[Super Hero News] Marvel Retailer Resource Center Continues To Grow - Better Than Ever!

 

Marvel Retailer Resource Center Continues To Grow - Better Than Ever!

Six months ago, the Marvel Retailer Resource Center (
www.marvelretailers.com <http://www.marvelretailers.com/> ) was launched
to help retailers, fans, and potential new customers across the country.
It was designed to provide retailers the most up-to-date info, maps, and
previews so that every store across the country could have their own
website. In today's digital world, it helps to have the most
information possible at your fingertips, and now comic book fans can-
thanks to the Marvel Retailer Resource Center! Created to help
retailers who either don't have their own sites or spend time every
single week updating their websites themselves, the MRRC now helps fans
and stores alike by doing that work for them. And just when it seemed
it couldn't get any better, it did!

The MRRC relaunch occurred three weeks ago and retailers and fans
everywhere have noticed the difference. In addition to offering Firsts
Looks and the MRRC forums to retailers, the new design and the updated
marketing tools are so easy to use that membership has nearly TRIPLED in
the past three weeks! Now, stores that never had websites before are
able to offer more to their existing customers and many have even had
new customers find them over the web.

Chris Powell of Lone Star Comics (www.lonestarcomics.com
<http://www.lonestarcomics.com/> ,

<http://lonestarcomics.marvelretailers.com/> ) says, "The changes to the
MRRC, particularly the integration of the Marvel Digital Comics reader,
have been very positive. The new reader makes the preview comics much
easier to read, enabling our employees to be informed about the
goings-on in the books when they open on Wednesday morning, so they're
ready to make intelligent recommendations to our customers. The
improvements to the mini-sites were welcome, too, and have addressed
many of the requests we made."

Does YOUR retailer have a website? Be sure to ask your retailer if they
have joined the MRRC and check out their websites for info on all your
favorite comics, upcoming events, and more!
