Racist Paintball Magazines

[judster]

theres a 3 page ad in every month of scenario news...dead center of the magazine...thats the on,y rag i read, so it doesnt matter

In the words of Chris Farley... KILL WHITEY!

Er, no, no kill whitey. AGD just dosn't pay to have ads put in mags(no pun intended) that much.

Word-of-mouth is the best kind of advertising.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to type that.

While yes, it is true that magazines find it difficult to give the love to companies that DON'T advertise, I do my best to get TK and AGD as much love as I can simply because my boss and I have been around long enough to know that if it wasn't for TK, paintball wouldn't be where it is. In my opinion our entire sport owes him a debt of gratitude and the way I personally am repaying my share of that debt is by giving him and his products and company the recognition it deserves. You want mags in your mags? Read PB2X and Crossfire, check out PB2X.com and enjoy.

Word of mouth is the best advertising, I can tell you right now I don't go out and buy something just because it looks good in an ad. My friends all went on an on about how the Mag was such a great gun and blah blah blah, and I said hey I need one of those

Soooo... without any influence from marketing I told my husband that's what I want for Christmas and being the good boy he is, I got it

I love my ULE RT, it makes my heart race faster than I can pull the trigger. So all the props to TK and AGD along with PB2X and Crossfire for being dediczated to keep a product alive that soooooooooo many people love!

They had a review on the tac one in pb2x about a couple of months ago

APG just had a detailed review of the RT Pro with a y-grip a couple months ago.

Different gun

Well I really dont see how it is racist but I do agree with you that people love to see the same gun reviewed in every magazine just wtih different colors its like they think its a totally different gun?

[Carbon]

Im sorry, im not one to flame but, racist is just a retarded term to desribe lack of print media exposure.

In anycase, at this point, i dont think AGD has the tooling thoroughput and capacities to handle high volume demand. Especially, the kinda of volume generated with magazine advertising. But who am i to say?

The word you are looking for is "discriminatory". Now no one can say that you have learned nothing of substance while occupying your mind with paintball.

I have two magazines heres a picture from the older one:



This was the Ratco Ad in a magazine that featured the owner in a full page interview...note the MiniMag in the picture.

Now heres a newer mag ad for Ratco...



Goes to show you how people feel about mags now adays...

this is a prime example of marketing and in marketing you must set up a relatable back ground so as the consumer feels that the item being advetised is "ment" for him. In the first add the ad was to reach the masses envolved in woodsball thus accounts for the colouring and in the second ad they were attempting to interest the masses that are envolved in speed ball thus they put a gun in that would better represent them.

You don't advertise a new camo casing to a speedball player because he/she want bright in your face colouring, and you don't advertise a hot pink mask to a woodsballer.
Its just good marketing thats it no prejudice(sp?)
