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:
