How was your Halloween ComicFest event? A little lackluster this year with Halloween on a Saturday. People were doing more partying than reading.
What has been your best promotion or event? Free Comic Book Day, by a mile…
What recent changes have you made in the store? I opened a new space in the back of the store as a “20th century comics” room.
What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general? I have been advertising with the local movie theaters; created an Instagram account, Facebook, etc.. I have been participating in local conventions as well.
How did you choose your store name? I was looking at a book about 1950’s advertising.
What superpower would you most like to have? The ability to travel through time. Useful for stocking up on back issues.
