The Sweet Sixteen is upon us. College basketball junkies glued to their TV sets, collaborating in sports bars and monitoring game stats via Twitter @ESPN.  All of this March Madness excitement got me thinking about how authors might be able to join in the celebration.  So we’re getting a little crazy here at Infinity Publishing and announcing Book Marketing Madness for authors!  What better time to rollout new marketing programs?    

We’ve got everything from new marketing materials publicity kits, to 50% OFF a  marketing consultation (and it includes a personalized marketing plan), and a book fair service that is so budget friendly we’ll take your book to London for only $275.   Let’s take a look at the insanity…  

Book Marketing Consultation and Strategy50% OFF through March 31, 2012.

Having a solid marketing plan will help an author sell more books.  No doubt about it.  Of course, the author should actually be following through with what is in their plan, but I digress.  If you’re an author on a budget, having an organized strategy, is even more critical to your book marketing success, both short and long-term. We’ve done our research, taken feedback from our authors and have designed a program that is budget-conscious and provides an incredible value.   

The service is customized and includes a personalized marketing plan with both, DIY (do-it-yourself) recommendations and other marketing and/or PR services that are the right fit for your title.  Every plan is completely tailored to the author’s goals and budget…even if you don’t have a budget.  It includes a one (1) hour consultation, 30 Day Marketing Calendar, Personalized Marketing Plan, Guest Blogging Invite and a Free Marketing Guide Book.

All aboard for the London Book Fair!  $275 will take your book across the Atlantic.

I’m a huge fan of Book Fairs because:

  • Book fairs are inexpensive

  • Provide long-term marketing exposure

  • Reach book buyers and media, both domestically and internationally

  • Incredible value for the investment

  • Two years of exposure

We hope that you’ll get a little crazy and join us in celebrating our Book Marketing Madness.  To all of the college basketball teams making their way to the Final Four…best of luck!
