Standing out in a crowd

Super Human Resources

Over at the Comic Geek Speak forums, retailer James Sime highlights an independent book that he recently took note of, APE’s Super Human Resources, thanks to their marketing efforts:

I got this in the mail today. 7 days before my orders are placed. These guys really nailed the world’s best timing with this one (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten these kind of things too late for initial orders, huge waste of money!). The package was addressed to my shop, with a big fat “ATTN: James Sime” on the front of it. That’s nice, I like to know they give a crap who is going to be spending his hard earned American dollars on their book. And although I won’t use this poster, other retailers probably will, and I definitely appreciate the money and effort that went into the package.

Sime goes over other things they did right at the link above.

    I am looking forward to Super Human Resources. Justin Bleep’s art is pitch perfect for the concept. It’s a fun story about what it’s like to be on a superteam. In the HR department.
