So i've come up with a great scenario for the near future. I know its way early to talk about because theirs nothing officially announced but, I don't know if anyone else has discussed it before though.
When it comes time for (hopefully) Shenmue to come out on PSN and XBL, we will want to support it as much as possible. Obviously theirs many things we can do over the internet, thats already been discussed plenty and we will be very active on that front. However, when it comes to promoting outside of the internet I feel we can reach a greater impact in people's minds when considering to buy Shenmue on PSN and XBL.
So im prepared to make some promotional items for a guerrilla marketing campaign.
When the time comes I want to make stickers pushing people to buy it.
"Support the Shenmue 3 cause. Buy Shenmue HD on PSN and XBL today!"
Or something to that effect. Ofcourse in cool lettering, and really I would want the stickers to be high quality and look nice and professional. I have one such friend who could get this done for me.
Ideally we could place these stickers all over the place. Around local game stores would be a prime target. Any electronic stores in general, back of street signs, downtown area's etc.
Additionally I would want to make t-shirts to promote this. Something more subtle that wont look like we're ultra fanboy's(even though we are).
You'd figure if it would come out on PSN and XBL it would be available for sale for quite a long time. Giving us all plenty of time to promote it subtly in our daily lives here and there.
Also since I would be willing to providing some of these items for everyone, it will cost me. I would be willing to front the initial cost of making a few hundred stickers and some shirts at first to get it started. After that we could maybe open up a store accessible from the main page of the dojo for people to buy these promotional items.
Thoughts?
Any other idea's short of dropping flyers from a chopper?
