I’ve been making strides recently to be a better self-promoter. I’m still not on Facebook, but hey, I’ve been on Twitter for a while… and now I’ve got bookmarks! OK, bookmarks are as old-timey a promotional item as possible and not “social” in any way, shape, or form… but I’ve had good luck in the past using them as promo items (I did a pre-release Midnight Sun bookmark with the Diamond order code in it) and so I’ve done another batch in advance of convention season to promote my ongoing webcomic, Oyster War.
I actually think bookmarks are a pretty good freebie item–mainly because they’re actually useful. I’ve picked up tons of stuff off the “freebie table” at places like SPX for example, but I sure don’t have a single one of those things around any more. On the other hand, the book I’m reading right now is marked with a Garfield bookmark that I’d date (based on the non-bubbly way Garfield’s drawn) at maybe the early 80s. At any rate, here’s what the finished product looks like:
And here’s some (non-blurry) pics of the graphics, front and back:
I’ll have a pile of these with me at conventions this year, so please stop by my booth and grab a few. I’ll for sure be at TCAF in Toronto and HeroesCon in Charlotte–and maybe SPX and/or San Diego.
If you’re not going to be at a convention I’m at: I’m mailing these out to people who want them, 100% for free. I’ll put 2-3 in an envelope… whatever I can get away with for one stamp. If you want one, email me at the address up top in this site’s header image or DM me on Twitter with your mailing address and I’m happy to send you a few!
