FREE Webinar: Sizzling Hot for Cooling Down December … Tips and Tricks to Get Your Book into Independent Bookstores
Dec 6 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

image001

When: Tuesday, December 6th at 4 PT, 5MT, 6CT, 7 ET

Independent bookstores are among the very best places for indie authors to sell their books.

Many of these stores have fiercely loyal customers.

And unlike the big chains, some stores are willing to give your book a “test run” to see if it sells. And they are willing to purchase directly from you, the publisher.

But not every book is right for every indie bookstore.

Join me from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time on TUESDAY, December 6th–when I host Amy Collins and Daniel Hall who will do free training on “How Indie Authors & Publishers Can Sell Tons of Books To Independent Book Stores.”  Remember: even if you can’t attend the webinar live, you want to register. Why?—because you will get the replay

You will learn:

* An overview of the kinds of books independent book and gift stores want to see

* What they buy and when they buy them

* How stores GET books and how to get your book on their shelves

* How to know if your book belongs in a certain stores and if there’s room on their shelves for it

* The key questions to ask yourself before you approach the stores

* Step by step example of the first email to send a buyer to get the ball rolling

* How to change their minds if they say “no”

If you’re a publisher or author, don’t miss this training. Amy and Daniel will stay on the lined until all your questions are answered.

P.S.

These stores are great places to rack up sales so you can then approach the big box retailers like Costco and Walmart.
