My newest book, Catscapades: Tales of Ordinary and Extraordinary Cats, should be available for sale next week, according to my webmaster. Watch for the big announcement. Just wait until you see the cover we designed using our cat, Winfield’s glamour photo. It’s yummy.
Your Promotional Brochure
How often do you evaluate and change your promotional brochure? That’s my project today—making some changes to my brochure. I use my brochure to introduce myself, my services and my books. I include contact information, ordering information, testimonials for some of my books and comments from former students. I’m going to change it today to include my two latest books—Catscapades and The Author’s Repair Kit. I must also change some of the specs. My brochure indicates that I’m the author of 27 books; that has to be changed to 29 books.
January is a good time to update your business card and your promotional brochure. This should also be done anytime something changes—you add a service or product, you discontinue a service or product, you get a really great testimonial or you are running low on promotional material and need to reprint.
Don’t allow January to just roll on by. Take advantage of this month of new beginnings and put your promotional arsenal in order.
