But it is now mid 2019 and I can confirm that paintball is once again growing. I manage a local field. We opened 12 years ago, and did fairly well our first year. The second and several following years were low turnout. We had to organize several big games in order to make enough to stay open. But we have built our fields up, we now have 14 unique themed fields, and are a premier field in the midwest. Our opening weekend this year we had over 1500 players show up, and every weekend so far has had big turnouts. I believe paintball is starting to grow again. Several other local fields have also had great turnouts in the past couple years. We have been very aggressive in marketing and promoting the field, work with a local paintball store. Have ads up all over the region. Our kids have started paintball clubs in their schools. I've been playing since 84, have seen pb grow from its very beginnings. The 90s were most definitely the glory days of the sport, I miss that era.

The problem lies that the industry only cared for the development of products and goods actually overwhelming the market. Forgetting what the market needs and what needs to be done to make the sport evolve. Like everything els your market needs to grow. Not the amount of goods that can be sold. So by taking diffrent aspects in consederation to make the sport evolve and get new players. Bringing back what made it to be the sport it is today. To be part of something bigger than yourself. Team spirit. And simply the challenges of an adventure.Awie Oosthuizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504022406774997875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177041349686874527.post-51009858345435538312017-05-29T21:20:10.657-03:002017-05-29T21:20:10.657-03:00Reiner hit the nail on the head.

There's your answer.<br /><br />The best hope for paintball companies and pro players is to start turning their attention to eSports, and prepare for the area in eSports where they'll do well which is augmented reality gaming. It's not here in a big way yet, but it will be absolutely massive when it hits. If paintball companies don't make that switch, they're dead.<br /><br />We're at the point where "bring your friends", "play more", "be nice to noobs" will no longer cut it, as if it ever did.Vijilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981790115639852707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1177041349686874527.post-45879130275839943952017-04-08T12:56:59.172-03:002017-04-08T12:56:59.172-03:00I agree with most everything in your post, but I t...I agree with most everything in your post, but I think you missed a key reason why there are less paintball players at the field on any given day (airsoft by the way peaked in 2012, so the continued decline in paintball since then has little to do with airsoft). Electronic gaming is using up much of people's time today. Time is not unlimited and if people are spending hours upon hours in front of a screen playing games, then they are not doing other things, like going to the field to play paintball. There has been a slow culture change where people are spending more and more time in front of screens (not just playing games) and less time doing other activities, especially outdoor activities and I'm afraid that trend is not going to be changing any time soon, or maybe ever.Reinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708006638748523856noreply@blogger.com
