Lava Grande Lamps For BTC
    #5786672 - 06/24/06 01:58 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

Does everyone know those huge fucking, 250 oz Lava brand lava lamps?



Now, I know a lot of us here at the Shroomery are in college, and I have a question. Do you think people would buy these for their dorms, for back to college? For about $50?

Of course, I suspect Shroomery members who attend college might be more inclined to buy lava lamps than other college kids, :smirk:, but supposse there was a nice feature of these at Wal*Mart, do you think they'd sell?

I ask because I bought one at Wal-Mart last Christmas, and they only had it as a one-time deal. I'm now the department manager of furniture, and we carry some of the smaller Lava brand lamps. It should be within my ability to contact them, since they are an authorized supplier, and make an order, get some replacement bulbs as well (you can't find the right size around here, not even at Spencer's), and perhaps a clip strip of the lava night lights. If I followed through with it in the next week, I'd be able to get it in with enough time to ensure people saw them and had a chance to think about it, and hopefully buy them by the end of August... I'd have to get approved by the store manager as well, but I thought I'd ask people to see if college kids would buy them...

What do you think? Would kids still see a huge fucking lava lamp and want one in their dorm, or what, even if they don't do drugs? :grin: If I do get them, and I have to end up putting them on clearance, then that will fucking blow. :lol:

Thanks for the help! :mushroom2:

Peace. :mushroom2:

they'd probably sell around here

might depend on how big / what kind of college it was for where you are though...

the day after Labor Day (move-in day), like September 6-8 or something, drive to your local college dorm, those would sell like hotcakes.

I'm in South Dakota, so I know there are a couple of different, smaller colleges around here, but I also know that a lot of students ship out to other areas, so if we got them out by the middle of July, I think perhaps it might catch their eye as well... I'd drive out to the dorms, but it is Wal*Mart, and doesn't work like that... :grin:

I'm just wondering if there would be interest in them... I know that Target is selling them online for lke $75, and we could completely stomp them, so we could even print off that and hang it on there....

I just didn't know if people going to college would have an extra $50 to spend on one, or that they wouldn't care for one anyways... :shrug:

Yeah, but huge fucking lava lamps are cool things, not stupid things. :grin:

At Penn State, it's like a contest to see who could deck their room out the coolest...those would definitly sell anywhere around the tri-state area I'd say.

I think I am going to contact them tomorrow, and see what I can do. As long as the store manager or one of the co-managers approves the order, and they will ship them out, I'll be set. Like I said, they only had them around here last Christmas, and Shopko had them as well... I ended up getting mine from Shopko because we sold out at Wal*Mart. Spencer's doesn't even carry the bulbs, and I had to go around to different hardware stores to find the right bulb... a two-pack, and they ended up burning out because they weren't specificially for the lava lamp.

So, I think if I set up an impressive endcap, set one up on display, get a variety of colors and perhaps a couple of the glitter Grande lamps, some extra bulbs, and perhaps a clip strip of the lava night lights, I could really boost my sales, which would be nice, as my features have sort of sucked recently (the home office has been sending me shit). Back to college is the only event that I can think of that pertains to my department up until Christmas, so I really need to drive those sales... :grin:

Thanks for the input, and any further input is greatly appreciated! :wink:
