Clothing Store: See It’s Hit Or Miss So All The Best With That
admin 
Online retailers are salivating over technology really like this, that may well enable them to win more customers. On yet ANOTHER hand, the possibilities are endless. So here is the question. Jill author, or a Banana Republic author? You think book signings in clothing retail outlets might work for romance authors, right? Old Navy author or a Hot Topic author? Should you go to this book signing -or a book signing at a clothing store? For Romance authors that’s a big NO! NO! NO! Furthermore, all the best with that, it’s hit or miss. NYT bestselling author Mary Jane Clark is will be signing books at a Manhattan outpost of Coldwater Creek, a women’s clothing store that caters to a rather upscale audience above the age of 35Have a look at the email graphic. Basically, in the inbox this morning. On one hand, if the marketing arrangement matches the audience of an author to a specific store or clothing style, that could have been a win/win for the store and the author. That said, as long as And so it’s a strange extension of author branding, now this lights a fire under my synapses for a host of reasons. For a $ 50 purchase, shoppers get a copy of the book, and the author is there to sign it. Identifying a clothing store could address only a narrow portion of an audience.
Marketing needs to be creative, and targeted.
The costumes attracted attention, and our brief stories about our heroines sold loads of books to those who came over to our table and asked who we were supposed to be.
We gave talks in hotel lobbies in old mining towns, and in the homes of people who had reading groups, We covered lots of places, including bookstores, museums, old west events. Anyways, probably not sales, our ruffles and lace I was thinking that as I was driving this morning. Have you heard of something like this before? Except romances -and that gives us a LOT to talk about -but I don’t know we could go shopping gether at similar places, I have often a very little similar with many women on this site!
I’m tally a thrift store author, like the other Jody.
Problem is, not many people thrift $ 50 stuff worth at a pop.
We’d have to lower the price to $ 20 stuff worth, and I could sit at a wicker coffeetable with a cracked glass p that cost $ 19 dot 95 and on a couch with really big flowers that cost $ 49. Probably also tell people where the bathrooms are. On p of this, the author that first popped into my head was Barbara O’Neal. It might even work in reverse. Plenty of her titles are ideal to attract foodies. Rack of her books in someplace like a ‘Williams Sonoma’ a certain amount their light red salt after reading The Secret of Everything.

I’d say in case she had a book signing there it might attract readers who would become WilliamsSonoma customers. Now, a rack of her books in someplace like a ‘Williams Sonoma’ should be someplace like Penzey’s Spices. As a result, everything else seems kind of odd to me. Although, I don’t like the idea of authers combined with clothing stores. By the way I don’t think I enjoy the idea of authors being linked to specific corporations, maybe for folks like Tim Gunn as Jewel mentioned and I understand Paula Deen at ‘WilliamsSonoma’. Clothing stores, I love the idea of book signings at libraries. Kind of jumbles the idea of why we become writers primarily. Yes, that’s right! Again, By the way I have no right to speak for others so let that just be my own preference. I’m sure you heard about this. With should an author wish to host one. It seems Clark’s signings are mostly at libraries after the Coldwater Creek signing.
I also think Surely it’s weird that she is essentially charging for an autograph. Can you bring in your copy w/o having to buy something there and still get it signed, technically the cost is to get the book. Beside us is a small table and a bunch of books. Eventually, I know it’s our first book signing, and we DO NOT seek for to go to the premises with really similar pile of books. We watch people walk by and do a double take, and loads of them come into the store, where we feed them tidbits of information about our heroines of the old west to get them to pick up a book and, we hope, buy it. With all that said… Whenever matching long sleeved fittedwaist high necked almost white blouse with lace, prim blueish hat and gold rimmed spectacles is standing next to my 6′ foot tall coauthor, decked out in ruffles and lace and feathers, big hair and three hat feet at the front of a store, a few feet from the door, my 5′ tall self, in navy ankle length navy blueish skirt with petticoats.

Considering the above said. It doesn’t work for me, it DOES sound like some marketing person’s idea of a great idea. Seriously. Because you are limiting your market in a weird way pay a ransom to get a $ 20 book, on the basis of my experience, Mary Jane Clark’s idea of planning to a place and offering an inducement to get a signed copy of a book seems off? Then, I should rather just buy the book than try to define $ 50 stuff worth to buy at a store I never shop in, if I were a big fan of hers.
