- artist alley time wasters will drive you crazy at your first comic con, BUT in this video, I'm going to show you how to deal with these accidental time wasters. Yep, if you have never done a comic con before or had a table in artist alley, these are the people who come to your table, spend ages looking through your comics, ask you LOADS of questions about making comics and then leave artist alley without buying a single comic. it's infuriating but this video will help you deal with them.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, i'm always here to help.
Remember…IF I CAN MAKE COMICS...ANYONE CAN!

There's a saying that we have at my company. "One happy customer will bring 10 paying customers. One angry customer will lose you 100 paying customers."
That is VERY true matey
totally thought this was gonna be a complainer video, what a beautiful plot twist ❤
Anyone would think I’m a writer 😜 cheers for watching, dude 👍
I was concerned about where this was beginning, but I'm glad it came around. 😁
Oh ye of little faith 😇 thanks for watching
When I'm at a convention and I see an artist at a table and chat and when I see other customers coming, I offer for them to look through the artist folder when there are multiple folders so that could help the artist with potential sales too.
That’s a nice thing to do 👍
Gold! Absolute gold! You're spot on! Be nice and have conversations. A good conversation will live on much longer than you think. Perfect example of what you just shared.
Cheers dude
Couldn't agree more, I've been to so many shows where I get chatting to other attendees and often we talk about whose table to avoid. So a bad attitude can definitely have a knock on effect and follow you.
cheers for watching buddy and gald you agree! :D
Different country (Germany) but my experience here is that people don't wanna engage at all. As soon as you say "hi", they hightail it outta there... I actually started to ignore them until they try to get my attention. Has served me better in terms of sales.
That’s a really interesting take on the situation...I wonder how well I would do at a German con 🤪
WOW massive twist, I did not see that ending coming... :D
He he he
This advice you have is 100% spot on. I've been doing shows for over a decade and I would rather have a con filled with genuine connections and conversations over sales.
Your brand's foundation needs to be built on good merit. That good merit will lead to genuine sales where the buyer will truly fall in love with you and your work.
Cheers for the love dude
Good message my dude
Cheers dude
Great video…can’t wait for Vodou Cowboy!
Awwww cheers dude...ands going to print this week 😜
Great video as always. One of the comic Facebook pages I follow posted one of your videos and there was a lot of positive comments on the video, just wanted to let you know.
Keep it up!
Really, that’s awesome thank you so much for letting me know! 😊
OMG, I’m guilty of this. I LOVE talking to creators I admire! I try to not bother them if they are busy. I definitely buy at their table. Usually a couple hundred dollar commission or sketches and issues.
I hope I don’t come off as annoying around these creators.
I’m sure you don’t matey...and this video is not about annoying customers...but more about how YOU deserve to be treated,
Thanks so much for watching
Well said Matt
Wait...what?! 😜
I was really looking forward to seeing your dark side here Matt (..."and then, I beat the guy to death with his own shoes" or "I paid these guys to bundle him into the back of a van and abandon him in the Highlands of Scotland"). 😉 Nope, turns out that you are just nice and good at what you do.
Ha ha ha...I could never be mean to someone at a comic con...or could I? Hmmmmmm🤔
Ngl you had me at the first half
He he he…glad you stuck with it 😜
Good content Mr Garvey, hope your well pal!
Thank you, Chloe...thanks so much for watching!
All good here too thanks 😊
I was so against the first part of this video then you flipped a switch.
😜
how did you find your artist
Years of networking with online communities, matey
Why does this say (2002)?
Because I’m an idiot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@MattGarveyComics lol
It’s true I am.
Thanks for the view and heads up
@@MattGarveyComics no problem, Matt.
I feel I was probably one of those guys Matt. Sorry for ever wasting your time. At least now you can just refer people to your channel!!
Don’t be daft my time is NEVER wasted at comic cons talking to people so no need to apologise!
Thanks so much for watching 👍
