Midnight Launch Ideas Needed!

[WiiHot]

Hey I'm doing a midnight launch tomorrow night at my store and need some input. I have a budget of about $80 and can't spend the money on prizes for the tournament (since N is supplying the prize). Any ideas on what to spend it on? Whether its decorations, giveways for everyone for the launch or whatever, anything is encouraged and welcomed. Thanks for your help guys!

Make shirts, for costumers. ( the first 5 people to show up get a shirt) that would be pretty cool.

also, have a melee tournament while people wait in line.

I don't know if your Store sells those little Nintendo key chains, PEZ dispensers, etc. But you could always give those away to participants, depending on how many participants you have.

But you should have a refreshment table maybe?

Yeah, I'd say buy food for your customers. They will really appreciate it.

_Drinks and snacks would be good, but not in this excitement. You'll be cleaning for hours, due to people jumping,moving around, just dropping and spilling everything. I would say you give the first 16 people who walk in a $5 giftcard each, I mean think about it who wouldn't be happy to get $5 for free to spend on a game? And you'll also be making that money back. Its a smart move man try it.

I dont think people would be that excited food and drinks sound good. And just scatter garbage cans over the place. That was cleanup wont be so bad.

Coffee, lots and lots of coffee.

Possibly buy key chains and such for the first few to turn up and get their copy?

For some reason I think the keychain idea is a bit corny. (no offense of course) When ever I get a keychain, (even of something i love) I'm just like ok then?

Buy the first few people to turn up wii points cards?

Actually that's a really nice idea. Scratch my idea of refreshments and do this!

Thanks for you feed back people. We ended up just buying drinks and chips and some pizzas for my team. The night went very good though until I got home and found out my wii doesn't play SSBB. So pissed right now.....
