Plenty of quality used guns, kept organized. Be willing to rent them for ...
Range with good ventilation, AC/heat, and have lots of AC on before the range is open, not just a window unit turned on when the first range user shows up.
Our local rental range has crap ventilation, and isn't even cooled down by the time we've shot for an hour ... so MrsBFD and I are sweaty, smoked out, and annoyed. Not a good way to get us buying extra goodies or shooting longer and buying your ammo when we run out
Free CCW class sounds really cool, you may want to make it free class with pistol + case or safe + holster, or some combination, not just the pistol. Or you may want to offer a firearms safety course with purchase rather than CCW.
Keep ammo and accessories in stock! Or at least know when they will arrive if ordered.
If you don't have magazines on hand after I ask once a week for three weeks, I'm ordering online. I'll only accept "probably next week" twice, it seems.
If you are always out of all but one brand of ammo in a particular caliber, I'm going to wal*mart or the competition.
Free soft drinks?
Throw in some snap caps with every gun for dry-fire?
Throw in a cleaning kit or other goodies with purchase?
Have a website with accurate inventory?
