Andrew, great content as always, my friend!
Texas has a number of the dinner/theater combos here, like The Studio Movie Grill and The Movie Tavern. The Movie Tavern even does Nostalgia Nights, where they show classic films and even add themed appetizers and such (we recently saw Casablanca on the big screen for the first time on it’s 70th Anniversary).
Thanks again!

When I try to order the Nifty Clicks DVD for just shipping, it won’t let the order through. First off, it shows zero as the order amount (instead of a shipping fee) and no matter how many times I put in all my info, it leaves me with this response- can you fix? Thanks.

AMC must have copied McMenamin’s in Portland, Oregon who have been serving food in their theaters for 20 years!
PS: In the good ol’ USA, polite men remove their hats indoors:(
June 20th, 2012 at 8:43 am
Very Thank You

Don’t ever go away!
We all need you desperately
June 20th, 2012 at 9:06 am
This is very helpful and educative video.From this video people can learn excellent tips.
Thanks
June 20th, 2012 at 9:14 am
Andrew; I hope AMC doesn’t convert their 22 screen complex here (Montreal) to their dining model! This will ruin the indie movie viewing experience! How many people will want to be distracted by this whole resto experience when actually, what they want is to see a movie. A snack in your lap to munch on while viewing is one thing; trying to turn this into some kind of “dining experience” is a whole other deal. If this model succeeds across the AMC chain I will be very surprised.
June 20th, 2012 at 9:21 am
Great video, I like how the beginning is light and funny; it grabs your attention. Interesting tips on how to give incentives to your customers. Never heard of Enounce before either, looks like a great plug in. Thanks for the awesome video!
June 20th, 2012 at 9:38 am
Thanks for your informative video. Well done. I have learned a great deal.
June 20th, 2012 at 9:47 am
Hi,
I take my cordial pleasure to write this comment.
I’m really interested in knowing the things that you conveyed, first thing i’m really impressed is about the “DEFINITION OF BRANDING” it’s pretty outstanding information. Then i like the way program goes. it catches the attention of viewers. lastly i found one thing that you have said “everything is marketing and marketing is everything” definitely. Fine job… Thanks a lot..!
June 20th, 2012 at 9:55 am
Nice video, it explains very clearly what to do and how to improve business. The use of the Hard rock cafe example was the best example, i understood it clearly and i liked it the most. I don’t have a business but surely i will recommend this video to my friends. Thanks.
June 20th, 2012 at 9:56 am
awesome video very good marketing technique !
June 20th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Wow, It’s a great job done. The way of conveying a message is the most required think, which is perfect in this clip. It described and presented in a good way which is to be appreciated. ‘Business cannot be done simple but simple ways even makes your business to get a grand success”, the base message of this video. It’s worth watching.. Kindly share with your friends and make them to get useful content.
June 20th, 2012 at 10:01 am
Hi, its really awesome 1 video that really inspire me a lot!
A good thought wid intelligence..
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:01 pm
This episode was full of good info and tell Isabelle she has a great way of getting something, that should be understood by more marketing folks, to have the concepts clearly understood. Thanx.
June 29th, 2012 at 8:23 am
Funny. SEOing on a help my business site… =/
Anyway, very informative. But the puppet was kind of really annoying…
July 21st, 2012 at 8:18 am
Have to say i am horrified by the AMC example.
Who wants to hear ordering, munching, scraping of plates, dropped knives etc while you have just paid to watch a movie.
Eat in a restaurant and watch a movie in a cinema!
Otherwise great show as always Andrew.

I’m still trying to figure out why the movie theaters have not taken a page from the museum model and placed a gift shop in the lobby. When you go to see Toy Story 3 or Harry Potter, they should offer you the opportunity to purchase books, toys, music, DVDs (of the previous films or featuring the actors), video games, and other film-related items. Instead, the film acts as an advertisement and after-film sales go to Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. The movie theatres have a chance to strike while the iron is hot!
August 4th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
That’s a really smart idea Lon!

In other trick taking games, players can take tricks on a number of kind of
contract. Understanding video gaming is a must tip on how to run a game store.
You can only acquire a small amount of in-game
money or gold, and cannot participate in the auction house, send mail,
join guilds, or even whisper to someone unless someone whispers to you first.

What you want to discuss and how you discuss various issues is left to you, which again
is an advantage especially if you are creating an online talk radio station.
As an Internet broadcaster, it is high time that you pick on these available opportunities and add that $ilver sheen to your broadcasting happiness.
Turn on iheartradio and then look at a different app, your station will keep playing and you can control
everything from the “running apps” menu (double-click the
home button).

This is a small selection of great music I listen to, written
from my own perspective as a fan and a user, with the aim of inspiring others to listen too.
If you own a Black – Berry 9550 Storm 2, Black – Berry Curve 8530, Black – Berry Tour
9630, Black – Berry Storm 9530, Black – Berry
Curve 8330, Black – Berry World 8830, Black – Berry
Pearl Flip 8230, or Black – Berry Pearl Flip
8130, then you can listen to nearly a thousand songs on a single micro
- SD card. Powerful hollow waves form here and can hold a sizeable swell.
