Free Comic Book Day Spotlight: Promotional Items!

In order to help retailers promote Free Comic Book Day in their stores, Diamond and the participating sponsors are making available an array of promotional materials and items. Be sure to stock up and start spreading the word!

Please note: The ship dates listed on the April 2004 Retailer Order Form are in error. All FCBD promotional items will arrive throughout the month of June.

Additionally, all orders for FCBD promotional items are due by the Online Order Due Date, April 27, 2004. Diamond apologizes for the error.

Remember: You must buy at least $45.00 worth of the Gold Sponsor titles in order to be a participating retailer for FCBD 2004. You must also own a storefront business and agree to give away the comics on July 3, 2004.


As a Participating Retailer in FCBD 2004, you will receive free promotional materials to help drive new readers into your store, including free promotional posters (one courtesy of the Free Comic Book Day Gold Sponsors (measuring 22" x 28"), one from DC for every 50 copies of its FCBD edition ordered, and one from Gemstone Comics), a free ad slick/bag slick for promoting the event and your store, both in your store and/or in cross-promotion with other businesses, a free FCBD window cling (measuring 8/5" x 11"), and a customizable press release to send to local media to gain coverage and exposure for your store. (You can order additional posters and window clings at low cost.)

Furthermore, there is an array of low-cost promotional materials you can order on pages 12-13 of the April 2004 Order Form. You can order additional copies of the FCBD Committee's poster for only $0.65 each, for example. Take advantage of WizKids' Bag O' Spider-Man, which gives you 50 Spider-Man HeroClix figures for only $20.00 - the perfect giveaway at the height of Spider-Mania!

Additionally, there are items emblazoned with the FCBD logo for you to use: Store bags (measuring 11x15 in 2-mil white poly with a flush-cut handle), stickers (measuring 2.5" x 2.75"), buttons (measuring 1/5" square), temporary tattoos (in bundles of 200), bookmarks, and postcards for you to give to customers old and new, as well as FCBD shelf talkers and window clings. Plus, by popular demand, FCBD t-shirts and polo shirts are available for your staff to wear leading up to the big day!

Check your April Initial Orders for these items!
