They did a 'targetted 1 to 1 marketing compaign'......I read in another post.

Wonder what that could be then ? )

I did a search on GFY, not one mention of them and I don't know any other webmasters (except ones on BGAFD) that have even heard of them. Not seen them promoted anywhere on the web either. It's totally bizarre to me.

I'd hazard a guess that they employed commericial web guys who no experience at all in adult. Anyone with any of experience of the dark side would not launch that half done broken front end and go for an 'no affiliates needed / $10 per scene' model.

btw, can you actually buy the DVDs anywhere yet? I couldn't find them on sale?

The best thing at Bluebird is the very sexy and beautiful Jodie who is the general manger. I couldn't take my eyes off her at Erotica. I take my hat to you.

Could anyone from bluebird tell us if they intend to release any of their material on dvd at some stage, or will it always be just available via download

As a small producer we have had to put up with companies charming the knickers off models with big money deals, its always happens & bigger companies come along all the time. Some of the medium size companies can see what they have done to us small producers now the boot is on the other foot.
Models find it hard to get good regular work & when we film girls ourselves we tell them to start their own sites etc to keep them in pennies when things are lean, contracts look very good to most models & its their wages they worry about at the end of day.
Everybody uses hype as its good advertising so again BB have done no different to anyone else, i do not know BB but from the outside it seems sour grapes with a lot of people on here because they have more money than most. There are bigger threats happening to the Uk industry at present to worry about new companies, in a few weeks everybody will be friends & all this will be forgotten about.

Hi rgb

You learn never to get too excited in this business but 230,000 hit aint bad for a simple amateur site. You will find my http://www.kims-amateurs.com holds its own amongst the big boys.
