Marketing off to a Flyer Start!


When it comes to marketing it seems never ending on what to have to interest people to buy your books. In the past I’ve had book marks printed, but the size limits how much information can be shared. This week I took the plunge and ordered flyers and a poster. The flyers are B5, folded with each page showing one of the three books with its blurb, whilst including that the books are all available in paperback and Kindle. My web site is there too for readers to find out more about me, my books and my future writings.


I will be using the poster and flyers at book signings and if readers feel uncomfortable about buying from a signing, they can take a flyer, read what my books are about in their own time and hopefully they will then order a copy in paperback or Kindle.

Today, I’ve been able to leave a few flyers in shops where tourists are plentiful. My mission for the coming months is to spend more time marketing on a personal level, talking to readers and answering any questions they might have.

I’ll report in from time to time on how everything is going.

Until next time, thanks for stopping by and let’s catch up again soon!

I'll be interested to know how your personal style of selling reaps rewards. I always find it achieves more than online - small, but steady. Good luck!
