"Where I respect your line of work and your business as a
consultant. I find it hard to believe that book experience can
out weigh hands on experience in the retail world. I have read
several marketing books out there and found they all go with
the same thoughts in mind."

Don't assume that I don't have any hands-on experience in the retail industry.

The inflatable rental idea was only offered so you think about new ways of generating business. There seems to be a lot of people offering excellent ideas for you to consider, but you essentially object to them. I hope you are able to find the silver bullet that will bring more customers into your store. Keep an open mind, and best of luck to you.
