[quote name='bingbangboom']We hope to make it till Christmas, right now we are working on a deal with the landlord. We hope to earn back a chunk of that money with the holidays and are throwing a 40% off used games sale. Right now we are sitting on over $40k in used products and while we do ok, that is dollars we really need to bring in new games and hardware. We have done a few things to hopefully get the word out but we really feel that the holidays will be our strongest chance to let people know about us.[/QUOTE]
Why don't you put some of that used product on Amazon or Ebay. It will at the very least get some cash coming in.
Im still a bit confused on why you thought this would be a good idea in the first place, but that is for another time I guess. May I ask how much in the hole financially you put yourself in with this idea?
What exactly are you doing to let people know about you? Unless you find some miracle way to let mom's and grandma's know about your store, Im not quite sure what you are hoping for. They are going to be the bulk of the Holiday season. You are competing against Gamestop, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Ebay etc... What exactly is your plan to get customers to your place. I don't want to sound negative but this whole process doesn't sound very well thought out.
