well is seems my idea has been done before!! however looking at tis youtube post this is exactly wot i DO NOT want for my ted baker store front. Rather than the characters being annoying and waving at customers i would prefer it if they would just perform. the fact that the customers would not be able to hear the dialogue would hopefully draw them into the store. i find the characters in this example very annoying and would draw me AWAY from the store rather than persuade me inside. also i would not have anybody outside handing out flyers. i think this is tacky for a store as high profile and classy as ted baker.
