Improvements coming to proudlion.co.uk - but first, last chance to grab a bargain!

by Rae

If you fancy a geeky bargain, this weekend will be your last chance to grab reduced items from our online outlet store! Customers have until midnight, Sunday 26 July, to take advantage of reduced items currently for sale online at proudlion.co.uk!

Proud Lion Outlet Store currently provides end of line items that have been reduced to clear, with the option of paid shipping or free collection in store. While this has provided some of our customers with another avenue of shopping with us, we wish to expand the webstore to provide more functionality. In order to achieve this, we need to make some improvements to proudlion.co.uk, which will require a small amount of downtime.

From Monday 27 July, the webstore will be temporarily under maintenance. Once this essential work is complete, we hope to provide you with an improved online shopping experience. More details will be released once the maintenance is finished and the refreshed webstore is ready!

Rae has a few too many RPG ideas floating around in her head this week.

Proud Lion Digital (powered by Comixology) - new features!

Proud Lion Digital has been updated with some exciting new features thanks to our partners at Comixology!

Based on our feedback and yours, they've rebuilt our affiliate site in HTML5, so now it even works on iOS devices! You can now buy digital comics online and support your friendly neighbourhood comic shop on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, alongside Android devices and any internet connected computer. This is great news, as I know a lot of you enjoy the experience of using the Comxiology app on iOS devices, but now you can get all the same functionality through proudliondigital.co.uk.

All the functionality? Yes indeed, the HTML5 relaunch also adds lots of successful new features to proudliondigital.co.uk. These include:

• Better branding (the Proud Lion Digital logo now appears on every page so you canbe sure you're in the right place)
• Gifting (now you can purchase digital comics for friends and family whilst also supporting Proud Lion)
• Pre Orders
• Wish Lists
• Bundles
• Subscriptions (a fantastic new service from Comixology which essentially adds a digital comics pull list for your favourite titles)
• Sales page (listing currently active sales)
• Recent purchases list
• New "Browse" menu (which lets you browse books by series, top rated, creator, genre and story arcs)

You use your existing Comixology login details to use Proud Lion Digital and everything you buy can be read on Proud Lion Digital or on your Comixology app, because it syncs all of your purchases for ease of reading.

I'd suggest bookmarking proudliondigital.co.uk to your preferred browser ASAP!

Many thanks to our partners at Comixology and to our lovely customers for your continued support.

Proud Lion Digital (powered by Comixology) is live!

You can now support Proud Lion, Gloucestershire's premier comic shop, when you buy digital comics! Just click on the image above to be taken to our affiliated Digital Store, powered by Comixology.

(Please note that Comixology use Flash to construct these affiliate sites, and as such they do not work on iOS devices at this time. Similarly, making in-app purchases on the Comixology app does not support Proud Lion.)
