Free Comic Book Day Spotlight: Keenspot!
Each day through the end of January, Diamond Daily will turn the
spotlight on a Silver Free Comic Book Day edition. We hope that this will allow
you to make the most informed buying decision when purchasing your FCBD
editions.
Remember: You must buy at least 25 copies of each Gold Sponsor title in order to be a participating retailer for FCBD 2003. You must also own a storefront business and agree to give away the comics on May 3, 2003.
In 2002, Keenspot joined Free Comic Book Day with its Keenspot Spotlight. This year, the publisher re-ups with not one, but two special editions: the largest FCBD offering (at 80+ pages) Keenspace.com 2003 FCBD Edition (JAN030033J, $0.75) and Keenspot Spotlight 2003 FCBD Edition (JAN030034J, $0.35).
Quick Synopses:
Keenspace.com 2003 - FCBD Edition
Keenspace.com, Keenspot's free web hosting service for all aspiring comic creators, presents this giant 80-page sampler featuring the work of dozens of cartoonists hosted by Keenspace.com, plus a detailed tutorial on how to get a Keenspace.com account and publish comics on the web. Nurture your own creativity while you check out work from up-and-coming comics talent at the same time! This book is black and white, with more than 80 pages of content.
Keenspot Spotlight 2003 - FCBD Edition
A diverse 48-page sampler of Keenspot comics like L33t: Comics For Gamers, Cutewendy, Exploitation Now, Wandering Ones, and much more. This black and white title is 48 pages long.
Why They're Good for Free Comic Book Day (And You!):
In terms of a value proposition, the Keenspot books are tough to beat. Yes, Keenspace.com is costlier than other FCBD editions, but it's also more than twice as long! And the Keenspot Spotlight 2003 serves as an excellent introduction to the world of Keenspot's comics, with 48 pages for free.
How to Use Them:
The Keenspot comics are a great way to hook pre-existing customers on a new line, thus raising your revenues. But you can do more than that.
L33t appeals to gamers. Wandering Ones appeals to sci-fi fans. And so on. Each story represented in Keenspot Spotlight can be used to woo a different type of consumer to comic books. (And if they like more than one, so much the better!)
Moving on to Keenspace.com: Many new consumers and visitors to your store on Free Comic Book Day may only be familiar with comics through web comics. Many websites (especially portals like Yahoo!) use web comics as content to keep visitors coming back. Keenspace.com features an astonishing variety of comics and talent, with something for everyone. The paper comic being given away can entice readers to try the website...which in turn hooks them on the full comics, which drives them to stores in search of more!
