School Library Marketing

$5,899.00

Since school libraries will never run out of growing minds, its librarians will never get tired of looking for fresh books too. There will always be space for bestsellers, classic reprints, and even self-published books like yours! So we’ve partnered with Baker & Taylor and School Library Journal to create an advertising service that should help you pique the interest of school librarians—our School Library Marketing service.

With this service, you get:

• Indie Press Featured Titles E-blast Ad – Together with other similar titles, your book will be promoted in an e-blast that's sent to the 20,000 librarians subscribed to Baker & Taylor’s monthly email list, Indie Press Featured Titles.

• Emerging Voices Microsite Ad - This microsite was created by Baker & Taylor to address the need for a trusted source for key decision makers who are always on the lookout for new titles. Your book will be featured for two weeks on the front page of the microsite. After this, the ad will be transferred to other pages on the site under their corresponding categories. Your book will be advertised on the site for a total of three months.

• Baker & Taylor TS360 Homepage Banner (1 out of 4) - Your book, alongside three other titles will be on display for two weeks in Baker & Taylor's TS360, a web-based ordering platform that allows customers and libraries to purchase print and digital titles.
