Title: Help Nominate Bounty Hunter Toys!
Post by: BHMike on July 14, 2004, 05:15:34 PM

So last year we (Bounty Hunter Toys) were nominated as one of the best toy stores in Hamilton. It doesn't really mean anything since it's just in the local paper, but it was cool to be nominated, and we did get a HELL of alot of collections in because of it.

Anyway, this year the Spectator (the local paper) is allowing folks to nominate people ONLINE.

So umm???..... Who wants to help?!

I won't lie, I'd LOVE to be nominated for it a 2nd year in a row! We were up against Toys R Us and Walmart - we beat Walmart, but eventually lost out to that damn giraffe. (TRU).

The link to do the nominating is here:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=63175546876 (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=63175546876)

I really don't 'expect' everyone to nominate for us. Heck, I'm sure a few will vote for TRU just to spite us. But even if it wasn't my store, I'd still be rooting for a 'little' guy in the hobby since the big guys obviously don't care about the collector or even support the lines like us little guys try to!
:-)



oops..... got off on a tangent there.... heh heh.

Bottom line, I'd love to be nominated again, and I'm asking for all of your help.
If you click that link above, you'll be required to enter in some of your information, name, mailing addy, phone #, etc. They always give away a prize when the 'official' nominations come out, and since they're allowing anyone - ANYWHERE in the world to participate, you could end up with some extra cash from them just for helping out!
(More money to buy more Joes!)

Please consider it guys, it'll take a few seconds of your time, and it would mean the world to me...... heck, if we make it in, I'll even give my fellow Joes a 'nice' discount on our site! ;-)
Thanks,
Mike

PS - Feel free to repost anywhere! ;-)

PPS - If we're nominated - AND win, maybe it'll wake up Hasbro Canada to actually start sending stuff up here!

TRU: What the? We lost?.... to a small shop?
WM: they have toys - we don't.
TRU: Damn..... gotta start carrying more stuff!
