Valentine’s Day is just one of hundreds of reasons to promote your book. How many of you used a Valentine’s Day theme in order to pick up a few extra or many additional book sales this year? If my new print version of Catscapades, True Cat Tales was published, I would have been promoting it as a sweet Valentine’s Day gift.
But I haven’t really missed the boat on this great promotional opportunity. First of all, it will be ready in plenty of time for Easter! Also, I know that there will be many, many other seasonal prompts I can use to promote this book throughout the year. Here are a few: Happy Mew Year for cats, Responsible Pet Owner’s Month, Hug Your Cat Day, Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, World Animal Month, Adopt a Senior Pet Month, National Be Kind to Animals Week, Pet Appreciation Week, Take a Pet to Work Week, Sylvester the Cat’s Birthday and even Scoop the Poop Week.
I discovered these and many other fun and serious reasons to celebrate (and to promote) at three different seasonal/holiday sites. (I just found a new one this morning.) Here are some of the other great prompts you can use in promoting your book: National Hugging Day, Thank Your Customer Week, National Ghostwriters Week, Celebrate Your Name Week, National Words Matter Week, If Pets Had Thumbs Day, Read an E-Book Day, Family Reunion Month, Make a Difference to Children Month, National Tooth Fairy Day and Read in the Bathtub Day.
Can you already envision ways that you can use some of these prompts to promote your book? Find more at these sites:
