Seriously, the banner for websites idea sounds good… I mean, I’ve gone to other comics based off of a banner I saw on someone’s website and loved it (most notably, Squidi and Star Cross’d Destiny).

On another note, I don’t suppose I could beg you or someone else into at least getting a table in the Dealer’s Room for Nekocon this year? I know it’s a long drive, but you seem to have a decent sized fanbase down here, and I’d love a chance to buy some of your stuff IRL (I’ve had problems with internet shipping in the past, so I’m typically a bit reluctant to… and the Kimiko Blanket is crying out for me to buy it… along with half the store…)

A competition such as 1 Entry into it with every order? The prize could be an item from the store or something personalised. I never got around to getting a Broken Miho poster so would instantly find something to but if I had the chance to win a signed one of those…

Also, you tend to mention other peoples sites when they release new products (e.g. Gameskins). I know a lot of us don’t like doing this but you could be cheeky and ask if they could return the favour and give your store a mention.

Fred? Your main advertising base is reading this blog right now, duh. My suggestion for getting the word out: make a Megagear banner for people to use on their websites/discussion forum signatures/wherever and let the word spread from there. It’ll also help if you regularly hold sales on specific goods — hell, even the occasional contest would be great — and make sure that’s advertised visibly someplace on both the comic and webstore sites.

Just love that picture by Vaz has put on eBay… have put bid in on it (don’t care what postage to UK would be for it). Would be an amazing piece to own.

Now if I can just find some time (and money) to travel to the US, go to a con, and queue for a couple of hours to get a sketch off you…
