Default We have a new game that may help!

I was reading a lot of your posts and wanted to tell you about a new ESL/English game my wife and I created that may be helpful.

We have a game called PlayIt4Word and our website is www.playit4word.net.

Basically it is a parts of speech/grammar game. Please check out the site and let me know if you have any feedback.

Also if you think our game would be helpful to anyone please feel free to put our info anywhere you want!

Kindest Regards,

Steven Climer

Steven - Great game and good luck with the site.

Is there any reason you don't have previews of the downloads. I'm sure you'd have more buyers, if you had a preview of whatever it is they'll get. If you don't want to show the cards up close, snap a few pictures of people playing the game or a picture of the game cards printing out.

Anyway, just some thoughts as I was looking through the site.

Best of luck with it!

Happy teaching,
Mark

I was noticing the same thing. It's hard to get a feel for the game without some visual aids. However, like Mesmark mentioned, you run the risk of people 'acquiring' the materials without purchasing them.

Also, no disrespect, but with so many FREE English learning activities and ideas out on the internet, why do you feel people should buy your product?

Also, please don't think I'm attacking your product, but your site says: "Our cards are also handcrafted with care, and cards might not all be uniform after cutting...Expect a few blemishes or things of that nature." No disrespect intended, but if I'm going to be paying $10+ dollars for a card game, I would expect a certain level of quality.

That being said, good luck with your sells.
