MVP003: Adventurer’s Wanted, Quarter Available

What this episode covers

In this episode, we chat with Jacob Alden Stanley. He's the owner of Adventurer's Quarter in Denver, Colorado. We chat about what makes AQ a solid business. Hint: listening to what your customers are telling you is a good first step. As a relatively young venture, AQ is a good example of how to grow a store using technology and social media. Jacob being active on Twitter and Facebook as well as writing interesting content for his store's site has been a key component to his store's success. That combined with a powerful foundation of effective customer service makes AQ a great place to play and a great example for other entrepreneurs in the business. In this episode we talk about: * Social media and staying in touch with your customers * Finding distributors * Outlasting other game stores, how to find your product/market fit * How to serve a mature gamer community with new services * More on how Yelp may bite you in the ass * Launching a new store If you liked this interview with Jacob, leave a comment down below and tell me what you think about the show.
