Comic and Game Stores – How are you coping with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic? One store’s present may be another store’s future, so we'd like to share your story, good or bad, with other retailers. We're especially interested in tactics to keep sales up and how successful they are, but we’re also interested if you've tried things that haven't worked, or if you've decided to just shut your doors for a period of time and what that will mean for your business.
Send your story, along with your full name, title, and store name and address to tips@ICv2.com.
Thanks for your help – sharing your experience could help a fellow retailer.
