Types Of Book Marketing & Publicity Campaigns And Consulting Services

Comprehensive Campaigns:

Retainer-based book PR programs are typically three months, but time frames can be modified for specific projects. Comprehensive campaigns target traditional and online media — TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, news websites, blogs, and podcasts – as the name implies. Our publicists handle all media relations, book requests, scheduling, etc., and report their activities weekly.

Non-Fiction Book Promotion:

Smith’s nonfiction book publicity campaigns are uniquely designed to leverage awareness for both a book and the author/expert’s profile and brand. We take a two-pronged approach, pitching mainstream/consumer media (online/digital news outlets; broadcast—podcast, TV, radio; print; bloggers/influencers) and audience-specific/industry media to introduce the key concepts from both the book and the expert’s message with the goal of securing earned editorial coverage within outlets that resonate with their audience. Through strategic thought-leadership positioning—podcast interviews, guest contributor pieces, byline articles, and expert commentary, the book, in many ways, serves as our client’s business card, reinforcing their message and driving attention back to their business and brand. Within our highly collaborative non-fiction book publicity campaigns, we aim to not only support the launch of the book but highlight the endurance of our client’s impact on their industry/community long past publication date.

 

 

 

Fiction Book Publicity:

The focus of Smith’s fiction campaigns is to build buzz and awareness surrounding the launch of an author’s book and author brand through outreach to select traditional media, book bloggers, online book reviewers, and genre-influencers like bookstagrammers and booktokers. When working together, we craft tailored introductory hooks that quickly identify why themes and concepts in the client’s book and/or elements of their author background or message will be of interest to their readers and audiences. Coverage for fiction can come in the form of book reviews/recommendations/excerpts, feature stories, author Q&As + interviews, blog mentions/posts, articles, and/or virtual opportunities.

Single-Focus Book Marketing Pushes:

In some cases, authors or publishers need concentrated media and influencer outreach focused on major book events – signings, speeches, awards, re-releases, etc. Smith Publicity can design and implement an aggressive array of marketing tactics to maximize and amplify the positive effects of special events.

Consulting Services:

In conjunction with many book PR campaign, we provide essential consulting services. In advance of the release of a book or after release, we help authors develop powerful platforms to enhance book marketing campaigns, including website reviews, the development of non-publicity marketing plans, social media guidance, consistent branding across all areas, graphic design services, and much more.

Costs:

Campaign fees are range from $12,000 to $30,000 or more depending on project scope and elements, with flexibility for targeted strategies.
