Does anyone know where to get marketing information for gaming stores?

Age demographics, marketing ideas, target markets? etc?

Thanks
Ed

Ed, do you own a game store? If so, I can recommend a good forum for you.

Yep, have a store in Avon Park Fl
A forum would be good, and thanks for the feedback.

As a store owner do not jump at donated data from forum members.

Demographics for a store and target group will vary greatly from one area to another. So what may work in one area like near a military base will not work for a store near a university.
Stability of the community economy is another factor related to the above.

So take the advice but do your own number crunching and customize it.
make a good outline of your goals and resources.
So many other factors too numerous to list here without a whole lot more data on your situation.

Some people may comment without ever running a store or having done so for a short time.

Do I know much about it?
