Hold on, guys. I don't know when or even if HO will change their hours, so don't be deluging them with calls. They have not made a final decision.
What would be a good idea is to let them/Todd know how much you enjoy the Sunday matches, that it's because of these matches you discovered HO and/or has turned you into a one of their customers.
I know some of you frequent HO quite a bit, but THEY don't know it's because of the matches.
I've asked everyone to call Todd in the past to convey your gratitude for allowing us to put on matches there. How many of you called? Honestly?
If a business thinks they can make more money doing one thing instead of another, why shouldn't they do that? The only answer I come up with is perhaps they're not aware of the money they're actually making doing the first thing. Ok, so if they're not aware, whose fault is it?
Since it would be nearly impossible for them to track each shooters' purchases over the past year, I submit that the fault lies with us. If you go buy from another retailer where service ranges from bad to insulting, but you can save $5 over HO, what are you thinking?
Next time you stop by HO (on a non-match night) tell them how much you appreciate their selection, friendly, knowledgeable staff AND for allowing the matches.
HO needs to understand how these matches impact their bottom line overall, not just on match nights. (which, in the big picture, is negligible)
Let's do that first.
I guess we are all good looking! Looking forward to the next match.
