1. 24 hours wat time wor?2. a full next gen consule like?
3. buy?i tot of getting stuff for free..probably buy some pirated games if the shop has it sorry we only sell original4. like any other corporate services would do yes5. of course more because the more the better yes

1. 10am to 10pm hmm?
2. ps3
3. nothing
4. free gaming, free tea, and most importantly beautiful sales girls
5. all choices, because ur shop will bankrupt if just selling xbox360

perghhh dr hari tu tak bukak2 lg kedai ko?  

1. Most probably from 10am to 10pm from Monday to Sunday at an easy accessible location
2. Freebies - No need...Just have those Buy 1 Free 1 offer (make sure we can buy any game and choose any game we want)...
3. Go there sure buy games la...
4. Friendly service...Service with a smile even if we ask stupid question or keep on bothering you (like Bro Bernard. ...i salute him for having such patience.... ..)
5. Why r u targeting onli 360 business? of cos target all consoles......u think onli 360 gamers buy ori??most Wii and PS3 owners play ori ...

hahaha... radical dreamer?

hahaha... radical dreamer?

i am sure by now most malaysians dont expect freebies dropping from the sky... as long as there is a large variety of games n the price is reasonable...i dont c y u wont do well....unless u screw things up and ppl start complaining about ur shop's staff or prices or services.......which we have a thread for "cheater shops to avoid" here.........then u r officially screwed...

Cheap PS3 games!!!

1. Normal operating hours of 10 am to 10 pm should suffice since thats when people come out of their homes for shopping, especially weekends.

2. Depending on what kind of freebies you want to give out, you'll be shooting yourself in the leg. I've never seen any console accessory that is cheap enough to give away freely in large quantities. Perhaps it would be a better idea to give out some strange discount coupons that offers storewide discounts. Make its design strange so it will leave a lasting impression.

3. Angkasawan game. Sorry jkjk. Most likely to be games if the prices are attractive.

4. Don't scold me when I look around and ask about prices but not buy anything. Also, don't bother me too much when I am in the shop. Some sales people tend to get really annoying, recommending something you don't want when they don't have the product that you want available. You could also offer to order items online for products you don't sell or do not plan on selling. How you work that out so that people don't stiff you is another matter.

5. It would be a lot funner if you offered a larger variety of products. At least I know where to go when I am looking for something.

Grand opening? Open any time also can lah, not much ppl will notice one, just make sure u put enough banner nearby, put it for a month or two.

open midnight laa
easy for us to lepak

Grand opening time should be after lunch hour, maybe around 2 to 3 on a weekend. Most shopping malls, Low Yat at least, are packed around that hour. Put some big LCD tv demoing the latest games. People are attracted to colourful pictures so they should swarm there like flies.

1. 10am-10pm

2. modded consoles and pirated DVD (If you take risk) or orig consoles and ori DVD) and games accessories and peripeherals.

3. fair price, discount, cheaper than other shops

4. depend on customer satisfaction

5. all consoles, cause people have different style and game.

1. Pukul berapa saya boleh buka in the opening day?

2. What freebies you would suggest for 1st day opening?

3. What will you want to buy during our 1st day?

4. What kind of services you would like us to have?

5. Do you agree on we mainly target on xbox 360 console only or open for more choices like ps3, Wii, PSP, NDS and etc. Why?

1) Dont open at high noon (ie:12pm sharp)...they say bad luck if you do...so open it at 12:10 or 12:07 very good times cause the sun in good place. ( Im good at these myths and legendslah

2) Maybe a pamphlet or catalogue detailing all your products and a RM20 coupon on a preorder sounds cool...

3) I dunno...maybe a new stylus or a DS game or a UMD or a 360 game....since im looking for these stuff anyway

4) Repairs....alot of forummers here get the shaft on console repairs...its cool if there a technician or somebody qualified at hand...or at the very least...a shipping service to a repair dealer...that means we pay for shipping...and the repair site does the rest

5)No no diversify...think about it...pavillion is smack dab in KL's hottest shopping area...so customers looking for a choice dont go back disappointed after being told that you dont sell Wii or PS3...

Alright man..i hope my 2 cents is worth it to you..

alright im on a role...

on the topic of getting new people to come into the store....maybe you should have a display...make sure you got some speakers to go with it...any brand will be fine...heck even the speakers on your PC will work...

let some guys play Team Fortress 2 (make sure you got LAN so you could tell new customers about online services---alot of people ask believe me )

The reason why i chose TF2 is cause its simple to pick and play for the casual shooter fans but at the same time its hardcore enough for the Rambo and Schwarzenegger among us....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
also why not have a "customer flower launch"??

