The problem i see is this.

Your store may be a brick and mortar, that isn't indicated, so i'm going by what i have.

Your store is a webstore, yet has the same prices as mantic itself (RRP)

Why should i shop at your webstore instead of mantics?

hobbyhub.co is my webstore yes. The retail Kiosk is supported by Manitc and a test model for future retail.

There were cleaner ways of doing it but that did not eventuate. I'm Aus based so ordering from hobbyhub.co can workout a bit cheaper and I am about 20% cheaper than most of the Aus mantic re-sellers and you get your product in 3days.

Hope that clears that up for you.

Have a good one.

Took a look at your pics of the kiosk on your FB. Very nice. Hope my B&M store turns out half as nice Wink

Wish you all the best. Sounds like you have some good plans for the future.

Cheers

Nice, well-designed site with big pictures and a simple layout, showing everything for one army on one page... that's the way to do it!

When you've got the time, the warpath page could use some more images, and the download links for the army lists need an update.

I like how you're offering movement trays and packs of them to cover the contents of Morgoth's rising... that could be a good extra bundle to sell alongside all the army boxes (making a bundle deal that fits each one) since they're nice and cheap and perfect for an impulse buy.

Thanks for the feedback. In the next two weeks the kiosk will have more art work on it and I will be doing some unheard of things in terms of marketing a hobby store.

The last two days have been educational. First thing I got asked for was do I sell bongs and cones!

The effect of being in the open is has it's challenges but is giving the effect I want. 80% of the people I talk to and run demos for have never seen the hobby or know who games workshop is. That's what the hobby and Mantic need. A generation of games that are exposed to Mantic not GW. So when they see GW they are like I'm not paying for that when I can get it from Mantic at 1/2 the cost.

Keep you posted

I now see your position as an aus store for aus players. Also that USA players are not your target demographic.

I would like to wish you luck and if you need help I'll do my best to assist.

Getting customers in with no GW "baggage" sounds like a really good starting point for you (and Mantic as you say).

This is awesome.  Those are some quality kiosks.  I really like the way the layout looks in the mall.

The site is quite smartly designed but I didn't find any payment and delivery procedure/link on your website.
