Marketing

Books

Benchmark Press will promote your book through a variety of avenues including:

Direct fax a media release to over 200 media outlets in Saskatchewan
Direct fax a media release to 330 bookstores and libraries in Saskatchewan promoting the release of your upcoming book
A book outline, sample pages and an author’s bio will appear on Benchmark Press’ website
We’ll submit your books to on-line bookstores including Amazon.ca
We’ll sell your book through Benchmark Press’ on-line bookstore
Your book will be placed on Google’s searchable database with links to Benchmark Press’ Bookstore
For an additional fee, we will create a website to promote only your book(s)

You will also receive a copy of our most current Saskatchewan Media Directory, so that you can contact media outlets to further promote your upcoming book.

With Benchmark Press’ Bookstore you will always know when new orders come in and who is purchasing your books. All orders received through Benchmark Press’ Bookstore will be immediately forwarded to your email account, so that you can get your books out to your customers quickly, while learning more about your target audience and building your own customer database.

If you decide to produce a book that is for personal-use only, such as a family history or a Masters thesis, you can opt out of Benchmark Press’ marketing strategy. This will save you money and ensure that you decide who owns a copy of your personal work.

You can also save money by marketing the book yourself. By taking the time to create your own media releases, posters and talking with bookstores, you can successfully market your work. You may also want to set up a booth at your local trade show to display and potentially sell your books.
