We can help you create traditional promotional tools such as giveaways and Collector’s packets. We’ll show you how to develop your own list of bookstores that love to sell your books.  

 

How about setting up an online store featuring mugs and aprons emblazoned with your series logo? And speaking of logos, we can help you design one as we did for Jayne Ann Krentz’s Arcane Society series and Stella Cameron’s new Court of Angels series.

 

Purple Papaya is here to help you:

 

     * Create an online presence that builds relationships with your readers

     * Drive traffic to your website

     * Market your work to booksellers and readers

     * Develop promotional or collector's packets to use as giveaways

     * Design a logo to brand you or your book series

     * Manage online sweepstakes

     * Advertise your current book release

     * Build an online shop to showcase your logo

 

We offer a personalized approach to meet your budget and your needs.  Our team works to complement, not replace, the marketing you receive from your publisher. 

 

We have introduced clients to the world of social networking by creating easy to access and manage Reader Communities and helping writers build their online Fan Base.  We are also here to help you out along the way by working with you to create a schedule of regular posts to keep your readers interested and engaged throughout the year.  Check out the Facebook Page we put together for Jayne Ann Krentz.

 

Promotional Packets have been a fun way for us to help our clients with book sales.  We've worked with authors to create packets of materials (including limited edition collectible cards) that were distributed with new book purchases through participating bookstores.  The packets have proven to be quite popular with readers and booksellers.

 

Online advertising is a great way to build your brand.  We write your ads and target them to your reader demographic.  Want to advertise an appearance?  No problem.  We can target your ads to specific locations, too!

 

We have built relationships with several specialty printers and we are able to help you print bookplates, postcards, stickers, bookmarks, and more.
