Be sure to pay attention to advertising. In this day and age, comic shops come and go so fast that more often than not they go before I even knew they were there. Go to book stores and Wal-Marts, churches and community centers, post flyers on the bulletin boards and leave stacks of adds on counters at local used music stores and book stores and at the flea markets. And make sure the COMIC BOOK STORE is loudy obvious so that people will actually pay attention. Take out adds in all the local news papers. Anything and everything you can think of to get the word out to the community.
I wouldn't put out toys that aren't for sale. I've seen this before. While it's nice to have a place to display your collection or prize pieces where others will actually enjoy them, I've never been fond of seeing something I'd buy, asking how much it is, and then being told it's not for sale. Whether out loud or just in their head, they're asking why the hell it's there if it's not for sale. |