Like bees coming to a flower and getting pollen for honey...

Bees:Customers
Flower:You
Pollen:Games and related game stuffs   
honey:customer satisfaction

Its a new name on an old idea....get something that will get the crowd in..
Wii Sports will work great....have a tournament for the crowd and offer them some small prizes like a free mag subscription or  RM40 coupon for use in your store...

The flower idea will not only generate public interest but also build yourself a customer base on the first day...

These will result in two things.....a long line in front of your store...and people on the balconies looking down at your store...either way...both groups would want to enter just to see whats going on.

In other words....plenty of exposure

1. Before 12.30noon. Cater for pre & post lunch crowd.

2. Pair up with Microsoft or Samsung/LG (will get to this later) to give freebies. I am sure they can throw in caps, key chains or anything spare they can find in their store. Instead of giving it out free entirely, create a survey form which focuses on criteria or requirements aligned to yr business benefits. Hence, u wanna it free - fill up the form first.

3. Cheap & reliable - like a RM999 Xbox360, 2 controllers, 1 game & 3 yrs warranty by local Microsoft. That would be sweet!

4. Spa & massage. Imagine chilling out at a comfy couch playing yr fav title in a hot tub followed by a relaxing massage. Just kidding, doubt yr shop is big enough to facilitate this. Back to the subject, services is very subjective as u hv to balance out what u hv and what u wanna do. The other thought - door step delivery or pickup withing 5km radius of where u are located.

5. Depends on yr business alignment, whether u wanna to be deemed as a specialist or jack of all trades. But in the console arena, I can say its rather pointless to sell 1 brand only as I am sure u would like to reap the most profit out of sales. If I dont wanna buy an apple, I am sure u would try to offer me to buy a banana. If banana aint going to work for me, here comes the orange. Nevertheless, u might want to focus or target Xbox360 as yr mainstream which might do u good in terms of reputation and creditability.

Back to the MS & Samsung/LG. Since u say u r going to collaborate together with a PDA retail outlet - y not get Microsoft to involve/sponsor some stuffs and presence to make the event more interesting? Its going to be a win-win for u & PDA retail. PDA retail upsells their Windows Mobile 5/6 devices and u sell X360 with superb freebies from MS. At this point in time, u might also want to promote Xbox Live which is the next gen multiplayer gaming experience. Everything is networked this days. PDA retail can demonstrate how good MS's push mail or whatever services over the air is available.

Samsung/LG: Another sponsor u might wanna tie up to. Might sound far fetched to get like 10 units or more. But a few units of the latest panels would do good for their promotion. For eg Samsung, they keep advertising their LCD TVs has got this game mode which gives vibrant colours n such. Reel them in and prove it. This is only 1 half of the whole bit. Do take note that the agenda of them putting there is NOT to sell their panels that day itself. For this bit, reel in MBF Cards. They r currently running a promo for RM3900 for Samsung LCD TV. Subscribe for credit card, get cheap LCD TV and buy a Xbox360 from u. U get to kill 3 birds with one stone. Might sound far fetched, but the more options available, the better - for all.

one word...cosplayers....

i dont think anyone has been crazy enough to do it

Get some random guys to dress up as some video game characters...but not like Snake..

Get some cute little guys like Pikachu or Mario to get the kiddies in...

1. Before 12.30noon. Cater for pre & post lunch crowd. Let me consult Lilian and & i see how.

2. Pair up with Microsoft or Samsung/LG (will get to this later) to give freebies. I am sure they can throw in caps, key chains or anything spare they can find in their store. Instead of giving it out free entirely, create a survey form which focuses on criteria or requirements aligned to yr business benefits. Hence, u wanna it free - fill up the form first. This wan i say yes definitely though without my boss consent

3. Cheap & reliable - like a RM999 Xbox360, 2 controllers, 1 game & 3 yrs warranty by local Microsoft. That would be sweet! No, this is too good to have but for lucky draw...maybe!

4. Spa & massage. Imagine chilling out at a comfy couch playing yr fav title in a hot tub followed by a relaxing massage. Hey i really give some deep tot on this and keep saying to myself why not, why not..... Just kidding, doubt yr shop is big enough to facilitate this. Back to the subject, services is very subjective as u hv to balance out what u hv and what u wanna do. The other thought - door step delivery or pickup withing 5km radius of where u are located. Well we have website online support and we also cater for delivery throughout the whole state of Malaysia, say you book online today, we deliver to your doorstep within 1 day (dhl, gdex) we will see.

