I would love to scatter the characters around the store and work as "helpers" to help people find general items...


Noted, but I think that's what the BB employees are for.

Think games, activities...

How about making a list of all SW related items currently available for sale, and making some sort of scavenger hunt list?

Customers who find all items (maybe mark aisle numbers on a sheet, rather than picking up and collecting items we'd have to put back) would get a small prize? BB would probably like that too - makes customers look at their products... thinking

Jason, I'll answer your question below.

Gil and I met with BB Saturday morning. even though the release is not until September, we agreed that we could use the time to carefully plan appearances. One thing that was discussed was appearing prior to the release date. We talked about coming in when pre=ordering starts (just for a couple of hours or so) as well as the weekend before the release. The release date is a Tuesday and i reminded BB that majority of the costumers work on weekdays and more than likely would not be available until after 6. They agreed that an appearance on the weekend might be better so that we can connect with a larger number of customers.

We shared some ideas of things to do (I'll keep them until the meeting wink ) and want to keep sharing ideas as they come to us.

I requested a larger area to change in. The room we had last time was not private and way too small for us. Given the fact that we are planning this so far in advance, BB said it should not be a problem making some adjustments to accomodate us.

In short, we will be appearing more than once and possibly at different stores to get maximum exposure.

So, a week later than I had anticipated earlier? 9/16/2008

*EDIT* I just checked my e-mail and that date appears to be accurate.

We will definately be available for this on 9/16.
Any earlier and we might not be back from DragonCon and a few side stops on the way home, as last year.

It's my first day of work of the new season.

But usually the game release is on Tuesday meaning the shipping on Tuesday, and stores like Best Buy get games on Wednesdays. Something to check.
