Today’s five is a continuation on a theme from last week – things you should do/know when attending a booksigning as an author.
Here we go:
- Always wear comfortable shoes and clothes. You will be standing for hours and if you are wearing stilettos, or shoes that pinch, you are going to be miserable.
- Make your display table sing! Have bright colors and nothing drab. Display your books lovingly – don’t just throw them on the table,willy-nilly.
- Clearly state your prices and how to pay. Either a pop-up ad on the table telling people the cost, or something written attached to the books.
- Have swag!!! useful things, not just paper postcards. Pens; Chaptsticks, hand sanitizer, bookmarks. People love free stuff with your branding on them.
- Post about the event on social media, on your blog and wherever you can, before, during and then after the event. Take pictures and tag people and the event organizers.
I did a tiktok about last week’s five and this week’s, too. They are a little bit more in-depth than the written blogs, so hop on over to my tiktok account and check them out:
