Planning Day

Looking to reach new customers and capture new markets with your book? We can set you up for success.

Before you launch a book, we should talk about the opportunities your book may be missing.

​

Launching a book is a direct reflection of your brand. The book cover, the content, how it is marketed, the media attention, and the availability of the book in the right retail locations are just some of the considerations when launching a book.

 

Unifying and amplifying your business voice, your PR, your websites, landing pages, lead nurturing systems, newsletters, TV and Radio presence and more are also required.

 

From a 30,000-foot view, we identify the gaps, flaws, and holes in both the branding of the book and the associated revenue streams while identifying unique traits and offerings that allow the book to stand out in the crowded marketplace.

 

We work with you from the top down to see every aspect of your campaign objectives and connect them together in ways you’ve never thought of before.

 

In our signature Strategic Author Workshop, we deliver one day’s worth of omni-channel author platform planning and introduce you to an overarching marketing strategy, timeline, execution plan, and budget for you and your team, and your publisher to implement.

 

During the Planning Day, YOU can choose to focus on any combination of elements:

​

Your Planning Day Includes:

  • ​Bestseller Campaign Launch Plan

  • Publisher & Retailer Support Plan

  • Pre-Sell Options Document

  • Media Target List

  • Network Activation Plan

  • Book Branding Media Topics

  • Visual Book Branding Recommendations

  • Book Marketing Assets in a Dropbox

  • Book Landing Page Wireframe

  • Launch Checklist for your Book Team 

  • Additive Book Promotion Reccomendations

By the end, we'll have created both a comprehensive plan as well as a tactical roadmap for implementation on a campaign-by-campaign basis.

After a Strategic Author Workshop our clients have gone on to hit multiple bestseller lists, sell thousands of books, and have been invited to speak on some of the largest stages in the world.
