Anything I can do I will as ever, though being rather a Jenta still myself getting places is always the difficulty.

The UK Games Expo might not be the best place to go, IIRC. I've never been, but I recall reading a miniature company's review of their experience there (It might well have been a FOD company). Because the audience is not primarily in the miniature game market (is that correct?), when they are confronted with miniature games, it's a hard sell. "Why are pieces unpainted" "Why do I need to make my own board" "Why do the rules come seperately" etc. They are used to buying out of the box games... Ah, found it: I've only just noticed that UK Games Expo isn't on the list this year. Was it not quite what you expected? Well triples is a great show so it's worth it but it's the furthest we like to go really.
As for Expo, it's a boardgame convention which attracts a different crowd. I felt the organisers were a little misleading in the way they described the show to us as 'USA style convention', maybe I just expected something different. They're trying to get in the figure manufacturers too to get more through the door. You cant have it all ways. The different type of customers lead to some very rude comments (people who aren't familiar with our industry). people asking to buy a figure and being shocked saying 'oh it doesn't come painted for £3 then? Oh forget it".
Not knowing the specifics of the industry is one thing but basic manners is another. The amount of rude people that day was shocking, you compare it to the recent Crusade show in Wales where the people couldn't be nicer. (don't get me wrong, there were nice people at Expo but the idiots stick in your head!).
If it wasn't for the FOD'ers cheering me up I would have gone insane! From here.But that's by the by. I'm content because I got to see everyone at Salute |

Though i can understand the reservations, there are some miniature tournaments held there including the WM and Hordes UK masters as well as malifaux, fields of glory and Flames of war (pinched from the attendees list on the website) and then on top of that Mantic games will be there and it looks like PP will have a stand as well as tournament running. So There is definitely a miniature presence. It might be harder for a new-er company to try and crack but at the same time it could be an open market. If there are DnD players there (which there will be) They will snap up twilight. I feel convinced by it! Well i think this year its out of the question anyway but When i attend this year I will have a look round and try and see if there might be a market for twilight there |

Games expo uk 2011, held in hotel in centre of Birmingham, appears to be several conference rooms and spaces over 2 floors rather than a big Hall. This seems to severly limit the space for big games. My demo board would be considered a very big display by the organisers.
Cheapest prices (top floor furthest from entrance) is £75 for a six foot frontage. Plus £55 for a 3'x4 display table. So for the same space as at salute this year, that's £480.
I cannot speak for mike, but that's more than my total income at salute 2011.Plus there is no physical way they can get my board up to the cheap areas. It would have to be carried into the building ( no vehicle access inside. ) the table costs on the ground floor are up to 50% more than the cheapest.
Expo is simply not set up for companies of this size or in this Market.
