Does any one know where I can order "Signed Copy" or "Autographed" stickers on the internet ? Thanks
A marginally related question: how about bookplates? I've seen a number of author sites offering them, but when I try to find providers online, what I get are the "This book belongs to..." variety, rather than something for author signatures.
Heck, there's a LOT cheaper place than that! Try Earthly Charms. You can get them for about $10 for a roll of 100. Some are even cheaper, and there's a variety of styles. I also recommend their bookmarks and other promo items. Dirt cheap and especially for authors.
Oh, and they do bookplates too.
Try www.vistaprint.com I order the oversized postcards (Look for specials where they offer 50 cards for free; you pay shipping only) and I put three bookmarks on a card (long-ways) = 150 bookmarks for about $6.00. I upload my book cover and then put a brief tag underneath, then a couple of reviews, and then my website and the ISBN. People like bookmarks - they'll grab them even if that's the only thing they take from a signing.
Forgive me if this is tangential, but I've searched as much of the "Book Promotion Ideas and Advice" as I can without going cuckoo and didn't see anything on this particular question.
Does anyone have any info on the best retailers for book signing posters? I'm looking for a short run (not bulk orders). I hired a publicist and she's indicated it'd be best to use 12 X 16 cover art with "Book Signing by..." on it mounted on an easel-backed foam core. Does anyone know of anybody who provides this service at a reasonable (okay, cheap) rate for a limited number of posters? I'd probably only have ten or less signings in the next few months, if that. Has any other small press author done this prior to book signings? If so, how did you approach this? Thanks.
