Hi All,
Just out of interest, i'm wondering if anyone has heard of any type of volunteer groups??
Usually groups of volunteers taken on by manufacturers and or distributors.
Eg. Street Teams are the same thing for music.
Eg2. I know card gaming companies (Wizards of the Coast, Decipher etc..) have volunteer programs, as i'm a convert from card/miniature and board gaming to the XBOX upon its initial release (i always dabbled and bought the latest consoles, but didn't give them the time they rightfully deserved until the xbox changed my perspective ;-) )
Reason why i'm asking, is because i'm actually a Carpenter by trade and am now a trainer in the construction field. Because i deal with so many blokes in their late teens (ideal target range for consoles etc..) I'm in a key position to amp xbox (esp the 360), so things like demo disks, magazines, flyers, stickers, posters and perhaps games as prizes themselves will help floodstream my area with xbox users instead of ps2-3, gameboy and psp.
Its just an idea. I suppose nothing exists, but perhaps someone should consider doing something like this for people in my position - i'm sure it'll help in making xbox the best on the market.
What do you guys think anyway - perhaps this kind of thing cant be aptly applied to the elctronic gaming industry, OR perhaps it would kick butt ;-)
Maybe larger retail outlets would be interested in doing such a thing, if the creators of the games/console arent' interested?
