Okay, well I've lost your thread for promotions, so I'll post something here that I thought up.
You know all of those independent retailers out there in our towns and cities?
You know how they struggle to compete with the major chains?
You know how people are always asking if you're going to open more stores, but the money ain't there?
Well do you think you could approach some of these independent retailers and suggest that they become a franchise store of yours?
Charge them a little for the SR name, and they'd be able to benefit for the economies of scale that being a part of a chain can bring.
SR are pretty well known by internet game shoppers, but not so much in the high streets. If some independent retailers in some prominent towns and cities suddenly became "Special Reserve" shops then more people would see the name, and know of you. Surely then this would help bring traffic to the website.
I'm not really sure how realistic an idea this is, but could it be worth looking in to?
This time next year, Tony, we'll make you top of the UK's rich list, you just wait and see! ;-)

I'm assuming you haven't lost that sort of money then Tony?
I hope SR is still going strong in many years time.

Split profitability.
Not enough profit in this game to do it.
er- what profit. Still fighting off a certain competitor who has lost £75 Million in two years! And some stupid sod who sells PS2's at full price on the promise that you get half your money back (but then doesn't pay up).

Thats a good point!
Tony, what happens to all the money we help you make? Are you going to share it out with us or something?
:-)
