Official ZERO Playing Card Group Buy - Poll #2: Does Size Matter?

[Ligarius]

Seeing that we have the possibility of reaching the 288 deck mark, I'll go ahead with the second poll. This one will be the make or break. It's a multiple choice poll. Please choose which options you will be willing to buy. Once the winner of this poll is decided, we'll have a run off poll for how many and colours.

Not sure if you want to add an "indifferent" option .. as I for one would be happy with either back, either size ... etc.. I can vote if needed though

I really think we need to think about how many decks each person would buy. Because if I would only buy one option, but I would buy 25 setups, that should be weighed differently than someone that would only buy 2...

All these polls have had WAY too many options to gather meaningful info. Plus they've all been anonymous - so you have no way of knowing who is actually voting and you have no way of following up with these voters.

To gather more meaningful info you need more basic polls. Either or type polls.

For example:

Poll #1: Tabriz or Infinity
Poll #2: Bridge or Poker
Poll #3: Jumbo or Standard
Poll #4: 2 pip or 4 pip

You can even add an indifferent option to each poll because there are people who are just interested in the 'magnetic' quality of the cards and don't care about any of the above - they just want zero playing cards.

And once you get a definitive answer on the most popular back design, size, and index configuration you can THEN see if there's enough interest to put in an order. But at some point we need to know what the estimated at-your-door price will be because there are some CTers who are much more price sensitive than others and won't order a setup if it costs $30.

Just my 2 cents.

So... Run this poll again with the additional variable of the # of cards to be purchased. A poll with 40+ options. If there is no easier way to do this, I'll set it up. Thoughts anyone?

Why separate these into different polls when they all be done at once to find maximum interest in any one particular product? Only problem is to figure in the number of each to be ordered.

I can do it through an outside poll...

I can do it relatively easily without the colors being a variable. If we want colors to be a variable, it will add a bunch. Are the colors going to stop anyone from buying if we still to the normal red/blue?

I doubt it, but we can discuss colour at a later time though. Go ahead and set up your poll. Send me the link, I'll a look at it and if everything is OK, I'll rerun the poll with your external link in the OP.

It doesn't look like there is enough interest in these cards to order a ton of various designs - so why approach it in that manner?

There has basically only been enough interest to order 1 setup (you need 288 decks of 1 single design for a proper setup) so why have a poll with 8 options? I don't think it's going to narrow anything down in a meaningful way.

A poll with 8 options will be splintered and it's likely that the preference of only 20%-30% of voters is going to be ruled as top choice.

With a poll with only 2 options (and possibly the 3rd indifferent option) you'll get a definitive majority for each variable.

Again, just my opinion - these zero cards look interesting and I'd defninitely like to buy a setup.

I see what you are saying, but I think it is helpful to run the poll that you can vote on every option that you would buy. Whatever is the top winner will be the option that the most people are good with. Not necessarily everyone's favorite (I'd like Tabriz, but I'd still buy Infinity), but the option the most people are willing to buy.

Here is what I set up as a poll. It isn't official yet. You can vote on it, but it won't count. If you see something that I missed, or you think would be helpful, chime in.

Poll looks good - only suggestion is that perhaps for question 3 you ask people to specify which 2 colors they want for their setups.
