Most businesses are now online. Companies and entrepreneurs invest a lot in putting up websites, SEO services, promotional videos to be uploaded in various social media sites and even online ads. There is certainly nothing wrong with this. Publishing and book marketing should do the same. However, we must never forget one of the most essential marketing tools- the book marketing materials or marketing kit. According to axiomdesigns.com,

“Print marketing encompasses a full range of options for promoting your business to prospective customers. It is a great way to maintain contact with past customers as well so that they continue purchasing goods or services from your business. Further, printed marketing materials such as business cards and brochures allow you to literally place your business information in the hands of customers. Many print materials are tangible items customers can pick up and hold. That’s not something you can do online.”

Bookmarks

Nothing could possibly go wrong with a bunch of well-designed die cuts. The cut and creativity alone attract attention. They can be carried at home, in the library, in school, in workplaces, and wherever people read their books. Bookmarks contain the same information as your other marketing materials, only in smaller texts. However, the purpose of bookmarks doesn’t end there. They can also be used as coupons bearing special offers to your potential buyers. They can also be turned into VIP cards for your more loyal followers and book fans.
