“Books: Special Market Sales”
So your book is done… it looks great. You feel great. Then … the big question. NOW WHAT!!! What do I do next? How am I going to sell these boxes of books? Is there more to life than just back of the room sales and retail establishments?
What if you could secure an order of 5 or 6 figures for your book? With cash up front, no returns and the strong possibility that the order will bring in more book orders and probably even some speaking engagements as well.
That’s what special market sales is all about. Corporations, associations, not-for-profits and government entities are looking for high-quality books that can be used for brand loyalty programs, product introduction and consumer appreciation campaigns. Selling large-quantity book sales is an under-used opportunity for authors who want to break through the normal retail sales figures. In fact, Vickie and Ted believe it might be easier to sell 10,000 books to one company than to sell 1,000 to retail businesses.
Attendees will discover:
- Strategies to align and identify potential sponsors;
- How to look outside the box for expanded market possibilities;
- How your publication possesses unlimited value added potential for your sponsor’s brand, products and customer loyalty;
- The secrets for powerful and effective closing.
