TOP TEN: Signs your store isn’t family friendly enough

Ronnie Dungan • MMR Global • July 31, 2015

Every store needs new customers, right? But, let’s face it, you would much rather be selling a proper bass rig to your mate from Sonic Vomit than a violin to an eight-year old. And yet, is that really wise? Maybe you’re sending out the wrong signals…

 

10: That sign saying “No Children at a Time.”

9: One too many posters of this guy….

8: I mean, as shop names go, it’s good, but maybe you should have gone for something other than “Drum Bastard”.

7: By all means have it in the back office, but Playmate of the Month? In the window? Come on.

6: Pentangles drawn in blood are not point of sale material

5: A stack of amps is not an ‘activity zone’.

4: That ‘buy one, look like a ponce’ offer on bassoons.

3: The use of psychotropic substances will not ‘open the doors of perception’ in a nine-year old trombone student

2: Amp department guys. The ‘how deaf is the pensioner?’ volume test.  Must stop.

1: Gary Glitter clinic.
