Given the time constraints that we all experience, it would be appealing for customers to be able to attend events at a variety of stores in a particular neighborhood on a single day. A flyer or advertisement could be created for all the stores that participate and each store could then distribute that to their customers.

I also like the fact that retailers no longer have to re-invent the wheel to concoct ways to get more traffic. What are other stores doing to get clients' attention? Which artists can be invited for special signing events? Which non-competing, area stores can I work with on a collaborative effort? There's a lot that can be created, not invented.

Because the weatherman, for example, is often overlooked in high profile media events he may be delighted to attend your event. Once your event is planned, send news releases to your local newspapers to attract not only your target customers, but media attention as well.
