Creating a Fabulous Book Launch Event
Marketing Outside The Box by Marci Nault: For her Book Launch Party – she decided to cross-promote with local artists, wineries, theater companies, comedy clubs, and caterers. The outcome? A party that would’ve cost over $5000, but instead was only $200. She signed more than 100 books, and in this post she shares what she did to make that happen!

And Don't Forget:
Gary D. Robson Book Signing Tips for Authors:
While you’re at it, engage the staff. Be pleasant. Chat with them (when there isn’t a customer waiting). Offer to sign a book for them. Make them want to send customers over to your table. This will pay off in spades the next day when they’re telling everyone how wonderful you were and showing off your books. The signing is only the beginning. If they like you (and you wrote a decent book, of course), then they’ll hand-sell your books for months. On the flip side…
Don’t monopolize the staff. Keeping the employees from doing their job does not lead to happy store managers!
Happy Holidays and Have a Joyous New Year!
