Use the same tactics, make promotions, lower prices and so on...
But they don't (at last stores over here don't) I occasionally go to a mall downtown for the fun of seeing people and stuff and spending some time, but I don't have any hopes as to actually buying something cause I know in advance that these big stores (at least over here) don't even try. Why would I buy a video game there? Why would I pay 70 euros when I know that I can get the same game for 40, 30 or even 20 euros online? But they never learn, no matter how much time passes, no matter how much I hear that retail stores are having a tougher and tougher time making money, you still see the same pattern, games way too overpriced, less choice than online, no special editions (or if exceptionally you see one, at the same time you see 10 different special editions online) etc...
I'm actually surprised they are still in business which means that at least some people buy their stuff there, in other words those stores are living off the ignorance of some people that will pay full price ignoring they can get incredibly better deals on line or something. Good for those stores, I don't want them to go away as I enjoy the occasional egress to walk, take the sun and see people going about their business. But I sure as hell do not plan to purchase anything at those prices when I can get much better deals online.