Nevertheless, u might want to focus or target Xbox360 as yr mainstream which might do u good in terms of reputation and creditability. Yeah our soft launching will be solely based on Xbox360 as i want microsoft to support me, later i definitely invite Sony and Nintendo to step in...yes we wan to cater to bigger market share

Credit card facility is already in our listing services and i see no reason this cant be done....

A simpler method would be to provide a stamp card, like one stamp for every RM 50 purchase. Collect a total of 100 stamps to be able to redeem something in the store. 1 point for you lah

By the way, where is the location of this store? Pavillion?

Btw, what exactly was your plan before you asked for our opinions here?

1. sell cheaper games - for 360 games the price > RM160. it will be great if u can sell below Rm150 ,   
2. fast - get and sell the new games fast , if possible the same day as singapore release.
3. provide free post service to whole malaysia.
4. promotion every month for older title.

wow so you are opening one in LowYat... do sell online also...
cos a lot of the gamers also from else where...
like others said... good to have local warranty not SG...
or you can provide special one la...
then games price is not too high...
coz somewhere else is selling som gadgets for a must higher price...
example they sell one thing over RM200 but instead the PA only sell around RM170 only...

so be more competitive that wat should others said...

one more... give is the address and also contact of ur shop... 
this weekend i won be in KL... but i'll visit you on next week...

I'm just wondering why the secrecy about the address. You know lowyat plaza isn't THAT big, and if you reveal the location earlier people can crowd around your store instead of trying to find it.

Believe me, if you don't have a killer incentive for people to look for your shop, they won't bother. So why not just give us the address?

-- Open Hr From 10am - 10am. ^^

-- Provide shipping facilities to selected country. (just becoz i am currently studying in Australia, and while i compare the price here and malaysia, some soft malaysia are cheaper than here.) already in our customer service list!

-- from the shipping facilities above, create a Simple website will be great enough for ur customer. we r goint to utilise the pda website we collaborate with....everything revealed after sunday!

-- FULLY understand those product ur sell and can answer those question ur customer ask, DUN TELL LIE.* We hate those who sell refurbish units in general hospitals...u think who is liar wor

-- Good Communication skill. well is a basic skill of surviving, amust

-- Up to date ur stok ! ok noted
----- Bla Bla Bla.

  Good Luck, Might be visit ur place while i back to Malaysia soon !

If I really cared about earning arbitrary "points" I can just turn my 360 on and play for Gamerscore, LOL.

My ideas are there, whether you want to "reward" or not.

1) Reveal your location After sunday, clock hit 12.01am in monday

2) Reveal your strategy If you read my post since day 1, u shud not ask this

3) Give people a reason to visit your outlet. Pricing, genuine console, 3 yrs ms waranty, easy payment credit card, leverage on gamers network and a future servicehub...

Why would some one be so scared to reveild their shop exact location. Scared that someone sabatage and do a grand opening ceremony rite beside his shop??

Frankly speaking, honnesty is the best policy.

yoyo...wat's up bro.... mofarkor = 无花果      

prove urself is realiable seller
promise has been made b4

we want to see
is it true wat u has been saying or just another twilight zone story

Thing wil be cheaper than PA?
Boss, when u open shop?
I wanna buy Wii Dance Mat.

yea... i'm loyal to a reseller if he quote me a good price...
any wanna buy game i also recommend TSB, Benard, Djiin and PA...
cos they are well repute here... not talk only... they give me some reasonable price also

You always started the thread with motivation and excitement, but everytime when LYN forumers criticize you, judging you, talk about you, you never step forward to defend your self, you never give us a reply.
Ok this is my way of doing business and i always brainstorm myself how to stand differently and creative....ok i hope i reply, step forward and defend myself here.

You only make us guess, feel suspicious, ....what's with all this business ehtics!! Dun get it wrong, this is strategy to create some healthy hype to arouse curiosity and people attention to promote my new shop


If you can't take all this, how would anyone here support you? Lowering price is really tempting, but i would say a lot of the forumers over here prefer good after-sales service. I will eventually improve and pls give me a chance to earn your thrust

ooohhh  here we go again

respect ur atitude
say sorry at open public to view

they will visit ur therad from time to time
so better not try to con gamers at here

but will see how ur shop going
is it only nice in forum or u tryingto help us as good as u can
