Favorite Recent Comic Book: Motor Girl

How was your Halloween ComicFest event?  Very good.  We’d only been open one month and did not expect as strong a turnout as we had.

What has been your best promotion or event?  Local Comic Shop Day combined with our Grand Opening Celebration

What recent changes have you made in the store?  All of it – we’re new!

What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general?  Facebook has been a huge help.  I don’t know how stores managed without it.  Also using newspaper ads and mobile digital advertising.

How did you choose your store name?  I’ve always had an obsession with dreams, and every business I have owned in the comics industry has always had that word in the name.  And the alliteration of DreamDaze was too fun to pass up.

What superpower would you most like to have?  Flight
