It's kinda like the toy aisle at Walmart or Target. Sure the action figures are all on the same aisle, but that doesn't make me look at everything. Real Steel figures are there. When they first came out I looked at them for less than 2 minutes. Haven't paid them any attention since then, except to think "when are these going to clearance?" Same with Pirates of the Caribbean. Exposure won't equal attention.

I'm not trying to be negative, that's not how I roll. If there's a problem with the traffic flow, fine, I like to understand the problem and figure solutions, that's all. So this morning we're taken by surprise by a problem AND a solution. I'm just saying I don't think this solution will work. I'll try to think of some helpful suggestions today. . .off to work now.
