Work with Redbox and find a better revenue sharing system, instead of trying to whine, complain, and blame Redbox.[/QUOTE]
There isn’t much revenue sharing going on with $1.00 DVD rentals…
Redbox is a joke, half the time the discs are trashed and unusable, you have to wait in long lines because the system is so slow… things would be better if places like Blockbuster downsized drastically to cut down on costs and lowered rental prices… there will always be renters, there are many out there who have no interest in purchasing DVD’s… and plenty of movies worth watching but not owning…
If the rental stores smartened up they could make it through the changes and still be around a few years from now… sadly most won’t and the industry will hand itself back to the Mom and Pop stores that started it…
We recently added rentals to test at one of our B&M stores… traditional rentals… not a machine… we’ve been adding new customers daily and it’s been going pretty smooth… $1.99 new releases and .99 cent for older titles is drawing plenty of interest as was expected…
Rentals are not dead… the days of 3,000 square foot video stores are though.
to make it you’ve got to be able to cram that much stock into 500sq ft of space… which can easily be done if you know what your doing… but there in lies the problem… these corporate idiots have never known what they were doing…
