What has been your best promotion or event? Our grand opening has been our best event so far, but certainly looking forward to the first free comic book day in this location.
What recent changes have you made in the store? New banners are a recent addition and there is now a greatly expanded toy section.
What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general? Outreach to libraries has been helpful, but our weekly newsletter has been one of the best educational tools for us.
What are your plans for the near future? I will reconfigure on the fly to meet our new customer’s needs.
How did you choose your store name? It was a takeoff on Jamie’s last name.
What superpower would you most like to have? Powers like Kid Eternity has.
