Thanks Angus
I think a group with a marketing strategy is a good idea. Before they contact anyone though, they should first establish what advertising services CS can offer, for how much, and what kinds of companies might have a target market similar to Chess.
So... what kinds of products do people who are interested in Chess also enjoy/need/want? Worth contacting companies like Chessbase/whoever makes Fritz/Chess.com/ICC/Playchess etc to see if they would be willing to pay for an advert on our website?
Something like (examples):
- An advert on the left panel of the website (which can be seen on the homepage and most other migrated pages) is £500 / year.
- An advert in the Scottish Chess magazine is £500 / year (for a whole page).
- Sponsoring a tournament is based on the number of entrants but flyers can be distributed for 50p per flyer.
Thoughts?
