Introducing the

www.ffmediacenter.com Dear Hobby Games Retailer, On November 1st, 2010, Fantasy Flight Games introduced a unique new tool to revolutionize how a publisher is able to directly support the hobby games retailer. The Fantasy Flight Media Center (FFMC) is an exciting and powerful sales tool that sits on your retail shelf, surrounded by the very products it promotes. Since its launch last November, the FFMC has proven to be a resounding success for retailers just like you. Today, over 100 FFMCs are helping retailers sell FFG products in hobby game shops across North America and more are being shipped out every week. The FFMCs custom chassis is built around an iPad running proprietary software coded from scratch by Fantasy Flight Games Interactive Department. Its purpose is simple: to help you consistently sell more FFG products by empowering and informing customers and staff. The stunning, high-denition device displays an ongoing showcase of FFGs spectacular game trailers, product news, game tutorials, and more. Simply tap its screen to navigate through the extensive list of product-specic videos. The FFMC will convert your store into a hub of up-to-the-minute product updates direct from Fantasy Flight Games, as well as seamlessly and automatically refresh its content with zero effort on your part. This unprecedented functionality means your customers will be among the rst in the world to experience late-breaking news and visual interactive content from FFG, keeping your store on the cutting edge of technology. Here are just a couple of comments from fellow retailers about their experiences with this device. Youll nd more testimonials and information on the website! http://www.ffmediacenter.com.

Why would you want a Fantasy Flight Media Center in your store? Here are a few good reasons
Directly harness FFGs most powerful promotional tool Unlike any other publisher in the hobby games industry, FFG maintains an internal media department that continually creates top-notch video trailers, late-breaking announcements, and informative tutorials for FFGs products. In the past, your customers would have been required to visit FFGs website to view these remarkable creations. No more! The FFMC brings our compelling visual content into your store, right onto the shelf where your customers and FFGs products meet. The FFMC is easy-to-use and low maintenance Our proprietary software includes an interface designed to be intuitive and unobtrusive. The result? It just works. Via the multi-touch interface, your customers and staff can easily navigate the application with a tap, viewing content on demand. It places your store on the cutting edge of game retailing and FFG news The attractive and interactive FFMC terminal will give your store increased energy, while contributing to its modern and professional atmosphere. Whats more, since your FFMC can be updated with new content hourly, your store will be broadcasting the latest and greatest news from FFG (including new videos, news, and attractive graphics) on an ongoing basis. Your shelf will become an exciting hub of late-breaking FFG news, including exclusive sneak peeks and scheduled product announcements. We want your customer to tell you: I saw it here rst. It sells games like an extra employee When not in direct use, the FFMC automatically broadcasts an FFGdesignated playlist of game trailers, news, and exciting visuals. When youre busy with other customers or tending to the register, your general customer trafc will surely be attracted to the content and games advertised, and informed by the easy-to-use software. Content updates are automatic Via your WiFi connection, the FFMC will check in with FFGs central servers on a frequent basis (several times an hour). If new content on our servers is available, the FFMC will start downloading that content behind the scenes. When ready for consumption, the new content is seamlessly integrated into the browsing and playlist experience. Can enhance your staffs product knowledge During both initial eld testing and in the subsequent months, we have discovered that not only does the terminal entice and inform customers, but it quickly broadens the retail staffs product knowledge. Armed with this information, retail staff were able to speak with more authority and detail about FFG products, an important step to increasing sales results.
