Re: LET'S HELP VEI GROW THEIR MONTHLY SALES!!
Haven't been on in a while but my LCS owner is a good friend. I gave him the details so this should be a go. Which is great because he had mentioned to me earlier this month that Valiant readership had declined the past few months.

And, doing a grassroots program like this will hopefully reverse that trend for everyone such as VEI, LCSs and readers. It is fast and easy to do and could have a very big impact!solarmanofawesome wrote:Haven't been on in a while but my LCS owner is a good friend. I gave him the details so this should be a go.

Re: LET'S HELP VEI GROW THEIR MONTHLY SALES!!
Well I got to me LCS today and he had 2 big stacks of previews at the checkout. So I said he probably wasn't interested, but I had this printed and showed him, he said that yeah he was already set with getting plenty of these (and wasn't to interested in putting one in each subscribers pull box, oh well).
read me, HC/TPB me; sign me, sketch me, slab me.

Re: LET'S HELP VEI GROW THEIR MONTHLY SALES!!
Alright, I talked with my LCS owner today & he's all for it. He likes & supports the idea of making sure the pullbox previews are placed in the subscriber pullboxes too, which is great.

Re: LET'S HELP VEI GROW THEIR MONTHLY SALES!!
Just talked to my LCS owner and he agreed to reach out to Atom. Hopefully it will work out.
Also, I was talking with another subscriber who was a valiant fan (back in the day) but was into other Marvel and DC stuff currently. After mentioning Harbinger he got pretty excited (he didn't know new books were coming out). Hopefully we have another reader on our hands. It just goes to show that hanging out at your LCS and chatting with people about what they read can provide opportunities to point them to Valiant.

Re: LET'S HELP VEI GROW THEIR MONTHLY SALES!!
Have to let you all know that VEI is pleased with all of your efforts on their behalf with this. If you haven't gone to your LCS and held the discussion, there's still time for them and their subscribers to get in on this

Good to hear as I didn't receive a response from Atom. I also asked whether he was interested in getting Valiant a verified status at Twitter. I have connections

How much more time? I may be able to get my original hometown LCS to sign up as well, got an old friend there who is going to go in and talk to them.brucehartshorn wrote:Have to let you all know that VEI is pleased with all of your efforts on their behalf with this.

Re: LET'S HELP VEI GROW THEIR MONTHLY SALES!!
Well now, that's cool. What exactly does that do for a Twitter account besides getting the distinguished blue check mark, anyway? I mean, are there additional perks beyond being verified?nycjadie wrote:Good to hear as I didn't receive a response from Atom.

Has anyone seen any results from this promotion yet? I don't know what the next Pullbox Preview is or when it's coming...

Not sure of the results but will ask Atom so I can give an update on this. Thanks to all for their efforts.
