So I'm publishing my first two comic books next month (please, no applause - just check out my facebook page ) Anyway, I've been thinking about how to promote their release and I've spoken with a few people who work in marketing. The first question out of their mouths is always - "Who is your target audience?" and they roll their eyes if I dare say "Everybody!"
Now I understand why advertisers care about the demographics of who is reading/watching a particular show or publication but my books don't have any advertisements and I really do think they can be enjoyed by people of any age, race, religion or gender.
So can anyone out there explain how pre-determining a target audience could ever be of use to a mainstream self-publisher?
