April 1998 - (Golden, CO) - The motto "better luck next time" doesn't apply to book publishers. A book only gets one publication date. If a publisher doesn't carefully plan for the promotion of each book, it will end up with thousands of books each year that don't sell. MarketAbility, Inc. announces the release of the only step-by-step book publicity and promotion system available for book publishers, MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing System: Publicity and Promotion Blueprint for Book Publishers.

Unlike books on self publishing that simply list what to do and when to do it, MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing System leads publishers through a guess-free, step-by-step promotion process. Complete with a targeted database of book clubs, pre-publication reviewers and mainstream media targeted for each publisher's selected topic, the blueprint comes in an information-packed 3-ring binder. Tabs, pockets and disk holders get the promotional campaign organized in a flash, and help the publisher keep it that way! Easy-to-complete worksheets lead the publisher through selecting databases, Internet searches, media follow-up and more. For more information call MarketAbility at (303) 279-4349 or toll free at 1-888-55-TWIST.

"Small publishers often have more time than money, yet want to get maximum exposure for their books. They need access to the same techniques that professional public relations firms follow," says Kim Dushinski partner at MarketAbility and co-creator of the system. "MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing System helps publishers who need the expertise of a publicity firm who would charge $10,000 - $20,000 to plan and implement a campaign, but can't afford or choose not to hire one."

"MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing System helps mid-sized publishers when they've grown just enough to hire a publicist, but want to keep more control over their promotions," adds Tami DePalma, cohort and business partner of Dushinski. "I don't think Random House or Simon and Schuster will ever buy copies for their publicists, but you never know."

MAXIMUM EXPOSURE Marketing System is available by calling (303) 279-4349 or toll free at 1-888-55-TWIST. Cost to license for one title is $1200 and includes an up-to-date database of up to 300 targeted mainstream media contacts, plus book clubs and pre-publication reviewers. An upgrade including a complete database of over 19,000 media contacts is only $1495. Additonal licenses per title are $225 each.
