marketing...

[mrchyles]

I would be very interested in hearing your marketing approach and philosophy Joe.   I don't ever recall seeing a tv commercial, or any ad really; besides forums and the like.  This seems to be a big aspect that is missing in the neuros projects.  A lot of friends of mine would have been extremely interested in getting a Neuros product, but didn't hear about them until I saw that they bought a competitors product and told them they should have asked me and got a Neuros product.   I go to the University of Washington, and many DAC companies and entertainment corporations set up boothes for the students to peruse.  Ever thought about setting something like that up?  I think it would be a great way to get the OSD and other products out there, and in the minds of a huge  consumer base.  All it would take would be some fliers, a booth, and an employee to run it; and maybe some sample products.  If you set up boothes at various campuses, I believe you would see a jump in sales...  It doesn't need to be a daily thing, maybe once a week, or once a month.   I would like to hear what you (as well as other forum goers) think about advertising, and the booth idea.

I think MrChyles has something there.
It worked with people here, at the University of Toronto.

Imagine, OSD lab projects for the computer science student..........

You supply the hardware platform, the projects are endless, all those unexplored minds.........

I think it's a great idea.  Universities and particuliarly those with significant technical programs are right in the bullseye of our target market.  Now the question is just how to implement.

What we need to do is find passionate students from a campus that we can support with the material you mention and then compensate them, per day or better give them a coupon code from which they get a comission or something like that.  Any volunteers?

I would be willing to set up a UW franchise.  I will send you an email Joe with some ideas and what not.

What I would suggest to anyone interested in this is that perhaps the easiest way to get started is for us to offer a student/faculty discount coupon.  It would give money to you, and also give a discount to anyone you turn on to Neuros.  It's also worth noting that we  already have an affiliate program setup, so anyone that wants to promote the Neuros on the web can do so with the following program that we've setup.  See http://www.neurosaudio.com/is/affiliate.asp
