Are you ready to SELL your books with a hunger twist?
Last month, I did a special webinar on how authors can work with grocery stores and do a signing event within the Kroger chain with Ray Depew and the Authors in Grocery Stores program. I gave everyone a special discount to participate—cost is $75 to those reading this and using my link below.
Here’s why: The wise author looks for book selling opportunities. Grocery stores are a horizon that pay well … and pay fast. Are you taking advantage of them?
Middle-grade author Joseph Caldara decided to hop on board with his two kiddo books. Living in Colorado, he signed up for a store in Littleton. The results? Within a few hours, he sold 32 of his books as he greeted food shoppers surrounded by a soda and Easter display.
My disclaimer … I’ve signed up and will now set up a few dates within Colorado. How about you? Would you be interested in working with a different market? Just you at a table in a designated area the store selects. You get to be YOU. The store handles all the transactions. You get 62% of your retail price and get paid within 10 days. That’s more than what you get in a bookstore, and definitely paid sooner than what LSI/IngramSpark sends to you.
The wise author looks for opportunities. Gather new fans. Food … eating … books … it’s a happy combo. Just saying.
