Hello there!

I know this subject has been beating to death already, but I received a newsletter email which brought it up and I thought it was kind of relevant.

Other-Selves is small RPG publisher in Spain that carries some reputable games. The RPG sector, like the boardgame industry, leans very heavily on community-building to survive. What I mean is they depend on online marketing campaigns and crowdfuding to fuel and distribute their projects.

Well, Other-Selves has just annouced they are ceasing their social media presence altogether.

They gave a very detailed explanation of their reasons, but the summary is: social media is no longer increasing sales (and hasn' for years) and it takes a lot of time to maintain. THey could use the time to produce more stuff rather than maintin something thad does not work, so off-the-cliff social media goes.

It is kind of interesting because such a move would have been unthinkable 6 years ago.

Did they say what other places they advertise that are working better for them than social media?

They did not say, but I think they do a bunch of presential advertising (attending conventions and such) which is how small RPG publishers tend to reach book stores and gaming clubs.
