Q: Do you use the promotional materials (floor dumps, posters, point-of-purchase displays) that manufacturers make available? If not, why not?" Very rarely, we dont have the space. -Derrick Bang Game Preserve Davis, CA "We use a few (point-of-purchase displays), but only countertop displays, no floor dumps or posters." -Doug Aldritch Games People Play Cambridge, MA "Yes, when we can get them. We get them from distributors, who don't always tell you about what's available." -Bill Winski Things for Thinkers Tucson, AZ "We use posters and such freely We have no trouble getting them." -Andre Prada Games of Berkeley Berkeley, CA "Some posters, but we don't have space for floor dumps. New games go in the window." -Andy Metz Excalibur Hobbies Arlington, MA "Posters use up too much wall space. Floor dumps stock too many of one item. Co-op advertising and advertising slicks are real useful." -Frank Kaebler Game-A-Lot Santa Cruz, CA "Not very often, we have no floor space. -Kim Monk Sawmill Hobbyland Columbus, OH "The standing Superman figure for DC Heroes from Mayfair is very good. We like to hang two posters back-to-back from the ceiling, which saves wall space." -Andre Supranovich Game World Chester, NJ "Some, I use, as long as they don't have the manufacturer's phone number and mail-order address on them!" -Scott Newberry Yankee Doodle Games and Hobby Kansas City, MO Back to Table of Contents -- Game News #11 To Game News List of Issues To MagWeb Master Magazine List © Copyright 1986 by Dana Lombardy.
