I am new to this network but am so charged up to be around other positive minded people.

For the first half of my life I spent it in misery as I only contemplated failure and lack. But now that my mind has been freed from that bondage I can serve others more fully now.

Now I am in the process of spending my life in the pursuit of helping others. I now know in my heart that the more people we help in our life the more happiness and contentment and joy we will feel throughout it.

As a way to say thanks to the members of this group for letting me join, I am giving away a book on internet marketing. This is my free gift to everyone.

Here’s the special link I created for members of this network to download it for free:

Yes, I want my FREE e-book!

I look forward to communicate with the members of this community to learn more about what I am doing wrong in my marketing efforts.

Feel free to add me as your friend!

Good luck and happy selling!!

Best Regards,

Dac Colden

Presentation Is Everything
I do a lot of book events.
Book Fairs, Book Festivals, Signings, On-line events, Book Club Meetings, etc. I try hard to attend these events for business, but also because I am a Book Lover,
So it’s purely for enjoyment either way.
I have the ability to look at things from 2 sets of eyes. One set see’s what is presentated and the other see’s the business side of it.
Of course in seeing there is analyzing going on too.
I see a lot of what to do, and what NOT to do.
Here’s my 2 cent…
Atmosphere is everything
If you are a romance author, bring some romance with you!
and create ambiance.
If I were an author I would have a suitcase filled with props and tools to make my signing or table or booth EXTRAORDINARY.
Need A Theme ? Let Me Create One For you !!!
I can layout a theme and all the props you need to create a intimate setting!!!


When I do book events, I try to have a theme, or find out what the event theme is so everything pulls together.

The object of the game is to draw people in, MADE YOU LOOK !
Once you get their attention make your pitch,
PUT THE BOOK IN THERE HANDS!!! I have seen many authors do this and they sell more than those who just point to them or hold it themselves
Keep your sales pitch 3 to 4 minutes at best, because that most peoples attention span, especially if you are at a book festival.
If you are shy, the props and setups will draw people to you.


Have attractive promo items
(HINT HINT) like
Giftmarks, Book Thongs,

That will have you info on it for future contact.
Have them sign a guest book like the one’s they have at Weddings. This builds your mailing list. Send a Thank You Note , after the event for coming, and whats coming up from you, add a ½ mark and a book plate


At an instore signing,
You’re still a little shy, and you want to get the discussion started, or they are a little up tight because they are a little nervous.
Hmmmmm , what’s an author to do????
Play a game !!!
It breaks the ice and all of the people in the group win a prize
YOUR PROMO MATERIAL !!!!
At the end of the discusson the most active participant wins a
Book Thong and a book
You’ll have a fan for life

Trust me, I started this business to support my book habit,
I am first and foremost a bookaholic !!!

If you are not the creative type and would like me to create your bag of tricks, and other Promo Materials, let me know

Some authors like to buy packages such as
Thongs, full size bookmarks, ½ marks, book plates and the love notes. They customize them and send them to different targets.
To maximize their reach,
Book Clubs
Book Events
Contests
Promotional opportunities
Signings


Your Giftmark
Can have
Your picture
Book cover
Contact information
Current and up-coming releases
Past works
Tour schedule
All of your books
Double sided for dual releases or anthologies

What Do I offer
Bookmarks
(Giftmarks)
Half-marks
Book Thongs
Book Plates
Note Cards
Press Packets
Promotional Tools

This is what I do but,
It’s all about you
Your work
Your words
Your readers
Your style
Your way
The ½ mark and a book plate fit in note card and is ready to mail very personal, a very nice touch from you to your fans

A favorite “GIFT-mark” might have a useable lifetime of many years, and thus might be viewed many thousands of times. Bookmarks are an under-rated and under-appreciated vehicle for advertising
