Michael, Tracy’s magnetic sign isn’t on the back of the car.

I’m glad this got you thinking!

My wife will never let me put them on the car when she is in it, but I think I’ll do it when she is not.

I wonder if she put one on the back so at lights and stuff people have to star at it for a few minutes.

Instead of book marks, I have a glossy business card with my book cover and one side and my info on the other side.

I talk to people everywhere all the time and give then the business card for my book One Million in the Bank: How To Make $1,000,000 With Your Own Business, Even If You Have No Money Or Experience.

It has lead to sales and some people will call me or email me to thank me for telling them about the book after they have read it.

Thanks for the idea.

Sylvia, I’m SO glad this inspired you!

I’m just starting to ramp up promotion for my latest book of paranormal nonfiction, 44 Years In Darkness (coming in October). Thanks SO much for drilling it into my head yet again, Tracy, that I need to slip bookmarks into every book I sell. Putting two in there is brilliance! And I will definitely be heading over to Vistaprint to check out their car magnets. Thank you, thank you for the neat tip!

I’m a Vistaprint fan, Molly. In addition to using the site for business cards, I print some of my favorite photos as note cards. Kind of fun!

Good luck with those bumper stickers — share a photo in the Build Book Buzz Facebook group when you get them, OK?

I’ve ordered biz cards from Vistaprint but that’s it. I just went to their site and they also have $3.49 custom bumper stickers.

Hmmmm, I think I need to get car marketing!

How can I give my work to the world if I don’t know how to package it? What are the ingredients (a dash of marketing, a sprinkle of advertising, and two tablespoons of PR) that make up a good dish/story? It’s different for each of us. Every now and then, someone shares a few unique approaches/recipes for success. In her blog, Build Book Buzz, Sandra Beckwith shares with her readers a wonderful little success story about how one woman came up with some different ways to sell herself and her book. You can read about her unique approaches here. […]
