Recessionary times are NOT the time to give up promoting, only to find more--ahem...FRUGAL ways to do it! I thought this opportunity a great way to market a book at two book fairs without traveling.
Let your book be seen in a catalog distributed to readers at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo, April 9-12, 2009. The opportunity includes display of your book for four days to an estimated 84,000 fair-goers. If you have more than 1 book, that’s OK! The cost of advertising is one, low, flat fee!
What you get:~Your book(s) on display for 4 days at the Clark County Fair & Rodeo, April 9-12, 2009
~A full-page advertisement in the 1000 give-away, interactive digital catalogs
~A full-page advertisement for one-full year on the Association of Local Authors Website
~ADDED BONUS! Digital catalogs will also be distributed at the LA Times Festival of Books. (Estimated 140 visitors.)
Cost: $100 (That’s only 10 cents per catalog. It’s cheaper than giving a bookmark!)

Now THAT is a bargain!
ReplyDeleteThat's probably not the audience for my books, but I am sure there are many other opportunities that we miss...

I've done this before with you, Carolyn...when my book was originally published.
ReplyDeleteYou and the group do a great job of publicizing anyone who participates.
Thanks for all you do for authors.
