WE WANT TO HELP RETAILERS BUILD.
Instead of walking in and deciding for ourselves what you need, we'd like to ask you, first. Hope you'll take the survey.
Questions you have
What is RAD?
Right now RAD is an industry initiative focused on understanding what independent game stores need to be more successful. We're starting by collecting retailer data and talking with store owners. From there, the research will determine where RAD can help.
Why are you doing this?
Retail is hard. Finding good, up-to-date resources in the tabletop industry that make running a retail business better or easier? Damn near impossible. Before deciding exactly what we're going to do to help, we're asking you.
What's in it for you?
All of us here at RAD work in the tabletop industry and we love it. We aren't promising to change the world or figure out a new and novel way to separate you from your money. We just want to make the tabletop industry a better place.
Why the survey?
Well, there's not a lot of great quantitative data about the tabletop industry floating around. We want tangible, reliable data that we can use to inform our decision making; these results will help us determine what resources would be helpful and where RAD should focus its time.
Why these questions, specifically?
There's no better way to get information than to ask you directly and the first step is developing a baseline. We're asking about your business so that we can learn more about the shape of the industry and how it finds success. Finally, we want to know where better information, education, connections, or tools might help.
Is this a grift?
Fair question. No. We're all fortunate enough to find ourselves with the time and drive to make a difference and this is the thing we picked because we care about it.
TELL US WHAT YOU NEED.
It would really mean a lot to us. We do, very genuinely, want to help.
