How to Sell to Libraries – Top Ten Strategies for Independent Authors and Publishers

Get your book reviewed in a library journal. Library purchasing decisions are based largely on reviews in the major journals. It’s impossible for librarians to keep up with the huge volume of books being published, and they value the screening process that the journals provide. Eligibility and submission instructions vary by publication, so read the requirements carefully. Unfortunately, the journals can review only a small percentage of the books submitted to them. If you aren’t able to get reviewed in major journals, play up your other reviews in your marketing materials.

Guest Blog: Marketing with Integrity – interview with Pam Perry, PR coach

Pam Perry: You don’t have to be a mega church to do things in excellence. You don’t have to be a T.D Jakes in order to have a really tight brand. You can do something as simple as sticking to a consistent color. That is branding. The typical Christian needs to feel that their church is relevant. I look in the urban areas in which there is a church on every corner. Why don’t the churches involve the community to rebuild those churches? The reason why that does not happen is because the community feels that the church is just a little club that they do not understand, that is not relevant and basically recycles Christians every Sunday. We have to become relevant. We have to engage the community. This should be a lifestyle not just something that happens on Sunday. It can be the little things, texts messages or having a nice package for the CD of the sermon. We can do things in excellence.
