Where and how do you reach your target market?

I was hope to share marketing ideas and the like here. In reality my target market is the Gamer / cosplayer / ren fair kind of people. So I really need to pull them into Etsy.

So I was wondering where other went to reach their target market? How do you advertise?

I currently have a Facebook page but don't really push there, I haven't had a strong gamer feed back there.

I do have a tumbler blog and I do feel a lot of my views are coming form this location, it certainly gets a lot more activity there then I really though it would.

I also do pinterest, and though it is not as active as tumbler I it does have more then I really expected it would.

I have also been working a couple of new sites in general to see if I can either increase view traffic here at the Etsy store or if my items just might not sell better elsewhere.

Try reddit. You'll almost always find a subreddit perfect for what you need. But I recommend you have a decent looking stock and shop before doing so, because you're basically going to get all your views at once (ie, all the regulars in that subreddit will see your post when you post it, all at once), so you're going to want to make a lasting impression when you decide to do it.

I wound up getting tons of views and sales when I posted in the botany subreddit, then all at once the views stopped after all the regs had seen it.

You could also give Instagram a go, with hashtags you think the ol' geeks will like. You know your demographic better than I.
