What is AGD doing in the future?

[shivors]

LOL...IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MARKERS!

I know that Bad Company suffers because of their markers....I never said otherwise. They do however compete and are well known. This allows Kingman to sell more markers to kids. That is all.

[Blazestorm]

AGD is making me my own custom annoed aluminum 6-pak =/

PLZ?

I need one for my phantom and to match my Revenge...

[ZapTheMad]

I think it's a good plan. Let all the others fight it out and save resources in the meantime. When the time is right, jump in with something new that will place you in the market as a leader.

What Gun Next?

AGD Pride was sponsored, so were the AGD kids, so is Clare.

Was ,were, is Pride switching guns, what gun will Clare use next????????????????

[nastymag]

AGD used to sponser Jax Warriors, a pro team ( not very good anymore).

i think they sponsered them from like 1998 thru the end of 2001 season.

I think targeting the Rec Ballers is a pretty good place to start. That is where a lot of the ignorant paintball banter gets started. IE spiral ported barrels cause your balls to spin-stabilize. Low pressures are more efficient. Et cetera.

Maybe some apparel and other promo stuff could be geared towards the "new mag" image. Thinking, like, "Automag: not the same old gun." Something along those lines. Just something to make people think twice.

We are currenly expanding our made to order RTpros to inlcude Nicad bodies, Tac bodies and any other darn thing we sell that fits on it. Everyone seems to like having it their way!

SO to recap, waiting on the legal storm to be over, hiding from the tournament guys, pushing scenario to new heights, cooking the burgers YOUR way and trying to make Nicad happy.

Thats whats going on at,

AGD

Great,Tom said "have it your way".Now he is going to have every Burger King franchise in america after him.Bad enough that he is trying to avoid lawsuits from the paintball realm and he jumps in an pokes the burger world in the eye.What is this world coming too?(If you can't smell the sarcasm in that statement,you need to get a life)

I can't wait to see what's on the horizon.Tom your products rock!! Keep up the great work.Hope to meet you one day.Stay away from the burger slogans though.

[the larch]

Thanks for the post Tom. Now we can all take turns suggesting names for a new marker. Howabout Supercalifragilisticshootumflatterfurther.
or..the Pheonix(corny huh?)

[Shykicker]

heh. "Have you had your break-shot today?"

[PzYcO]

All i can say is, if AGD comes out with a new tourney gun by next season, ill take 2!

[NoFearPaintballer]

it'd be pretty cool if agd made a super efficiancy mod!

But really wanna see how AGD takes their business!

[Blazestorm]

Sounds like they're sticking mechanical and working on the Tac-One... and I'll be buying one of those uber mech guns when they come out, until then I'll be shooting my Revenge/Phantom...

[Chronobreak]

DONT drop the mag name that ive come to know and love PLEEEEESE!!!
but all sounds good and i expected as much from agd. Keep up the good work

[minimag03]

The mag name has been around for more that 10 years, and should be kept that way. Paintball markers are different than power tools, people will notice that it is the same marker.

[Cyberious]

Paintball markers are different than power tools, people will notice that it is the same marker.

Not really in the grand scheme of things. People haven't really noticed that DeWalt and Black and Decker are the same power tools in a different color and different labeling.

The point is that Black and Decker was able to change their negative connotation through creative marketing. They kept their other line and started a new one at the same time and no one was any the wiser. Honestly if you've walked out onto field with an Old Skool RT recently alot of the newer generation including some of the younger tourney players ask who makes that marker? Even with the tell tale Mag looking valve it is different than what they are used to.

Another example is TIDE laundry detergent. Have you ever noticed that they almost always advertise it as "The New TIDE"?

How many things can they really change? It is soap for goodness sakes. What they do is slap a color scheme on the box and call it new. Same concept. Tom's theory has been the same in many respects lately. Notice how the Mag name has been removed from all of the valves? Notice how there are no Mags advertised? Just the TacOne and RT Custom. They are still the same great products with a different name and packaging.
