Answer:
Your lens isn’t targeted.
By that I mean you have a page of unrelated products. Squidoo is NOT a store it is a for targeted pages in the same way a blog should be on one topic. You’ve grouped the products by store instead of by the niche they represent. Since you can have as many lenses as you want you should have a lens on GAMES or Computer games or family games. This way it doesn’t matter what store they’re in.
You can follow this to include a lenses on digital cameras where people can buy cameras, a book on digital camera photography, a video digital camera photography, a video tutorial or book on using Photoshop to maniple you digital pictures etc.
Use Squidoo to search for other lenses in you selected niche and see what the competition is doing. You can then target even further. Off the top of my head, your lens name then becomes: Learn Digital Photography, Digital cameras for newbie’s, Digital camera gift ideas…etc
For more ideas put some of those terms (and some of your own) in Google and see what comes up.
Most people who use Squidoo for marketing have MANY lenses
Hope this helps

Answer:
As you may have realized, traditional targeting or local marketing has changed rapidly. Don't take my word for it, Try this:
Type: BMW on Google Local, Yahoo Local
You will see a store listings, choose one of the Store Listing, you see a business page, with 4 ads on the page and links to other dealers.
Type BMW on www.thelocalindex.com ( it gives local businesses a free online store local marketing)
You will see BMW’s, click one, and click go to store. You will see their Whole Inventory Online. The Site is targeted to local shoppers, so it's pretty effective.
They are in beta, and are currently adding Google Maps for directions to each store, Coupons for discounts to customers, a URL to direct customers to your store (example” www.thelocalindex.com/ Your Store Name) and alot more including You tube videos, Slide: Slide shows, the ability to share on Myspace, Facebook, Flickr.
Local Business events, networking events and a whole lot more.
The Local Index, is the best resource for local businesses because they promote top local businesses via Radio, Television and Printed Media.
The Goal of this site is to reintroduce the concept of local businesses to consumers as the hip, hot new thing. Instead of Pizza Hut, Walmart, Circuit City and Etc.
