A lot of the issue, I think, is lack of information and awareness. I never knew any variants (other than Strato Chess and Star Trek's 3D Chess) existed until a few months ago.
Your (Kevin's) chess variant tournaments can help somewhat. I'm hoping to start taking one or two of my variants (at a time) to game and comic conventions here in the northwestern US late next year. These sorts of things, focused where people would gather who would (or might) be interested in these things, would be most helpful.
That, and after seeing the most recent photos that Jean-Louis posted of his own designs, he could start selling those on Etsy (and I'd likely buy a few myself if they're not too much).
