SDCC '15: Valiant Sales Staff Offer Their Cell Numbers To Retailers
We're not going to run them here. We're not that evil.
But at the Valiant Retailer Presentation at San Diego Comic Con, the publisher wanted to show how much they were bending backwards for retailers. So, as well as promoting their sales staff as ex-comic shore owners and workers who understand the market, they put everyone's cellphone numbers on the big screen.
They also looked at the big markup retailers are getting on Book Of Death #1, and how a number of retailers are creating promotions to take advantages of it, discounts, incentives for sales staff to hand sell and raffling off the 1/25 limited series Legends Of Geomancer.
But it has been so successful for Valiant, giving them 70,000 pre-orders, they will be doing the same with Wrath Of The Eternal Warrior.
They are also offering retailers who create Book Of Death displays a chance of winning a full page ad in their comics.
Expect all the retailers attending the Valiant road show dinners that follow conventions to have lots of nice things to say.
