Book Publishing Tips of the Day
Daily words of wisdom from Tami DePalma and other publishing industry experts. Throughout the month of May we'll feature tips on taking full advantage of the BookExpo America trade show. Today's Tip from DePalma: "Create a Theme."
MARKETING TIP OF THE DAYTHEME: MEDIA KIT DESIGN
Be Relevant! Create a theme throughout your media kit. If you include a gimmick, make sure it ties into your headline and the concept of your entire media kit. Your desired response is "Oh, I get it!" NOT "What the . . . ?"

" The Spanish Pavilion."
A 6,000 square foot Spanish Pavilion will be set aside and clearly visible to all convention goers. The area will be reserved for only Spanish language exhibitors so that they might meet in a more closed environment with their customers. Multilingual banners on entrance units will insure that people are aware of the pavilion's presence. An overhead banner will include the flags of participating countries.
In addition, the Instituto Cervantes, an international organization created in 1991 for the promotion and teaching of the Spanish language, will be holding several round table events in conjunction with BEA's education program. The Instituto Cervantes will also be inviting their authors to participate in a special "Spanish language autographing" that will take place in the Spanish Language Pavilion.
