Where to Sell A Coffee Table Book
If you’ve decided to sell your coffee table book, you may be wondering where to start. Whether you’re looking to sell copies to a large audience quickly or are open to long term, slow growth sales, here are a few options to consider.
Retailers
- Bookstores — Selling your book in bookstores is a great option for authors looking for long-term book sales. Local, independent stores are a great place to start as they are often open to stocking books by local authors.
- Online Retailers — Sites like Amazon and eBay are great options for authors to quickly get their books into the hands of a large audience. Many of these sites also have partner programs that allow authors to earn residual income from their books.
- Antique Shops — If your coffee table book is particularly special, consider selling it in an antique shop. It’s unlikely you’ll get a large volume of sales, but there is a possibility that you may found a passionate collector willing to pay top dollar for your book.
Direct to Customer
- Personal Website — Setting up an online storefront for your books on your personal website is a great way to connect with readers and control the pricing and distribution of your books.
- Social Media Promotion — Using social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to promote your book can be an effective way to get it in front of an audience. With the help of influencers and friends, your book could quickly get exposure and potentially lead to book sales.
- Word of Mouth — Don’t underestimate the power of word of mouth. Consider having a few copies of your coffee table book stocked at a local cafe, coffee shop or library and ask staff to spread the word.
Conclusion
No matter where you decide to sell your coffee table book, the most important thing is to get it out there and share it with your readers. With the right combination of these options, your book may just become a favorite for many coffee-table book fans!
