Fantastic, Gary. I left a comment.
Excellent article.
I too left a comment which reads:
As Bobby Nash says in his comment, ‘Social marketing takes time, but in the end the benefits outweigh the time spent.’
I agree, but in more ways than one.
My current promo (same publisher as Gary) is leading me (on a smaller scale) into the social media world.
And what a wonderful experience that can be.
Taking a ‘unique selling point’ about my forthcoming book, namely a pair of Newfoundlands dogs, I posted a piece about the breed on my blog including one article about ‘Sergeant’ Gander, the mascot of the Canadian Royal Rifles - a brave canine that was awarded the dog equivalent of the Victoria Cross for its gallant service during the Battle of Lye Mun on Hong Kong Island in December 1941.
The information for my article was sourced from the internet.
Yesterday I received an email from a gentleman in Canada whose father served with the Royal Rifles at Lye Mun and knew Gander personally.
He described the Newfoundland to me - its history, its behaviour, and he detailed the dogs exploits in that battle and the events which led to its death.
By the time I had finished reading, I had tears in my eyes.
Social marketing is rewarding in book sales, but sometimes the returns are far more heart-warming.

That's a lovely comment, Margaret.
