5. Ongoing Verizon Wireless and Apple Store Coverage: All locals cover all stores in their areas for as much time as possible (lunchtime, after work to store close, and Saturday and Sunday, also daytime during the week where it’s possible especially with retiree support). Continue to use the leaflets and banners. The iPhone 4S hit the stores recently and stores will have more traffic than normal through the weekend.
