Guest Writer Spot

It’s Friday and time for my Guest Writer Spot. If you’d like your writing to appear on this page, please contact me here or by e-mail: esthernewtoneditor@outlook.com. I accept stories, poems, articles – in fact, anything and everything. All you have to do is make sure your prose is no longer than 2000 words and your poems no more than 40 lines.

This week’s Guest Writer is author, Brenda Scruggs. Here, she writes about her innovative marketing idea:

Thinking Outside the Box!

–

Well maybe, inside the box. For an author, marketing is something we are

continually working on. I enjoy finding blogs that think outside the box

on promoting. I’ve promoted on blogs, been featured in interviews, social

media and so forth.

But today, I am trying something new, thinking outside the box by

broadcasting my work inside the box, that is putting my work inside a

(box) frame of a car magnet. Yes, a car magnet. God can give us witty

inventions, so I’m trying one.

My husband works in a Metropolitan, driving almost an hour a day to work

on a major interstate. Yeah, we love the country life. So, I got this

idea.

He is on a super busy interstate twice a day, why not advertise my book

with a car magnet. It would be seen by almost a hundred people a day, if

not more.

Even if, you don’t travel a major interstate, I believe it would still

promote your work in everyday travel (I ordered one for my car also) and

would be a plus when you went on vacation. Just make sure that you have

a few copies of your book with you. Who knows you might just sell them. This

is my short tidbit on thinking outside the box with book promotions.

Happy traveling,

Brenda Scruggs
