How was your Halloween ComicFest event?
What has been your best promotion or event? We run sales through our Facebook page that work well, and we also offer a buyer rewards club card which is popular with our customers.
What recent changes have you made in the store? The big change was adding new comics to our mix.
What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general? Facebook local ads have done well for us.
What are your plans for the near future? We will be adding trade paperbacks and more unique toy products.
How did you choose your store name? It evolved over years before I opened the store front. I wanted a name that opened up many possibilities, which is Cosmic King, and then adding on to that.
What superpower would you most like to have? Flight and/or teleportation.
