With the LAN centers it will be difficult for us to have them advertise for us. They want people to come to their store to pay and play games, not send people to ours. If the events don’t coincide with one another and we’re able to have both parties working with one another it would be exceptionally beneficial. Places such as The Nexus (since it is in Sylva) is a prime store but if they are not willing to cooperate with us to generate business for themselves then there is nothing we can do. If we are able to send people to their centers for popular tournaments (Halo, Call of Duty, etc) then maybe they can do the same for us, as long as they aren’t on the same days.
The only Gamestop we really need to be trying to work with is the one in Waynesville, if you try working with all of the ones in Waynesville and Asheville, we may be getting too far ahead of ourselves since all 4 would want us to purchase items from their stores. A way around this is to contact the District Manager for Western part of NC for Gamestop, if there is one. I believe most Gamestops are owned and operated locally at each store, but are “controlled” by the HQ of Gamestop, so if you are wanting all of them to work with us then we may have to go higher up, in which point it may be too much of them to ask since we cannot provide all 4 stores with sales.
