I don’t generally plan on getting a booth at any conventions during the pre launch phase of my game, although I’m going to be going to conventions. Can I just promote my game at an open playing section of the convention. Since they are much cheaper or even free a lot of the time.

Regardless though how important are these conventions to your board games promotion?

I generally see people say directing people to your email sign up list is better, as you send them weekly updates etc but generally speaking the backer percentage is far lower than if you direct people to your Kickstarter launch page?

I’m wondering what is a better option?
