How long is temporarily?
« on: February 18, 2008, 06:42:25 AM »
"...we felt the only option was to temporarily step away from the PBA."

Will Visionary ever step back to the PBA? Or am I the only one that cares?

Let's first see how long the PBA lasts, especially with their doing things like reducing first prize from $40K to $25K. I wonder if they're NOW making money??

Hi Seldent,

I wish that I could tell you we had a positive outlook on it, but I really can't.  The registration continues to go up each year, and the value of it seems to be going down.  Unfortunately, people simply aren't watching the PBA events as much as they used to, and the promotional return just isn't there.

We were hoping that the PBA would change the registration format, so that it made more business sense, but that hasn't happened yet.  If you want to discuss this in more detail, feel free to email me at vbpadvertising@aol.com
