Thinking Inside the Box: Building Creative Book Boxes for Promo and Merch Sales

Imagine a reader excited for their mail. Imagine their smile when they receive the book box they've ordered. Imagine when they open the box, there is YOUR book and the merch you've selected to make it a real experience. And that experience is so great, it turns them into a super fan. And them hitting buy now on your next box is a given.

Join us on this webinar to learn how to design, price, and ship book boxes with merch to boost sales or promos. From the logistics of designing the box and how to choose/source/make the products that go into it, Jenn Lessman will also show you how to set pricing and think about considerations for postage and delivery costs.

The Zoom link will be sent to you upon registration.
