[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 7750508, member: 18182"] There are a number of stores run poorly in general, and often those stores make Free RPG Day a total fail and disappointment for their customers. If all the store does is purchase a box of swag to hand out, even if they do put up signs, it is a wasted opportunity. Smart stores make it an event. Advertise! Host organized-play games! Have a sale! Smart stores leverage Free RPG Day and make it a profitable and worthwhile event. Your FLGS is run by a fool. One of the stores in my area was the same, they would just get the box of swag, and a know-nothing employee might ask if you want anything when making a purchase. Surprisingly, the manager decided the event "wasn't worth it" and stopped participating. Knuckleheads. Meanwhile, across town, a newer store doesn't leverage Free RPG Day to its fullest extent, but does make a day out of it and draws quite a crowd. The stores get out of this marketing event what they put into it. Whew! That's my rant! [/QUOTE]
