Vault Comics Ventures into Direct-to-Retailer Distribution
Vault Comics is shaking up its distribution model. Starting February 3, they’re unveiling a direct-to-retailer distribution service. This new approach will complement their existing methods, offering comic enthusiasts even more ways to get their hands on Vault titles.
A New Chapter in Distribution
The direct-to-retailer platform launches with a selection of key backlist and frontlist titles available immediately. Vault plans to expand the catalog with more titles over the coming weeks. Retailers keen on setting up direct sales can register on Vault’s website. The company offers enticing incentives: new accounts registered before February 28 will enjoy free shipping for six months.
To sweeten the deal, Vault is providing at least a 50% discount off the retail price on all products, with additional discounts based on order totals. Continual free shipping accompanies qualifying orders, making this an attractive venture for retailers.
Aligning with Industry Standards and Innovations
Vault ensures top-notch service with packing and shipping policies that meet or exceed industry norms. Moreover, the company is realigning its publishing plans. This involves adjusting formats and release dates across all distribution channels—direct-to-retailer, Lunar Distribution, and Simon & Schuster. Some forthcoming titles may experience delays, but Vault promises further announcements soon.
According to Damian Wassel, Vault’s CEO, this move comes from a desire to serve fans, comic shops, and booksellers better. Wassel emphasizes the significance of this step for Vault’s creators and fans, highlighting the potential for delivering exceptional publications directly to the retailers who championed Vault’s growth.
Looking Ahead to Future Releases
While precise release dates are still under wraps, Vault is poised to maintain its reputation for bringing unique stories to life. They guarantee that changes, whether in format or timeline, will enhance the reading experience.
Ultimately, this move illustrates Vault’s commitment to evolving with the market’s demands. By fostering closer relationships with retailers, Vault aims to sustain its momentum in the comic book industry. This service not only strengthens these bonds but also promises a streamlined journey from creator to fan.
Stay tuned for more updates as Vault continues to revolutionize its approach to comic distribution.
