Marketing Basics
It takes an experienced and coordinated team to create a professionally produced book. GCG’s team includes your Publishing Consultant, Project Manager, Pre-press Technician, Press Operators, Bindery Specialists and Shipping Managers. We work with you in a coordinated process to make sure that the book you envisioned is the book you receive.
Smart authors use a combination of online and offline marketing materials. Print material such as postcards, author’s business cards, bookmarks, fliers, posters and save the date reminders are all ways that you can drive potential readers to your website and the bookstores that carry your book. Ask your GCG Publishing Consultant or your Project Manager to send you our Marketing Your Book brochure for more information on print options to support your online sales efforts
