captain_slinkySince DC is offering "Day One Digital" copies of their stuff, and Marvel is offerign their digital tuff for free at Starbucks...
Is there any reason why you couldn't do in-house scanning and offer a free digital copy of each comic purchased?
Make it a service for box subscribers, issue each customer a thumb drive with the store logo on it. Offer them two options - in store upload at time of purchase, or pay on-line to get the files e-mailed to them and they can stop by the shop any time they like to pick up their physical copies.
Bet of all (imho), thi isn't going to be too helpful to the HUGE comic book shop that don't need the help, but will be a HUGE BOON to smaller shops with the time and the devoted clientele to make it happen. Don't advertise this, just let it be word of mouth. Make it a secret club for just you and your subscribers, an added bonus service you offer your customers.
