| Ways To Get Your Self Published Book Into the Public''s Eyes and Hands. |
That’s right! Take Your Book down to your local ‘Indie Mom and Pop’s’ coffee shops, and other Specialty/Novelty shops, and then talk to the owners. Ask them if they would like to have a FREE HOUSE COPY of your book to place on their shelf for their patrons to read. Ask The Owner/Manager If They Would like to have a personal copy, signed even Thanking them for allowing you to place your book in their store!!!
Make Some Easy Posters aka (P.O.S.’s) Point Of Sales Signs.
Make as good of a copy as you can afford of the Cover and the back copy, include your picture; (be creative, make your poster clear with ways for people to purchase copies of your book). Let everyone know you are a local Author!
Glue the copies of your poster to clean cardboard or paste board (use spray adhesive, which makes it a little smoother, and then cut to size). Paste on BOTH sides! Of course ask the Owner/Manager if it would be okay to display your P.O.S. sign. Only set up one, don’t be greedy :0)…If you can do more, go for it!
Placement
Place your sign at the front of the store or on the bookshelf or on a table or two, like I said, don’t be greedy, at least not yet. They might want to do some kind of consignment deal???
A couple-a-few different ways to display your P.O.S.’s Signs, is to hang them from the ceiling with fishing wire, (Use a hole puncher to tie the string through, and then fasten it safely to the ceiling. Another is to staple the poster to cardboard tubing and use a longneck beer bottle filled with sand to hold the bottle firmly and place it in a nice spot where the owner/manager tells you to place it. Make Your Sign Eye Level!
Be creative; Fasten a Pocket to Hold 'Biz Cards' onto the Poster, With The Information to View Your Website and Purchase Your Book And Other Merchandise.
