Haha I didn't plan on that, or telemarketing. Both are horrible ways to gain favor...

I put other for the first question, usually ads in magazines catch my eye the most.

You must have a quality product at a decent price. Otherwise you can kiss business goodbye.
Unless of course you have stupid clients who think that breaking 3-4 pipes a month is normal.

Quality product at a decent price is a given, but it's common knowledge that quality costs a bit more. The store front I was looking at is quite large, I could easily fit pipes from all kinds of vendors and qualities. It's more in my intent to provide something for everyone, with varying price and quality.

Selection and variety is what you want to go for. One of the guys who just opened a shop here hardly has shyte for selection.

I voted. I put in Other on question1 - I usually see ads in the local free papers. We have a New Times and City Link here that have all the cool stuff to do in town. So I check those out for events, parties, etc. and then I happen to see the headshop ads.
Additionally, I'm always looking for stores or vendors to help move my own stuff (pendants, patches, prints, etc.). So let me know as you get set up and we'll figure something out

Sponsoring a local small event or a band's show with your name everywhere at the event can help also.

Other: Word of mouth
You should have something that other headshops don't have...

Indeed, I have a couple of excellent custom blowers working with me. I design a lot of new things and they bring my vision to life. There are a lot of one of a kind pieces coming out of these guy's work shops.
Ok, so word of mouth and networking are two of the more valuable tools for advertising, as well as good quality and price. Most of the people will be between 18-24 by a long shot and most people are willing to travel for an impressive head shop.
I'm sure all of this information will remain consistent but I still need 100 votes to make the research valid!
I appreciate all of your input and good wishes. When I open my store, just mention you are a "fellow shroomerite" and I will hook you up with some deals!

It's good to hear that you have some one of a kind stuff coming in...
The headshop world is way too saturated with mass produced SHIT.

Well to tell you the truth, I have to carry something for everyone, in all kinds of budgets. I carry a lot of one of a kind products, but I also carry bullshit for people that just need a pipe at any cost... That's a tactic of any head shop you will come across, even though I am most proud of the quality pieces I carry. Especially starting out,I need to satisfy all buyer's needs, though the skilled buyers will be able to identify quality over quantity..

I can't view the results, so I started thinking that maybe it didn't tally my vote, so I clicked the same choices again and hit submit, and it just clears the check marks, but doesn't show me the results...So I'm not sure if it recorded me twice or not at all...
