Survey for a Comic/Card/Game Shop! - Games

Hello! I'm Alex! I'm a new poster but a long time geek. Me and my friend are considering a small business for a Comic/Card/Game store. We want to know what people are interested in, but we need a little bit of help to find that out. So, I am asking for all of your help and attention to help me finish up this survey. It would be greatly appreciated if you would also give me some pointers below. You can find the survey Here -----> [url]http://freeonlinesurveys.com/s.asp?s...bvna7yfam70275[/url] Thanks! Sincerely, Alex If link is broken, please use this one. [url]http://freeonlinesurveys.com/s.asp?sid=yg2s5zbvna7yfam70275[/url]

Welcome to Facepunch! Firstly, your link does not seem to work for me, all I see is this [IMG]http://puu.sh/zJju[/IMG] Secondly, I find that Card/Comic/Game stores always work best when they can work as a sort of place that people can hang out, so throwing in some chairs, fridges with drinks, snacks and arcade machines such as Street Fighter may work to your advantage. If it is a more card/game based shop and you have the room, holding weekly Magic/Yu Gi Oh/Warhammer/Anything else tournaments would be a great way to attract customers. I remember when I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh, I would go to the store for a friendly tournament and end up buying several booster packs as an impulse buy and as a shopkeeper impulse buying is your friend.

Thanks! I will fix asap. [editline]9th June 2012[/editline] [url]http://freeonlinesurveys.com/s.asp?sid=yg2s5zbvna7yfam70275[/url] Should be fixed? Please do the survey.

Helps a LOT! :)

Like MaroonMak said, a couple of arcade machines set to fair prices will work wonders. You should also try to get in the good books with the more obvious nerds right away, if you're nice to them they'll bring their friends.
