Collectors Cornered #20 - Christmas & Year End Wrap Up 2011!

Collectors Cornered is a weekly video column, filmed inside Collectors Corner in Baltimore. Join us every week as we discuss comic book news from a different point of view and get instant feedback from real customers on New Comics Day, as we literally corner them and and ask questions about comic books and related topics. Unscripted, reality CC. This week we feature footage from our Christmas Eve Sale starting at 9:00 AM on Dec 24th along with customers shopping and enjoying the tremendous savings of our Annual X-Mas Eve Store wide sale. This year 2011 was a great year for Comic Books all around. Sales were way up and DC Comics did the unthinkable and rebooted their entire line which was a resounding success here at CC. Comics have been trending up even as talk of digital content grows we are seeing no loss of readers to that format that we can calculate. Some big movies helped drive sales like Captain America, Thor and Green Lantern, even if they weren't all fan faves or box office smashes, awareness is awareness. We also celebrated our 10 Year Anniversary in 2011, a major milestone for the store. As always we look towards innovation, expansion, improvement and the ultimate in customer service and experience at the store. Wait til you see some of the things we are working on for 2012. Free Comic Book Day was huge in 2011 for us with over 5,000 people through the doors and we are looking at making it an even bigger event this year. We were also nominated for an Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award which was a great honor and we are hoping for a repeat or even a win this coming year! Thanks to everyone near and far that shops at "The Coolest store in Baltimore!" Since 2001. Remember Kids, Comic Books are awesome, paper comic books that is. Stay Tuned for next week’s Collectors Cornered #21 - Typical Wednesday. Seeya Next week! Continue the discussion in the forum here on BC, or on our CC Facebook and Twitter.
