[QUOTE="rowport, post: 1746950, member: 9729"] Two suggestions: 1. Instead of just high-discounts for everything, have scaling discounts based on bundles of related stuff. E.g. 50% off base for one Pinnacle book, or 60% off two and so on up to your max discount (75%?). Or, if you are really ambitious, bundle by type of book rather than manufacturer- say, "creature/monster books" or "character books", etc. That will encourage buying more, rather than just cherry-picking the best books and leaving her stuck with the really marginal stuff. Bargain hunters (like me) are suckers for deals like this- it makes it much easier to convince yourself to leap for the questionable book if it helps get a better deal for the stuff you know you want. You could also structure it with a buy one/get one free or such- you have to do the math to see which deal is better for you, and how much good stuff vs. junk inventory you have. For the older d20 stuff, it should be fairly obvious which books are easier sells than others by this point. 2. Great point about the shrink-wrap- I hate that, personally. That prevents interior art from helping the sale, which is silly. Browsing through game books really only allows time to check out the art, so why prevent that? At the least, keep one or two display copies unwrapped, with the sale copies wrapped. (I still wonder why bother wrapping, but...) [/QUOTE]
