The Buck Starts Here
How to Sell More Books in Large Quantities-- Non-Returnable

The opportunity for selling books to non-bookstore buyers is twice that for selling through bookstores. And you can sell books non-returnable. In other words, you can double your sales, revenue and profits – if you know what to do and how to do it. You will, after attending this webinar. Brian Jud has been selling his and his clients’ books to non-traditional buyers for over 30 years and will share his tips with you. Here are some of the topics he will discuss:

Benefits of selling to non-traditional segments
How to prepare for selling in non-bookstore markets
Tips for selling into the retail segments
How to tap into the academic market
How to sell fiction in ways and places you never thought of
New ways to sell in large quantities to buyers in corporations, associations and the military
Where to find the names of prospective buyers and how to contact them

It all happens starting at 6pm on Wednesday, January 7th.

While we meet at the library, the RWG is neither endorsed by, nor affiliated, with the library.
