ArmchairBEA, Advertising Discount, Let's Discuss Genres

Published: Tue, 05/06/14

First of all I want to thank all the authors that took part in
our Mother's Day Flash sale on advertising, our home page has
never looked better! Did you notice that every time you visit the
page the covers have rotated to a new position? There isn't
a bad spot on the page. In addition to the home page spots, every
book has a dedicated featured book page, and is getting social
media attention throughout the week. I know I found several books
to add to my own TBR list from this week's ads.

One thing we like to do is occasionally surprise our advertisers
with an unannounced bonus. Like for the folks that bought a slot
in our Book Buyers Guide, we offered an extra slot free. And if you
advertised in a prior guide we gave a free listing in the NEW guide
plus a huge discount for extra books.

For the Mother's Day special, we went and randomly selected a bunch
of ads to run for an extra week, you paid for one week and will get
two. But we aren't telling you who! Check back next Monday and see
if your ad is still live, and that means you got an extra bonus
week. No, I won't look up if you got one, that takes time and it
was a random draw just to give advertisers and extra incentive
to think about us in the future.

Now for some fun!!! Have you ever wanted to go to Book Expo America
to meet authors and book bloggers? But it is too expensive or you
can't be away from home for a week? Well you now have a chance to
participate from home. You can register as a participant, be a
sponsor - give your books to book bloggers. You can network from
your desk. I talked to one of the many founders - Danielle Smith -
on our BookGoodies Podcast, have a listen to hear all the fun things
you can do:
