What It's About
An update from the creator of a parent-selected, kid-approved comic book subscription box.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1720
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Last week, we heard from the owner of Heathen Wines. After hosting tours all over Europe, he changed his business model during the pandemic to offer virtual tours and sell private label wine. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Pam Farley, the co-owner of Comic Crate, a monthly comic book subscription box service. I want you to pay attention to something in particular from her update—she knows her audience, and that audience is not in fact the kids who are reading the comics. She says something like “My advice relates to comics, but you can expand it to other industries…” Let’s hear directly from her. Listen to today's episode to hear Pam's updates...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
