MAKE PRINT WORK HARDER

Connect Your Printed Materials to Your Marketing

QR codes and event information can help turn a printed piece into a bridge between an in-person interaction and your online book marketing.

Bookmarks

Your bookmarks already include a QR code that readers can scan to visit your book webpage.

Small Posters

Small posters can include your event details and QR code, making them especially useful for promoting signings and appearances in advance.

Large Posters

Large posters normally showcase your book cover, but event information, a QR code or both can be added when you want the poster customized for an appearance.
