Title: (COMMERCIAL) Advertising your wares. Where to?
Post by: Bergil on 24 July 2013, 01:04:01 PM: Hiya people,

I am wondering where one might place adverts for their online shop, such as SLAP Minis.

I’ve looked into a few places, such as TMP. (no luck there, after an initial reply I’ve just been ignored for whatever reason?!) I know of Warseer and will be placing an add in the future. Oh and the wargames review chap who I’ll be sorting out a package for. http://wargameterrain.blogspot.co.uk/

The only other places I’ve used to post news and updates are here at the good old LAF, Frothers and facebook. Facebook seems to be working well for other miniature companies, but seems a bit ropey for me at best.

Do any of you have good knowledge or experience of where you or others learn of new minis? If so I would appreciate a heads up! As some others would too I imagine.

Thanks

Stu

Also perhaps a few well painted samples on the Steve Dean site?

FB might get even better if you boosted a release related post, or even took an advert.

That would be me, I also offer banner space if interested and when you feel neglicted by larger networks :)

Cheers

If you scroll down a bit, on the right side you'll find a paragraph titled 'contact us':

Might be worth giving that a try as well for announcing new releases.
