I'm currently doing an MBA and as part of the Marketing subject we have to pick a company and do a "marketing audit" on them - and I persuaded my company to do Sideshow Collectibles.
Its turning out pretty interesting - it appears that SSC became what it is right at the height of the dot com so I can only guess they decided to get some of that dotcom cash for themselves.
Anyway we're prohibited from contact the company directly - so I thought the Freaks board might be a good place to gather some information.
I'm really after info as to how SSC markets its products - basically just post here how you found out about SSC.
As far as I'm aware they market largely via word of mouth rather than advertising per se - but if you've seen a SSC banner on a site - post about it here.
I'll start and say I found Sideshow through a banner on www.darkhorizons.com. the banner isn't there anymore so I assume it was a paid ad rather than the affiliate program.
So tell me - where have you seen Sideshow advertised ?
