Wow. That's a lot of money. I'm sure plenty of people in this community have guns worth entering. I'm not sure about the marketing plan, though. You can't really openly market airsoft due to its negative public view. Maybe subliminal messaging?

The only thing you probably couldn't do is commercials, other than that you'd probably be good.
oh and is there a budget?

Kind of a narrow demographic to sell too... but good luck. At least you know Boobs=guaranteed sale.

get a new website that actually functions decently

fire kristin and jake and hire better replacements

fire the video and lighting crew for airsplat on-demand, looks like a 5 year old assembled it.

Yeah that would work.

+1 to airsplat putting that money into a new website. I've used them with fair results, but their site gives me a headache. One of the main reasons I started using AirsoftGI for all orders. until I found AirsoftOutletNW of course ;) Now I only use GI when they don't have what I want (which is become less of an issue as time passes).

$10,000 is a pretty small website budget ;)

I love Airsplat, from their Facebook "Referral" contests I have won a WE M14, UHC Super-9 and JG Beta AK.
For free? Not bad.
