Hey guys,
On October 6th, Heroes Only turned one-year-old without missing a beat. After a year, the store is still healthy and has already advanced from a slow crawl to walking upright on its own.
Today is the 18th of October. I suppose I could lie and say that this blog is late in coming because I’m just such a busy guy that I forgot all about our one year milestone, but what kind of guy would I be if I can’t admit the truth, folks?
I got lazy.
Sure, I’m fairly busy, too, but in the hustle and bustle, I could have wedged this blog in on time.
For better or worse, that’s my apology. Now that that’s out of the way:
Let’s discuss some of things that the future holds for the store and all of the great people that help allow us to open the door everyday.
1. The Heroes Only eBay Store. When? Now. You’ll see some of our store merchandise for sale there as well as taking consignments for those trying to unload comics, cards, games, figures, and other related collectibles. We’ll have a few things up for auction beginning this weekend. I’ll have a link to the store up on our site either today or tomorrow. If there’s anything you’d like to consign feel free to email or speak with me.
2. More Saturday tournaments. We’re going to have Saturday tournaments much more frequently and try to pump some more creativity into them by offering new formats and more unorthodox play conditions. Don’t worry, there’ll also be the traditional standards mixed in there as well. Also keep your eyes open for more creative prizes to be awarded.
3. Secret Thing That will Benefit Customers with Comic Book Subscription Boxes. That’s the working title. Comic book subscribers can look forward to experiencing more control of their subscription boxes in the near future. We’re keeping this under wraps for now, but look for this to be unrolled in the next month or two.
4. Member Loyalty Program. In the coming months we’ll be offering a customer loyalty program that will offer participating customers discounts on merchandise in the store.
5. Brian Keene. This is probably the closest event on the horizon. The famous, award-winning horror author will be stopping by the store on November 15th to sign autographs from 1 to 4pm. Comics and books will be available. We’re offering raffling off random prizes throughout the day. For more info on Brian Keene, visit the Events link of our website.
Those are just a few of things you can look forward to beginning now and in the near future. Believe me, we’ve got plenty more where that came from. If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Jeremy@heroesonly.net
Thanks to everyone who stuck with us and contributed during our first year. We appreciate it! Look forward to many more good times to come!
