Hello!

My name is Michael Meade and I have worked in the Comic/Gaming Retail business for the past decade, with everything from starting a brand new store to participating in the convention circuit. At my first store I started as the Assistant Manager and made my focus making all the old and new comic sections profitable. This made comics a top tier category in the companies premiere gaming store. Then I became Manager of a brand new location in which I took that the store from literal nothing to making it functional and on its way to profitable by setting up accounts, designing the showroom, merchandising, employment relations (hiring), and dealing with customer relations.

I continued my comic/game store retail journey by joining another company and jumping right into their back issues. This store was making about $2500 in back issue comics a year, however after I arrived I made the same amount in back issue sales in a month with my knowledge and expertise. This continued to grow not only the back issues, but with my suggestions in store layout and customer relations, the store began to make a steady increase in sales. I also was able to save the store money and resources on new comics with my experience with the “in’s and out’s” of the distributors in the industry.

With my background and knowledge I can help any Comic Book/Gaming Store get to where they want to be. Helping owners guide their shop and their vision in a direction that not only benefits the buisness financially but also the communities that their stores are based in.
