www.marvelretailers
retailers without a presence on the web with low-cost and easy to
maintain websites, and for retailers with existing websites an easily
updated Marvel branded store for their sites. And now these websites
have been recently redesigned to maximize the benefits for both the
retailers and their customers. As the site continues to grow, with new
ways to communicate directly with Marvel on their way, retailers
continue to rave about Marvel's groundbreaking service which includes
web sites, First Looks at comics before they arrive in stores, marketing
materials, updated ordering information and more!
This year the MRRC continues to expand as a free section is now
available to all retailers, message boards linking Marvel and other
retailers, as well as an overall redesign of the MRRC itself making it
much more user friendly and dynamic. To the see the retailers already
taking advantage of the MRRC, click here for a list of websites that

"This is an awesome program and a no brainer to be part of if you're a
retailer who sells Marvel Comics."-Mike Malve, Atomic Comics (
www.atomiccomics.
"We've used the MRRC for comic previews and marketing materials from its
very start. The comic previews alone have been worth the monthly fee,
and we even receive free product to help offset that! Stores with no
web presence can get a jumpstart with the MRRC, too."-Chris Powell,

"The MRRC gives us all the tools we need to effectively market Marvel
comics and trade paperbacks. It not only helps us directly as retailers
by providing up to date information on upcoming items and previews that
allow us to better market those items but it also provides much of that
same information directly to our customers which generates excitement
and interest among fans. Customers who shop with us once return again
and again and this gives them one more reason to choose us. The MRRC
gives our thousands of Marvel Comics readers what they're looking for
with a direct connection to our store where they can get it
instantly."-

"As for the initiatives behind the MRRC, it's very encouraging, as a
relatively new retailer exclusive to the online space, to see efforts
like this being undertaken. Given my past career experiences in
marketing for music and media, it's also very refreshing to see the
folks at Marvel being pro-active and embracing new technology and
distribution methods and avoiding some of the pitfalls that some of the
major record labels made. I think their marketing team is really on the
right track. Also, kudos to your team for putting together a nice web
app to help make life easier for retailers."-
