Title: How many copies should I have for GenCon?
Post by: GregStolze on February 28, 2007, 10:21:08 PM
REIGN will be ready soon.  (No, really.  Soon.)  I'm going to GenCon and I'm wondering how many copies I should bring to sell.  What do y'all think?

I know last year at GenCon, Brennan brought about 50 copies of each game for IPR for the Forge booth (if he had 'em).  That seemed to be a good supply for the medium to heavy sellers, oversupply for the slow sellers, and might have been a little short for the heavy sellers.

I'm betting Reign might be a heavy one.  Maybe a hundred?

Agreed. Greg, I think you'll get good response. I'd estimate you'd do very well to bring at least a hundred, possibly as much as double that.

Over 100 for a new game, over 50 for a non-new game.  It's not that you should necessarily expect to sell that much.  It's that it's way better to over-pack than under-pack.
