Why didn’t you install the tvs your self for free

Curious if this store survived a year of being in business?

We’re still here! Year 2 is just around the corner in April. I was actually in the middle of typing up a business update for our newsletter. Social media, especially KZbin has taken aback seat in the past few months with all sorts of other things going on. We’re planning a convention with a couple of other game stores in the area and if you’re curious about behind the scenes business stuff we’re launching our VideoCast on Friday @LFGCon on KZbin.

I watch a bunch of these "opening a store" videos as we prepare to open our own. These guys waste so much money on things they don't need or can just do themselves. Tv installation? Shelve installation? Plant for the bathroom?

1100 for a tv install? Why not you do it yourself?

[@BoardGamingwithEducation]

I kind of covered that in the video. I ended up needing a rush installation and there is a huge markup on a business install versus home install. Planning can save a lot of $ and this is one of those tiems I did not plan accordingly. I could have probably figured out how to install them myself, but it would have taken me at least a day or two since it is not really in my skillset and I would of had to learn. Any kind of contract labor, especially in CA is quite expensive!
