Edmonton Store Tours

[fishoholic]

It was only the first year we did store tours that everyone tried to meet together as a group. The first store had sales from 11-12, the second one from 12-1 etc. The problem was the 1st 2 stores got a lot of business and then people lost interest and numbers dwindled off from there, for example, I think we started with around 30 or more people and we ended with 3. In the years since we have had the tours split up between days (so people wouldn't get bored after the first 2 stores) and we've had it as an all day sale so people could come and go as they choose.

This way if you had morning plans you could show up in the afternoon or vice versa, and still manage to be apart of it. Also it was good for the smaller stores to have the business spread out throughout the day instead of having a ton of people show up all at once and have the single store employee running around like a chicken with their head cut off trying to help 20-30 people all at once.

Keep it clean boys or we'll confine you to your vendor forums.

I would like to thank both vendors that have already gone through this I went down to both stores and was pleasently suprised Aquarium Illusions even had a sign welcoming us Canreefers!

Looking forward to the next weekend of shopping, there may be some minor changes TBA.
