News 8/8-14/2011

Usually, we post this on Sunday, but for various reasons, we are later than usual.

Tomorrow, D&D Encounters starts, we’ll try to get rolling at 6:30.

Saturday is the Magic Game Day starting at noon.

Sunday will be the Warmachine Wrath Book Release event. Stop by the store to read the scenario rules, or download them

We now have two loyalty programs. The first one works for everyone: show us receipts from our Jenkintown store for $70 of full priced items, and you’ll get 10% off your entire next purchase (some restrictions apply).

The second plan for our boardgame players is called First Teacher (although we may rename it when we figure out something catchy) .

1) Buy a game at our Jenkintown store, be sure to save the receipt
2) Be the first one to play the game in store, while teaching it to a new player (solitaire games do not count). We will mark your receipt for the game.
3) Get a 20% discount off your next board game.

The list of games no longer available for First Teacher are here.

We are still calling Monday “Multiplayer Monday” for playing Magic Commander and War of Honor, we’ll see if it turns into a thing. If you have a better suggestion, we have extra tables for you to see if it works.

How you doing?

People have asked how we are doing since we moved to our new location. So, here’s a handy comparison chart of gross profit for July:

July 2011 vs 2010

The challenge, of course, is can we maintain this ratio?

News 8/1-7/2011

Our phone problems are finally fixed! Feel free to call us and we’ll answer the phone.

We will now announce our 2 frequent buyer plans. The first one works for everyone: show us receipts from our Jenkintown store for $70 of full priced items, and you’ll get 10% off your entire next purchase (some restrictions apply).

The second plan for our boardgame players is called First Teacher (although we may rename it when we figure out something catchy) .

  1. Buy a game at our Jenkintown store, be sure to save the receipt
  2. Be the first one to play the game in store, while teaching it to a new player (solitaire games do not count). We will mark your receipt for the game.
  3. Get a 20% discount off your next board game.

For now any game is available for this program. After the First Teacher has taught a game, we’ll add it to the list of game that are no longer count for the discount. Our goal is to see how many unique games we can have run in the store for the rest of the year.
We’ve got 2 things scheduled for this Saturday. At noon, a new GM is hosting the D&D Game Day for Neverwinter. You’ll make be making characters as part of the event. The characters can be used for the D&D Encounters that we will start running on Wednesday nights.

At 5PM, a Z-Man demo rep will be on site to show us the board game Grimoire.

We need to find a less expensive way to do t-shirts, the Cafe Press ones are too expensive for the pre-order quantity I am getting.

Instead of a t-shirt, you can go with an embroidered store logo like the one I’ve been wearing. For $20 each I could order a batch of these shirts from Queensboro. They are definitely stylish enough to wear at any business casual job.

We are still calling Monday “Multiplayer Monday” we’ll see if it turns into a thing. If you have a better suggestion, we have extra tables for you to see if it works.
