Boom Studios Makes Everything Returnable Until The End Of The Year
Boom Studios has announced new benefits to their Boom Retailer Support Services Program, that will come into effect from September 2nd.
They are promising Full Returnability Through December for comic book stores that have signed up to the free Boom Guarantee programme, for all comic books, trade paperbacks, hardcovers and graphic novels, fully returnable by affidavit – which means that comic book stores declare unsold stock, confirm they have destroyed the books, and will receive the full cost back without fees or additional postage costs.
This kind of policy allows comic book retailers to order at high amounts but not suffer if the sales are not there – or if there is another shutdown. It's the kind of policy that can give retailers strong confidence to order high.
They also announced they will be sending out at least two new, previously unannounced "Thank You" variants every month through to the end of the year. These variants will appear on two different series each month and will ship one-per-store. Diamond accounts must be eligible to receive free promotional material in order to receive these variants.
Boom will also be providing downloadable PDF previews of all major launches before FOC that retailers can share with customers via e-mail, social media and more to ensure fans are informed and excited to place their pre-orders.
"Comic shops are the lifeblood of the industry and this artform, so this is the next step in offering even more support to our retail partners during this time," said Filip Sablik, President of Publishing & Marketing, BOOM! Studios. "These new benefits in the Boom Retailer Support Services Program allow retailers to grow sales on their best-selling series – like Something is Killing The Children, Once & Future, and Seven Secrets – while also ordering without risk on their next guaranteed hits, including We Only Find Them When They're Dead, BRZRKR, Mighty Morphin, Power Rangers and Dune: House Atreides, with even more tools to engage their customers."
