A Crazy Idea.

I can not take credit for it. But, Someone suggested that Blockbuster should do the Redbox Rental Pricing Structure. Just think about it. One Dollar a day.. for 20 Days and then movie is yours...Special rules would have to apply to T.V. series... Just keep it simple and black and white as possible. Yes, it is a lesser value for your lazy customers...Why punish those that would bring their movies back the next day? Think about it... $1.00 rentals would bring in customers to your stores.. where you can continue to expand on your electronics and video games and such..... Money is tight. $5.00 rentals are ridiculous.

The thing to notice is here in the uk we charge £3.95 ($5.52) for 1 film for 1 night and then charge £2.00 ($2.80) for every night extra they keep it, which seems a lot compared to US pricing but yet we are one of the few retail stores making profit during a recession so we must be doing something right!

Redbox can do this because they don't have the overhead of rent, personnel, etc. I don't think that they would completely work for a brick and mortar, but I do something similar that pays the bills.
