Navigating Indieworld Discussing All Things Indie discussion

I sent out the flyer from the Miami Book Fair to bookstores on a mailing list out West. I have noticed my distribution sales have doubled from last month. Best they've been for months. Has anybody else noticed that?
I noticed I had some Createspace distribution and the ones that doubled was Ingramsparks.

Thanks, Alex, but some of those places took electronic books as well.

I haven’t sold anything since I bought the books for the book fair.

Keep an eye out on it. I am sending out over a thousand flyers across the country to bookstores and libraries.

Thank you so much for that.

You're welcome!

Starting with a thousand- We are doing it slowly about two hundred a week. Then I have another mailing list of about 1200 that I will roll out all spring.

Wow! Thank you, Carole

Thanks, Carole! I haven't noticed any distribution sales yet, but if I do, I'll let you know!

Something interesting going on- I have restarted sending out mailers to bookstores all over the USA- and my mass distribution sales are increasing over the last month. There are days I'm selling between 16-25 children's' paperbacks. I am using the Miami Book Fair Flyer with the authors io that list. Has anyone else on that flyer noticed an uptick?

Sadly, I didn't give you anything for the Miami Book Fair. I was just swamped, far, far too busy. Sigh. But it is so good to be part of a group that works for each other.

Hopefully, you'll be able to do it for the next year!

Thank you. I keep hoping not to be quite so busy.

Can't remember if I was on it, but I haven't noticed anything. I think maybe I wasn't on it.

It was the people who participated in the Miami Book Fair. I purchased a mailing list for books stores around the US. Each month I send out about 200 flyers. I noticed an uptick in mass distribution sales finally last month.

You know me, I don't sell books other than the ones we buy. But I did see 7 of one and 5 of the other sell via Ingram in the last 30 days.

Thanks Alex. I'm happy for any sale and have to smile at every one of them as they're few and far between. I sold something in Italy, apparently!

That's terific, DJ! May they continue!
