Quick Direct Marketing Techniques for New Authors
As a new author, you might as well acquaint yourself with the company who had done your business card printing. You will be needing more of their services as soon as your book gets published when you need to promote it to independent bookstores. Since marketing any item is hard work, you can lessen the burden with the following tips:
Compile a list of independent bookstores.
Before you pick which printing services would suit the theme of your book, secure a list of bookstores first along with the names of their manager or proprietor and address. If you have no time to research on this information, you can purchase the list to use for your direct mail. The latter may be more convenient, but it will require you to put out cash which you could have gone to your printing costs. Besides, you still have to double-check if the addresses are correct or if the personnel’s names are updated.
Go for the inexpensive options.
A half-page flyer, if crafted well, can serve the purpose of informing the bookstore of your new book. Another option is to write a sales letter and order a bulk of it from your printer to send out.
