Marketing and Exploding Cows

If you haven't already seen this on YouTube, go ahead and click over there and then hop back.

Silly? Sure. But if there was a book title mentioned, you'd probably remember it, right?

Maybe my book isn't about The Secret Life of Cows, but I still have to fine tune my promo plan. I want my book title to be planted in your memory long enough for you to get to the book store or place that Amazon order :)

I've been thinking a lot about marketing. Sure Remains doesn't come out until December but I'm hard at work at the PR end of things. I've already booked a couple signings, booked myself to give a workshop at a big conference this fall and sent out a newsletter to booksellers. I'm thinking of contests too.

So, first of all, did you enjoy the exploding cows? Secondly, if I exploded things for promo, do ya think I'd sell more books?

I'm just super curious what you might explode. ;)

I guess cows are already taken. I suppose I could try giving out exploding bookmarks. Might destory the books though. Not to mention the law suits ... Obviously I need to give this more thought LOL
