Do you sell popcorn to go? The theater in my wife's small (2-3k) hometown just started doing that. I find myself buying a big bag at least twice in a 4 day visit.
They also get the Chamber of Comm. to sponsor a weekly matinee during the summer like on Wednesday or something. It's usually an older movie that's already out on DVD type. Various chamber member business are given tickets to give away for free. They advertise in the paper each week who has them. Go into that business, get a free ticket, and maybe pick something up at that store.
Go to the theater and then buy popcorn and soda.
Everyone's a winner.
They also made the digital leap. And the capabilities let them show college football games (I'm sure they have to pay for some of that stuff) and other live/not-live events. They carried a Christmas concert from one of the colleges in the state last year. Sold hot chocolate and popcorn. Packed the place.
I must think I want to own a small town theater, otherwise I wouldn't have paid so much attention to what they do. Hell, I've been lurking for eons here and this AMA prompted me to register and login. 1st post.
