Planning Your Holiday Campaign for Maximum Impact
The holiday season is just upon us and it is time for authors to gear up for their holiday season campaigns. If you have an existing book or if your book is going to be launched soon, the holiday season is the prime time for you to promote it and garner as many new readers as possible. Promoting a book is never easy, but when the time is right, you can make the best of what is available and gain maximum benefit from it. With Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year just around the corner, you can push your book forward quite easily.
Here are some Holiday Campaign tips that can help you create maximum opportunities to increase sales of your book.
Plan Ahead of Time
The key to a successful Holiday Campaign is to plan your campaign ahead of time and make sure that you give yourself enough time to execute it properly. You should begin with planning the dates or events that you want to pursue. For example, you can promote your book for Cyber Monday sales or Black Friday sales, but you also have the option for Christmas sales, New Year’s sales and much more. It is up to you to decide which of these dates would be the most beneficial for you. If you want to solely focus on ebook promotions, then Cyber Monday and Black Friday are your best options.
Ebook Promotions Are Easier
Many authors go for ebook promotions these days because they are a quick and easy way to raise awareness about their books and make sure that they get maximum impact for their work. And because of this, these promotional opportunities get picked up fairly quickly. You need to be quick and efficient when it comes to choosing your platform. You can choose Kindle, Kobo and Barnes and Nobles as your main platforms.
Plan Your Social Media Promotions Before Time
When the holiday season is in full swing, you will not be able to pay attention to your social media promotions as much. Planning ahead of time will help immensely and you will be able to give your complete focus to more important things. So instead of creating your images and writing your social media posts on the day of promotion, start early. Start teasing your sale and the books that you will be putting on sale ahead of time as well.
There are some more things that you can use to amp up your chances of a successful holiday season promotion. Plan a giveaway on your social media accounts to increase your visibility, stock up on copies, make sure that the store on your website is up and running before the season begins and be prepared at all times.
These are little things, but they can have a major impact on your book sales this holiday season. By executing them the right way, you can gain so much more. These can give your book a boost and basically bring it front and center so that you get maximum visibility this holiday season.
