What Does Evil Hat Do to Support Retail?
We Make Sure That What We Offer, You Can Offer
We have a firm commitment to support our friends in brick and mortar retail stores. We’re interested in being in cooperation with you—not in competition with you. That’s why we’ve launched our pro-retail PDF Guarantee program. If a customer buys one of our products from your store, we will thank them with a free PDF of that product at no additional cost, so long as our online Print+PDF bundle of that product doesn’t charge more for the PDF portion. That way we’re not tempting customers away from you with product offers you can’t match.
We’ve been doing this for a number of years, and it’s a real hit! Turns out fans of ours appreciate not having to make a choice between being our customer and being yours. The idea’s been so popular with other publishers that we helped found Bits & Mortar, a program for making it easier than ever for retailers to provide zero-cost PDFs to their customers when customers buy a matching physical book in-store. If you haven’t joined Bits & Mortar yet, we heartily encourage you to do so.
We’ve extended this idea when we have products in preorder as well, working with retail stores to provide an “instant content preorder“—the customer preorders the game through your store, and we give you the PDF to burn to CD and hand to them right then and there. Your customer walks out with instant access to the unreleased game, and you walk away with a confirmed sale.
Similarly, our Kickstarter campaigns always have a retailer tier for those stores that can spare the cash—and we authorize you as a retailer to provide any digital extras & bennies from the campaign to anyone who preorders what we’re Kickstarting from you rather than backing the project.
