The reason I started all this stuff, the blog, forum and Facebook page was to ultimately get Winnipeg it's FIRST retro gaming convention. I made a whole three step plan to get there (you can read about it on the blog if you wish, click here)
I've followed the model of other successful conventions in my plan, and I'll be asking for your help along the way. I would love to have local meetings (like at smitty's) and plan hosting smaller one day "meets" complete w/ tournaments, vendor tables and more before a full out convention, but before all that is...
STEP 1) Building the fan base
I want to build an online following, mainly on facebook where we could promote the forum, gatherings and the eventual convention. On Oct 1 2013 on Facebook, i'll start easy to enter contests by having people like us and share a photo for us. Below is the first contest I will roll out w/ more to come. I wanted to ask you opinions on the concept or if you had any other ideas on how to help "step 1". I hope you will help us promote this in your own way once we start!
Would this work? is it to complicated? please add any comments, suggestions or ideas! thanks for the help!
