Quoted from PinSinner:Let's be honest though, this is Pinside. I am not referring to the general Public. There is a very detailed thread on this forum dedicated to said pinball machine with regular updates. The thread is being bumped to the top of the queue every 24-48 hours. Can you honestly say that Pinsiders should not be aware of Homepin and TAG progress. Come on.
If a number of polls on a dedicated pinball forum are repeatedly omitting/overlooking a particular title then clearly there is a disconnect between "being aware of" and "considering as a viable purchase choice".
And by extension, if dedicated pinball purchasers are not making that connection in their mind then how will the general public?
That's what brand salience is. Utilising a marketing strategy and shifting a product's image from just being aware of to becoming a recognised choice in a purchasing decision.
