Origins Award win back up this claim!
Online Retailer Locator
Our Fudge Sightings page links to our database of known Fudge retailers. Please make sure you're listed, even if you sell Fudge by special order only!
Co-op Advertising
Grey Ghost Press has a monthly full-page ad in Knights of the Dinner Table, and we sell ad space to retailers for inclusion in the ad. All co-op advertisers get a link to their website from the main Retailers page on fudgerpg.com. There are nine slots for retailer advertisements. The cost is $60/quarter (three issues). Currently (August 2005) there is one slot open. I do keep a waiting list and there's occasional turn-over among the advertisers. I'll be glad to entertain proposals for other co-op advertisements and promotions as well. Just let me know what you'd like to see!
Stock Rebalancing
If you ever find yourself with too much of one Grey Ghost item but not enough of another, I do stock rebalancing for retailers who request it. Contact me first, and we can arrange a swap. Replacements for damaged product is also available (even if it's simply become shop-worn).
Demo Support
I have ready-to-run adventures for use as in-store demos or convention adventures. Most are two- or four-hour adventures, in a variety of genres. I may be able to find a Fudge gamemaster willing to run Fudge games in your store or at your convention. Or I can help you turn one of your customers into a Fudge gamemaster by providing adventures and other support. In turn, you can help grow a Fudge community among your customers.
Prize Support
If you're having a celebration (Anniversary, Grand Opening, etc.), I'll be glad to send you some prize support in the form of Grey Ghost products. Fudge dice and Another Fine Mess (an animal companions adventure booklet) are readily available as prizes. Other prizes can be arranged.
Game Industry Network
I'm a participant in the Game Industry Network online forum – and I read a lot of the retailer threads. That way I keep myself aware of the concerns retailers have over publishers' policies, the state of the industry, and other important topics. And I strive to make my company and my products retailer-friendly. Let me know how I can help!
