Marketing Communications Services
Offered by Kathleen Kaiser & Associates
We work with writers to achieve their goals when publishing a book.
Our Full Service Campaigns last six months at the minimum and start once an edited copy of the manuscript is available for advance reviews. We prefer to start at least four months before the release date. Then we work through the release and follow up with additional sales and publicity opportunities over the next two months or more.
We are now offering Individual Author Services as an option for writers with limited budgets. This a la carte method supplements whatever marketing campaign an author is running by themselves.

Selling books is about getting your beautiful cover out in front of as many eyes as possible of people who read your genre of book. The best news is that online advertising is budget-friendly. We will help you set your budget, then test to see the results before over-committing to a platform. Each of these outlets is unique in its needs, but they can all work together to get the most visibility for your book. We have put in the time, not only researching but also putting what we've learned into practice for clients. We will review your Amazon book page and Author Central so that it has a dynamic description that grabs attention from potential readers. Amazon Sponsored ads on Amazon can boost your book to the top of a search page or the lock screens of people's Kindles.

But did you know they also have advertising? Advertising on Goodreads is another proven way to get your book in front of the eyes of readers who value a well-written book.

Validation from contests helps with sales long term. Having "Award-Winning Book" on the cover boosts prospective readers’ confidence when purchasing your book. But contests can be confusing to enter. We are here to help by taking the guesswork out of entering. We've been helping our clients enter contests for years. Using this service takes the anxiety out of not knowing if you've done it right. What you get with our book contest service:

Don’t submit without a media kit! A media kit, also called a sales sheet, is one of the best and most important tools to include when submitting a book for review, for a potential interview, and to get a book signing. There are many places to use this tool, yet too many self-published authors skip this critical step. What is in a media kit?
Let us help by writing a dynamic description of the plot, pulling the interesting facts about the author for a bio, and designing it all on one sheet. View this link for samples. Turnaround time is three weeks once all material is submitted. You will receive a .pdf version for printing to be sent with books for review or attached to an interview request, and a .jpg version for your website and social media. Price for this service is $500. eBook Promotions
Let’s target all those eBook readers! Placing your book in front of targeted readers is the best way to make sales. eBook promotions are an essential marketing tool to get your book sales up and into the hands of readers everywhere. Our eBook marketing strategy can help you do that. We've tested lists and found the ones that produce the best, with the broadest readership bases. Get your book out in front of the folks who will want to read your story! In 2020, eBook sales were up 22% over previous years. It might seem like a market that doesn't need attention.

Many of you know BookBub, the eBook promotion 500-pound gorilla.
