Thread: The Dam Store

I've always got a fair shake at the Dam Store. Sometimes better than others, but for every time I got a few less minnows, there was twice as many times that I got more than my share. I always tell them that I'm on C.C, and that definitely helps my count. I want them to make a profit, if they don't, they'll be gone, then we all suffer!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, Lakeway in Grenada is the best example of using minnows as a loss leader to get customers in to buy other fishing, and miscellaneous items. That's why they're still going strong!!!!. Big box, and grocery stores realize that with loss leader items, it gets customers in the door, and they sell other profitable items to make up more than the difference!!!!! Cheap bait is THE bait to catch more fishermen as well as more dollars!!!!! Cheap minnows catch much more than fish. LOL

I do the same thing by offering my Boats, etc. to C.C members at a great price. It gets me more referrals to grow my business, and make more sales!!!!

He is my experience with the Dam Store

I was down there this spring shopping at there store before going out fishing and i misplaced 50.00 dollars. i didn't realize i was missing this till later in the day and, I had called them asking if they came across any extra money and i couldn't believe they said it was here and come and get it.

These people are some good old honest southern folks , from reading there post it sounds like they like to listen for ideas and make things right, you cant get things any better then that.

One again thank you for your honesty

All my experiances at the Dam Store have been good

Since they came on here and faced the fire, I'll be going back.
