CherryPi3 684 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I remember I asked the manager at this perfume store if I could have/buy this tall FAME stand that they had and she told me no. I asked her what they do with it after they're done and she told me that they recycle them. I never did get it :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punky 15 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I worked at a music store for years. It was store policy to "recycle" promo signage (aka throw away) but if I could tell someone was a hardcore fan I'd let them know when we'd be "recycling" signs and I'd let them come pick it up. Be VERY friendly, seem genuinely excited about the signage, and try another manager on a different day if the first response you get is "no." I think typically stores are supposed to throw stuff away but often managers don't care and will be more than willing to let you take signs when they are no longer needed. Good luck!

Very well said, darling! Yes, all of this is 100% true! Do YOU own the 4' by 6' Perfect Illusion promo Poster? Will pay you for it.

asana15 16,648 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If you see promo, don't be shy, ask the management at the stores if you can have it when the time comes to Dumpster it. All right, Chica - I am going to start terrorizing my Target, Walmart and Record Theater until they cave in. I won't take a NO for an answer. Thank you for the tip.

Rimes 5 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I work in a store similar to Wal-Mart, Target, etc. that sells CDs. (In fact, I held "Cheek to Cheek" in my hand earlier today, prepping the new releases for tonight.) We didn't have any promo stuff for the album -- in fact, we only got in 4 copies of the deluxe edition. However, even employees can sometimes not get the promo stuff they had dibs on due to miscommunication, etc., so don't take it personally if something gets thrown out without it being held (since backroom space is usually limited in stores). For example, a co-worker of mine wanted the cardboard Godzilla that was on top of the Godzilla display (for the release of the new movie, which came out on DVD last week), but the person who took down the display didn't know that he wanted it, and it got thrown out. As long as someone writes down somewhere -- "save this for this person," then you stand a better chance of there being less miscommunication and something getting thrown out afterward.

ChicaSkas 22,945 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 Target has a vertical panel promoting the exclusive Bonus Track version of Cheek to Cheek! I snapped a pic on my lunch and asked the manager.... right now it's up in the air for me because the opposite side of the panel promotes albums released on 9-30, so they will reverse the C2C side and keep it up another week :dead: He wasn't 100% sure he could give it to me but I will continue to check in and gently ask.

nickkoko 922 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 They had this big poster at HMV when I went to get the album today. I asked if I could have it when they were done promoting it, and they took down my name & number! Hopefully I can get it, because they told me that they have a Gaga fan on staff so she might claim it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
