Monday Morning Marketing Tip – November 29, 2010

Rob Eagar’s Monday Morning Marketing Tip is written to help authors, publishers, and organizations spread their message like wildfire.

This week’s focus:
If you’re an author selling books or a business selling products, your customers are internally wondering, “If I give you my money first, will I get a return on my investment?” The return you provide could be increased knowledge, a problem solved, or hours of pure entertainment. But, it better be something that the customer deems worthy of their purchase. If you create a positive result, you will win the exciting prize called “word-of-mouth.” If you fail to create a positive result, you may wind up with the booby prize of obscurity and looking for another job.

What kind of return on investment are you confident that you can create for your target audience? Take a moment today to write out at least three distinct results. Then, examine if that information is clearly communicated in your marketing materials, such as your website, brochure, bios, newsletters, etc. If it’s missing, don’t let this week pass by without improving those materials and making your results apparent.

Your Publisher Is Not Your Marketer

Many authors quietly assume their publisher is better at marketing books than they are. This perspective isn’t foolish—it’s actually logical. But, this mindset also puts the author’s book at far greater risk than they might realize. Most authors don’t come from marketing backgrounds. They’re professors, counselors, pastors, executives, clinicians, artists, parents, or first-time authors who

Relying on your publisher to market a book can be a risky mistake. Here is what authors should do instead.
