| Sue, Depending which bookseller is hosting your signing, they may or may not provide a poster. I arranged some book signings to coincide with a holiday in the US. Barnes and Noble provided posters. Waldenbooks provided small A4 size notices, and Shelagh, designed three posters for me! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| Hey Sue - great to see your picture on here! I have used postcards (5x8 inches) and also bookmarks and business cards. Although I initially printed stuff at home (especially the business cards and bookmarks), because I was in a big hurry, I liked the results that came from a print shop because the colours were nice and rich and the cost was pretty reasonable (plus, to be honest, when I did the bookmarks at home, I ended up with a dining room full of mess, two papercuts and one grouchy dog that was getting fed kind of late...). |

| Just tell him that he does it because he loves you. And he's well paid...in cookies of course, so no grouching allowed. |

| Vista Print is pretty good for postcards. If you do a minimum order and then wait about a week, you will start to get free promo offers. Use those to get 100-250 postcards for free - you just have to pay the cost of shipping.
Just print flyers via your own file at Kinkos or Office Depot (Office Depot is cheaper then Kinkos right now).
Big flyers only cost a dollar if you print them on 11 x 17; if you need to go bigger costs ramp up very fast. |

| Talking of Vistaprint, I like to do the oversized postcards. I'm off topic for signing publicity.
I buy Pat Rouse's readers group list. If you haven't heard of Pat Rouse, her list is $75 for a year's membership which entitles you to quarterly updates.
I have Vistaprint send a batch of 50 (nice, custom) oversized postcards directly to the groups that have over 35 readers and are run by a bookstore.
Best wishes, Rowena Cherry |

| Yes, VistaPrints oversize cards are nice. They have been running deals all spring for 250 regular size cards for $20 (including shipping) and 100 oversize for $20. |
