For buying and selling comics, the comic shop may be the everyday place to grab the latest issues or classic collectibles. it may even be the nostalgic favorite, or a place with guaranteed community and fellowship among other fans. However, when it comes to the ultimate experience for comics fans, that spot is reserved for a comic con. San Diego has the most famous of these, which has become the Super Bowl or WrestleMania or comic collecting.
This convention is incredibly expensive to attend, but is jam packed with big stars, idols, fans, and gobs of unbelievable collectibles. It even features major events like trailer releases and exclusive merchandise. Seriously…in case you didn’t know, Comic Con is the epicenter of exclusives from brands like Funko, NECA, Mattel, Hasbro, and more and they cost a small island’s GDP to buy on the secondary market.
This is far from the only way to get your Con fix, though. Smaller comic cons, pop culture cons, wrestling cons, horror cons, sci-fi and fantasy cons happen all over the place, from big cities to rural areas. If you plan to sell at these events, and for dealers, stores, and even collectors supporting a habit, if you have a con near you with the right audience for your merchandise you need to be.
Selling a con for a business is a great way to get exposure for your brand while making serious money from motivated buyers in your target audience. Think about this: are these people going to travel, often great distances, and pay to get into a convention and not be will to shell out the cash for what they love? Consider this also: this is you target audience, and you can’t get that at other events.
When you do sell at your next con, stand above the competition with branded custom tees from WhoopTee. Why waste this opportunity to get your brand out there? Plus, with other stands likely dressed exactly like the customers, you can look more professional. If you’re designing shirts for the event, make a design specific to the event you’re attending. It creates the perception that your business is a large one, and you can make a few extra to give away to customers who make big purchases. If they’re spending big, those are people you want to convert into regulars.
