"Shoppers! Head back to the bakery for a great deal! Come pick up a copy of the book, THIS, THAT AND SOMETIMES THE OTHER, written by our own Rochelle Fields for $15.95. When you do, you will receive $5.00 worth of bakery items absolutely free! Not only that, but if you ask Rocky, she'll personalize your book for free!"
About four were sold during the holiday promo at Independence Hy-Vee. So far, out of the twenty copies we ordered at the store, we've sold eight. Not exactly a barn buster, but respectable. Not to mention I've had some positive feedback from those who bought.
Another 75 copies are on their way and, so far, 5 are spoken for. Meanwhile, there are other marketing strategies to pursue. By turns I'm excited and terrified.
Congratulations. Excited and terrified are pretty much right where you need to be in marketing a book. You must be doing it right!

Dear Dale,
DeleteI shoulda known you'd leave a comment here. Good thing I checked my aol mailbox, eh? It wasn't until I joined Friday Fictioneers that my following really increased. At any rate, thank you for swinging by, my friend.
Shalom and lotsa hugs,
Rochelle
