Having a Book Signing When All You Have Are E-books
I've been to several book signings with other authors. All of us are basically e-book pubbed, but several don't have their works out in print yet. So the dilemma becomes "how can I do a book signing when I don't have any books to sign"?
Here's some of the relatively inexpensive and easy solutions I've seen, I've followed, and am passing along:
1. Do a slide show of your covers and various pictures which go with each title. Have the show viewing on your laptop or netbook at your table.
2. Or you can burn a DVD of your book trailer videos and show them the same way.
3. Have a drawing for a free e-book. People just give their names and emailing addys, and pop them in a box, a hat, a bowl, etc.
4. Burn a CD of PDFs of your cover and first chapter of each book, and give the signed CDs out.
5. Use Oriental Trading for inexpensive gizmos which are "themed" to your books/genre. Attach a business card or a signed bookmark to them, and hand out.
6. People will keep bookmarks with tassles or charms attached. You can also do postcards this way. Don't forget to sign them!
7. Give out tiny bags of candy (colored cellophane works great, and it's cheap!). Be sure to attach a business card or bookmark.

It Ain't Halloween Without CANDY!
I remember my brother and I checking out our stash after going Trick-or-Treating. We'd go into my bedroom and dump our orange plastic Jack-'o-lantern buckets onto the floor and start counting to see who'd gotten the most. There were certain items he liked that I didn't, so I gave him mine. And he did the same for stuff I liked but he didn't care for.Of course, he always pigged out on his, and paid for it later.
Me...I ate a little that night and hid the rest to eat a piece at a time later on. It wasn't unusual for me to have candy all the way to Thanksgiving. :D
