I Value Your Opinion
I’m researching the most popular reasons people buy books. How do you choose a book? There are only two questions in this short survey. HERE’S THE LINK:
The reason I ask is to find out where to better focus my marketing efforts and dollars. Thanks for taking a minute out of your day to share your opinions with me.
A Good Day in Elysian
Sunday, July 3rd, I participated in the Elysian 4th of July Flea Market for the first time. I went in with an open mind and low expectations because Elysian’s a small town. But I have to say, the Elysianites(?) LOVE their books because I had an excellent sales day. The event ran smoothly and the wind cooperated so my canopy tent didn’t blow away down the street (because I forgot my weights to hold it down!!)
Thanks to all the new customers and (hopefully, fans) I met there.
