Long holiday weekends provide plenty of opportunity for churners and manufactured spenders, like:
- Discount gift cards
- Portal bonuses
- Sales on airfare and stays
- Discount goods for resale
They also provide another great unlikely benefit: In-store crowds.
Say what now? Crowds are a benefit? Yup. In crowds, cashiers and customer service desk personnel just want to keep lines moving. That gives you two ways to play holidays for in-person games:
- Just keep running back to back transactions at self check out. As long as you’re quiet and not actively causing problems, you’ll be ignored. Holidays can be huge volume days
- Try new things, if something hits wrong, customer service is too busy to make up rules and cause problems, they’ll usually just clear the error and move on
Good luck, and have a nice holiday friends!
