...Hidden Treasure Books Marketing
image

The goal of this grass roots-based promotion is to build a steady and upward sales history for participating books. Expected to build reader loyalty for authors, it will thereby increase sales for other titles that author may have in release. The easily referenced, detailed CD catalog familiarizes the bookseller with undiscovered treasure; well-written, entertaining and informative works which will reinforce customer appreciation as they explore new talent, niche collections and the essential spirit of independently published, non-formulaic works.

A comprehensive marketing solution for authors, they may choose to remain relatively uninvolved or opt to be available for booksignings and personal appearances regionally or coordinated with a vacation tour.

HTB publicity representatives will also actively promote titles with coordinated opportunities for print, radio and Internet advertising in addition to creative, effective promotions geared to expose books to their ideal readers. Point of sale will always be directed to official Hidden Treasure Books retailers.
