Asian countries like Singapore) Kobo store and on Smashword’s own estore.
8.6.5. Strategic Alliances
I will be proposing my comics to Waseda University International Community Center (ICC)
and Waseda Weekly to see if it is possible to put my comics at their lounge, publications or website.
I will be also looking out for English publications and websites that are targeted to foreigners in
Japan. If a Japanese partner can be found, Evacomics will be able to open up a Japanese Facebook
page since more and more Japanese are on Facebook and comic publishers and Japanese artists are
slow in entering new channels. Finally, ideally after two years, Evacomics will become a familiar
brand to anyone who had lived in Japan before or are interested in the Japanese culture. This will
become a strong preposition to negotiate co-branding deals with Japanese brands or tour agencies
that are doing special promotions to Japan.
8.6.6. Sales Forecast
Sales from products and services are not expected to be high, as Evacomics needs to
gradually increase reputation and portfolio to sell more products and negotiate for better prices for
her services. The first book can only be release a year later and strong book sales can only be
expected after the second book on the third year. Assumed that royalty rates and profit margins from
society6 does not change over three years. Rate: USD1=SGD1.20.
