I ONLY run events to promote our cause, at a financial loss to me. My shop, and our groups/causes benefit later. ol tony
Which IMHO is just plain redonkulous Tony! There isn't a reason you should lose money unless you are running a special where liquidation is your goal or instead of paying a bunch for advertising its spent on the event which in a sense is advertising. You run a store that sells officially licensed Star Wars merchandise. That's enough for LFL. Maybe we should talk off screen later but I can offer any assistance you may want, need or not need. LOL
Well Rob, this shop has lost money since it opened. I have thrown most everything I had saved my whole life into it, and mortgaged the rest. I was really starting to do well, then the economy tanked 3 yrs ago. All I wanted out of this shop was to pay the bills, recover what I invested and make a difference. Well 2 outta 3 ain't bad, everything I invested is probably gone. As far as no profit during events, that is returned later with new, and repeat, customers. Well enough of this, those of you that know me hear too much of this complaining already. We all just keep fighting the good fight.........ol tony
