Other than books I've sold to friends and family, she's my top sales woman!<br /><br />I've done book marks and web-tours. I just wish there was a way to actually track sales based on these efforts.<br /><br />I've done book signings at local craft fairs, and these have not been successful for me. I guess that's just the way it goes.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-39733585295075754822012-10-09T13:38:42.095-07:002012-10-09T13:38:42.095-07:00Oh, sorry Ana, I missed you there.

I eventually caved, and now I like having a variety of goodies to hand out.<br /><br />Paula, sure! She actually just met someone on vacation who was reading. Asked what she was reading and started talking about books. The person likes romance, my mother-in-law mentioned me and supposedly she'd heard of me. I personally think the woman was just being polite, but my MIL plans to get her to buy my books by the end of the vacation. Not sure I shouldn't apologize to the woman! :)Jennifer Wilckhttp://www.jenniferwilck.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-12556615962844307162012-10-09T13:36:04.811-07:002012-10-09T13:36:04.811-07:00Great suggestions, Jen.

I have also seen self-published authors with booths at craft shows.<br />I will have to tackle the "national" stage, too. Your experiences are a good help.<br />Ana Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12325215832587691886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-56889210098986531082012-10-09T06:41:15.666-07:002012-10-09T06:41:15.666-07:00Can I borrow your mother-in-law please??

Seriously, though, I think the best advertising is 'word of mouth'.<br />As you already know, I'm envious of your opportunities for book signings, author talks etc. My local bookshop does't want to know, the chain bookstore in the shoppping mall only has book signings sessions by 'celebrities' or at least well-known authors, the local libraries do very little (and have to order all their books centrally) and we don't seem to have book festivals like you do. There seem to be far fewer opportunities here for promotion and marketing.

I've never tried the magnets, but I like the way you tied it (and the book marks) to the season.jrlindermuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204855909246670628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-72344082405813269542012-10-09T06:07:55.766-07:002012-10-09T06:07:55.766-07:00Thank you for sharing- I love book marks and think...Thank you for sharing- I love book marks and think they are a fantastic way to get information out.Summer Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122694893668693244noreply@blogger.com
