I recently had a book release, but it is only in eBook format. This makes a lot of the old hoofing it methods harder to do, because I don't have a hard copy to show. For the last few months I've been trying to figure out how I can get the word spread offline as well as online. Finally, I just fell into a bookmark idea for now.
I ordered a small pile of bookmarks that advertise my book. As they just come in today I haven't gotten around the towns with them yet. I am planning on asking at the public libraries if I can place a few for people to take as a free place keeper. I was also thinking of hitting the bookstores.
My question is this: Has anyone else tried the bookmark method?
Side note, I've also thought about the "rack cards" you can find at places like Vistaprint. There is a Barns and Noble in the next county over and sense my book will be available for the Nook once distribution is finished I thought about seeing if I could place a few rack cards with the book blurb and cover in the store.
