I am going to assume it's a good way to do business, otherwise why would anyone bother spending money on advertising/marketing and putting on these sorts of gimmicks? certainly not just for the entertainment of enthusiasts. businesses exist for profit.
yes i stand by my original argument - i really find the fetishism quite distasteful. It might be a good way to do business, on the particular day. But seriously, it does NOT help a record store in the long-term, and THAT is what needs to be concentrated on.
