C-Day is coming on March 14th, and it?s your chance to show your enthusiasm for the brand-new bi-weekly CROSSED: BADLANDS series by the fan-favorite duo of Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows!
Avatar Press has announced the ?CROSSED C-DAY RETAILER CONTEST,? which pits retailer vs. retailer in a competition for the most creative store promotion! Are you hosting a costume contest, decorating with Halloween decorations eight months early, painting staff faces, or chasing customers with plastic machetes? We want to see the store photos and/or videos of the craziness that ensues!
All participating retailers will be promoted at BleedingCool.com to its 1 million viewers, and the Top Three C-Day Entries (as selected by Avatar) will be rewarded with a bundle of premium CROSSED goodies!
THE DETAILS:
? Retailers must confirm participation in the contest by contacting Avatar?s Keith Davidsen by February 29, 2012! Be sure to provide your complete store contact information.
? All photographs and/or videos of your wild CROSSED in-store promotion will be due to Keith Davidsen no later than March 23, 2012.
? Keith?s e-mail address is keith@avatarpress.net. Be sure to get in touch!
? GO WILD! Retailers are encouraged to come up with inventive ways to promote the launch of CROSSED: BADLANDS. Create an eye-catching endcap display of CROSSED comics and graphic novels!
