kate rothwell: A Seller Speaks
The top link leads to a new post about a seller that doesn't like bookmarks. I agree with that point. I got so many bookmarks from the RWA convention last summer, and other promo material for that matter. What’s the sense of giving other authors bookmarks? We only need one bookmark, not one hundred and one. And at RWA we’re definitely preaching to the choir.
When I finally invest in bookmarks, I’ll send them to my publisher (small press/e-publisher). I hear if authors send small promotional items like a bookmark, they’ll include them when they send orders out to customers. That way at least the promotional material will be getting into the hands of readers who are buying my publisher’s books.
I have considered placing my business card/book marks of some kind in used romance paperbacks that I donate to the library. There is someone on my end of town that regularly donates futuristic and paranormal romance to my branch, so if they picked up one of my old futuristic or paranormal reads with my card they just might be interested enough to buy one of my books. I haven't yet though.
