I work at Nextel (Mexican Sprint, but this one works), and I manage the store. My main dutty is to make sure the store looks good, it's clean, our cellphones are working, clean, and ready for the customers to come and try.
I just started this month, and sales have been so-so. On my day off, I went to the mall where the store is at, and from the outside, it looks well lit, but the phones do not draw any attention to themselves. And this got me thinking in a way to make the phones and tablets catch some attention from outside of the store.
And thus, I went to the internet. I found a few player-made videos, suck as the Pretty Lights Battle of Asakai, or the Bloodshed of B-R5RB, as well as a few trailers, such as the Odysey, Rubicon, and the infamous Apocrypha trailer.
I've had these videos playing for the past week, and from day one, everyone has noticed an increase in customer visits. Sales have not yet gone up, but visits and potential customers are on the climb.
Furthermore, I think I've gotten at least 4 people interested in the game, and I've sent out the correspoinding buddy invites.
Don't sue me CCP! This is as nice as I get. Best quote ever https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4137165#post4137165 |

I think the best advertisement for EVE is its players. Unfortunately not one of my friends play video games, much less use a computer outside of gmail/Facebook.

I don't associate with anyone outside of EVE who is actually interested in EVE. Nobody I know in person cares for Kerbal Space Program either. It's not like I don't know very many people. It's just.....what is wrong with everyone?? Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance) And bring back the missile Inquisitor!! |

They would all rather play their mindless Call of duty and other FPS rubbish. 
Also who does not like crashing rockets? Kerbal Space Program is the best! People, who talk, don't know. People, who know, don't talk.

I only know one person that plays the game and he introduced me to the game. Unfortunately, him and my younger sister are now working on a set of twins so he is no longer in game.

Your first mistake was working for Sprint.
Your second mistake was thinking that most people who want flashy new phones have evolved brains. If you think of phone customers like Tyrannosaurus Rex's whose vision is based off movement and flashy lights, you will know to play something obnoxious and possibly epileptic seizure inducing near the front window on the screens to draw them in. Once theyre in the door, you can hit them with something that will make them want to buy a phone and/or stimulate brain cells. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

Dude, just run a video of a baked potato in your store, birds of a feather... they'll buy you out.

But yeah. sprint is ****. So is not having money lol.
I havent had a chance to take pictures yet, but so far, we've seen a lot more people coming in. I don't credit it to anything other than the fact that the phones are displaying something besides what could be a sticker clock. This is as nice as I get.

If you get the right scenes in EVE, you should attract the right people to buuy phones. A lot of fleet battles are epileptic and seizure inducing. Asakai is a great example of what a typical giant clusterf++ck in EVE looks like. But you might show them these other two gems as well:
PERVS doing lowsec DD
Test Alliance - Lasers Are Magic Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance) And bring back the missile Inquisitor!! |

So, we used to have this camera shop nearby, but bit of a drive from here-nowhere, but I went there regularly for some ten years. They built a mall in the little city and the owner moved the store to the mall, so of course I kept giving him my business and went to the mall. He was there some time, but slowly business started to decrease. Finally he shut the shop down and I lost a favorite old shop. He quit because everyone had cellphones, and all those cellphones had cruddy little digi cameras on them so most people had no use for his camera shop any longer.
So let me get this straight:

I don't take pics much, but if I did, I would use a digital camera. It's much easier to get them off of those onto my computer than it is with a cell phone--assuming I don't want to pay money to have it transferred from the device to my computer.

I do, mostly for work projects. It's a powershot sx50 or something. I used to use a rebel, but wasn't overly thrilled about the current model at the time. Before that, Elan. All canon stuff, shiny!  For your cell, maybe you have a microSD slot? I have one on my old old cell (like 4yrs old), but I never take pics with it, but I have loaded music and docs onto it. I actually need to open the case and fool with it to put-in/take-out the SDcard (why I bought the model). I never heard of anyone paying to have it transferred, but I guess anythings possible. But I only mentioned cameras not to derail the thread but a reminder that all the store display models have them  |
