Tell them how successful your previous events at other B&amp;N stores were.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The best way to get people to the events (don't just have book signings; do a reading or talk) is to work with the store to get media interviews and short notices. Also invite people who have signed up at your website for more information on your events.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Postcards are fine if you have a good list, but probably too expensive for the return on your investment. If you mail out 1,000 or 10,000 postcards for one event, you'd have to sell a ton of books to make the mailing pay off.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10284418/148728136288285777/comments/default/7735212047927107189'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10284418/148728136288285777/comments/default/7735212047927107189'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.bookmarket.com/2007/08/book-signings-are-your-best-friends.html?showComment=1189569960000#c7735212047927107189' title=''/><author><name>John Kremer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16486115512048790419</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17360528271462551900'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.bookmarket.com/2007/08/book-signings-are-your-best-friends.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-148728136288285777' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/10284418/posts/default/148728136288285777' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-4291790517909758058</id><published>2007-09-11T19:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-11T19:50:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Thanks for the article on Book Signings.

How should I approach other Barnes &amp; Nobles to do book signings there and whats the best way to get people to the book signings. I plan on sending out about 10,000 post cards.
