Fasst,

Your points are well taken. We certainly are an engineering driven company and we are lame at marketing. We are going to try harder at marketing next year once all our new products have rolled out. This forum is the the one thing that has opened my eyes to a lot of things in the PB world and I want to use it as much as possible to assist us in our approach.

Wasn't the automag the first semiauto marker?

I think he means the owners of the guns.

Sorry for my 1st post. It was less than descriptive. I agree that AGD should step up their marketing efforts. It is my personal preference not to like WDP's marketing style. Sure sex sells, but it's like it was said in the 'Quality Alway's Shoots Straight' thread, 'DYE/WDP - Buy our stuff to pay our web designers' That I don't really agree with.

I'm sure AGD is doing fine as a company. I am fortunate enough to know about their wonderful products and service. I am the type that cares more about the quality and innovation of a companies product/service than the way in which I found out about it.

Just my .02.

FaSSt.
Your right on the money with your observations.
The importance of a marketing stagy is often overlooked.

AGD.
You once again proved your listening. I'm looking forward to not having to explain the advantages for your products next year.

As an example, last night one of the workers at my local field was telling a story of how a shocker owner was thinking about buying a warp. The worker was going on about how this bankety-blank guy didn't seem to realize the shocker can only shoot 11.2 bps. Why don't people realize the huge advantage of moving the hopper. It doesn't take my moppets long to figure it out!

The selfish part of me wants to keep this company a secret. I like having the advantage.

Douglas.

OH! Is that what you mean? Because I thought you meant like the owner of the company!

ENDO!

Muzikman bows his head...too bad no one knows where that gun is any more.

Also, wouldn't that be the first gravity Fed Semi?

As far as I know, Glenn still has it.

It was stolen out of his truck at a tourney, about three or four months ago. If I recall correctly.

The single most recongizible gun in paintball. 2 Grand reward for it, I think.

STANDING OVATION...AGD RULES!!!!!!!!!



Anyways...didn't I see an AGD ad in one of my later magazines??

[Bad Dave]

Lets say I am a new player getting into the sport, like a guiy I met on sunday, he went to a shop that stocks both angels and e-mags. He asked what is the best gun, they said a dark angel, he bought the dark angel.

This happens time and again with people opening the mags and saying wow, WDP, performance and looks. How else is the custom cocker market so large, looks and differentiation.

AGD really need some adds for the extreme with faded annos and stuff, like revealing a little at a time every month then hit them with the whole gun at the time of release...

Who does marketing for WDP, I doubt it is the same people who design the guns and products, let the engineers make them great and the marketers make them popular.

Still huge potential out there...
