Turning a Personal Book Marketing Plan Into Recognition Marketing

By Roberto Juarez


I've noticed book trends come and go, such as prequels following sequels. Book authors utilized to market place their operate 4 methods: price, spot, and unique promotions. But the Internet has changed this method. Name recognition has evolved into something referred to as Recognition Marketing and advertising. Today's book buyers search the Net for what they want and they want rapidly results. If they don't get rapid outcomes, they move on to yet another website. David Miranda describes this promoting shift in his post, "The New five Cs for Profitable Marketing and advertising," posted on the Recognition Marketing web page. According to Miranda,

Recognition Marketing has give components: Consumers, Context, Convenience, Convergence, and Community. Ever because I read his article, I've thought about adapting my personal book advertising strategy to fit these components. Shoppers. Just like the housing sector, the publishing business has develop into a buyers' industry. Publishers maintain this in mind when reviewing manuscripts. You may perhaps write for the sports niche, for example, and have an concept of what buyers want. Though you're writing you keep these wants in thoughts.

Context. Target advertising is the focus of context. Your publisher may advertise your books on web pages, in electronic newsletters, and print newsletters. To expand this context, you may well write for specialized internet sites and print publications.. Convenience. An growing quantity of consumers are reading books on electronic devices. If you are a published author, ask the publisher about formatting your book for the Kindle or the Nook. The price of formatting depends on the word count.

Convergence. This is a a single-word description of the blending of media and distribution channels. Amelia Kassel, of MarketingBASE, an info brokerage, presents convergence suggestions in her Information Currently article, "How to Write a Advertising and marketing Program." Her suggestions: individual/electronic marketing and advertising, direct advertising, print advertising, public speaking, publicity releases, and trade shows. "The potential to develop and implement each and every of the above techniques demands finding out and honing new abilities," she notes.

Community. This term refers mainly to social networking. When I believe of community I think of the resources in my city--churches, colleges, service organizations, and volunteer groups.
