Questions / Suggestions for each of the marketing option :

1. E3 Convention

- Is it necessary that 3 people have to go to E3 ? There can be some saving on tickets & food if only one or two persons can go.

- How many number of cards do you get from vista print ?  Are they sufficient for number of people you meet at the convention? Also if these cards are required for other events throughout the year then can you place a big order & get some discount on that.

2. Twitter & Facebook

- Does these advertisement attract right audiences . How many responses / enquiries you get per month ?

- How much of your own time you spend on these websites per week ? ( Only for the advertisement matter)

3. Can you contract someone to improve your website & get rid of yearly rental charges to Blue Host ?

4. X BOx live : How much time you actually spend to connect with new people ? This is the only productive time you purchase.

5. Xfinity Wi fi : Is this the best plan that's being offered ? Is there a fixed period contract ?

6. Basic Web hosting : Whats this ? What's the output from this comparing to point 3 .

7. Who to do you give it to printed t shirt to ? Are you sure that the people who wear them go to gaming events. The is really expensive & needs to be assessed against the results

8. How much time is required to update you tube channel. How many subscriptions do you get from youtube per 3 month period.
