As a small retailer we are always left to wonder how we compare to the rest of the country. How are our sales compared to similar stores? How are our sales compared to the regional average? Are we doing as well as the entire country? Are we managing to stay ahead of the big chains that can crush us if they simply roll over? Or are we falling behind in any of our critical categories? In a way being a small retailer is akin to “Keeping up with the Joneses”.
With National Games Week effectively over, a question that we received was how do the games we sell stack up against the list that we published. That’s a great question! And the answer is that we’re nowhere near being average. It seems that a lot of our sales are far more specialized and that’s probably a reflection of the many quirky and eccentric customers that we have the pleasure of serving.
Here’s our list of best selling games. While there are some striking similarities, there are also some significant differences and the order, without a doubt, is very different.
