I agree with Fergie. A suggestion box or a Customer Survey would be very helpful in determining what his customers and potential customers want. <br /> <br />I think the "How To" books and vids are a must. I do like the idea of video rentals, not only would this help people who are "in" modeling but might be helpful to those "just looking." <br /> <br />Also a mailing list of his current customers would be good. As an incentive to sign up for a mailing list he might offer a special one time discount or a gift certificate for a certain dollar amount. Then he could send out mailings and special notices of discounts, sales, new items in stock, close-outs, etc. <br /> <br />Special days could also be set aside for experienced modelers to come in and do "clinics". Area modelers could also be invited to bring their layouts (size permitting) for special displays and at certain times (Christmas comes to mind). Remember, "A picture is worth a thousand words", and there is nothing like "putting your hand on it." <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
