#1 Book em’!

Books are cool, authors are cool and the Levine Museum of the New South in Charlotte, NC uses that power to get people in the door. Here’s what they do: they invite local authors in for a “talk”… which brings the authors fan base into the museum… and it gives the authors a way to promote themselves. Win/win.

Can you do something like this? Not sure what authors are in your area? Use AI or Google and ask this: book authors in (YOUR LOCATION HERE)

Once you have that list of authors, reach out to them and ask if they want to promote their latest book by having a book talk and signing at your museum. Phrase it like that with the benefit to the author being listed first.

#2 Hey, did you hear that?

How do you make decisions? Do you ever think you should do one thing but you do the opposite? Why is that? Terri Thompson from the Museum at Prairiefire has heard it so watch this short clip and hear what she has to say about it.
