Ever think of writing a book? I’ve dreamt of writing books my whole life. For whatever reason, I kept thinking of it as a ‘one day’ item. Sure, I’ve written lots of short stories, articles and everything else in between for years (I even won a contest once!). But, it wasn’t until this past June that I seriously considered REALLY doing it. That’s when I met Gail Richards, creator of AuthorSmart.com – just one of an amazing panel of people dedicated to helping people get their dream books out to the world.
Gail puts out a nifty newsletter chock-full of great ideas. I just love how her creative mind works. This week’s newsletter had this great article – Branding Outside the Box (sign up for her newsletter for more great ideas). Use these great ideas for your business, new product, upcoming holidays – get jiggy with it!
Branding Outside of the Box
By Gail Richards, Creator of AuthorSmart.com
Here are some out-of-the-ordinary ways you can put your branding or book cover out into the world to get noticed:
CafePress.com lets you put your branding on a wide variety of items. The best part: you can order one or 100 and order as you need them, no inventory, no risk.You can even create merchandise and link to a shop from your website.
PhotoStamps.com · Put your postage to work for you. For slightly more than the cost of a regular stamp, you can put your own artwork or branding on your mail. Click on the graphic below for more info.
Totally Chocolate · Need I say more?
Jones Soda · This is my personal favorite. This company’s labels are already fantastic—each emblazoned with a photo submitted by a fan. Why not customize your own Jones Soda bottle labels with your book cover?
