OVS - Price Crash (may not be as dramatic as pictured)

It's been a little while coming, but I have finally reduced the price of OVS from £5, down to £3!

Originally, back with OVS1, the price was set at £6, as I had the chance for the comic to be distributed. On the whole, major distributors take about two thirds of the cover price, so that's often any profits gone, and the danger of sinking into below cost price. Mind you, FPI gave us a much better deal and a try out in their stores which was good of them.

OVS 2 dropped to £5 afterwards, which seemed a much more competivive price compared to what was available on the newsagents shelves. I had been selling OVS cheaper at festivals, where there are a lot of small press comics vying for attention and people are understandably more interested in buying what they know rather than trying something unknown. But I did very well selling OVS for £3 at the 2006 Lancaster event and I've been doing it on and off at festivals since.

Now with a new print deal making it easier and cheaper, the price is dropping to £3 for OVS4, so I've decided to lower the price for OVS1-3 to £3 also in the shop and at festivals. It's probably about as competitive as I dare go, but I feel it puts OVS in line with current newstand prices for comics.

So, as Rob has given the shop a spring clean, now is the best time ever to order yourself a copy of the universally broadcast Omnivistascope.
