Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 , What's her best solution??? Remember, part of our goal is clear out and Noble so if she HAD to order online, make sure it is through and Noble.com (sorry, don't know exact wording of the site)??? That's my guess... But wait for the Hooker's response...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Laurie, I live on the border of Delta/Surrey (suburban combined population 501,743), 20 min out of Vancouver and even I had to order it in from the Chapters/Indigo here.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 The absolute best solution is to contact a and Noble bookseller retail store in the US and buy the books by phone, using a credit card. The bookseller will ship the books for a rather nominal charge. Its almost as easy as buying online.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I guess I am a bit confused too..I thought 's goal when he started this whole thing, was to get the Online #1 from amazon.com? I checked back in the emails and this was the case..I printed out the flyers and sent them around already...doesn't it take alot more books sales for the NYtimes list? The point, as I remember him saying, was that it is easy to get on the amazon list and would help exposure of the book. I like the idea of trying for the NYT best-seller list, I just thought it was decided it would be to hard to get done..maybe I'm just confused..lol- very possible happens all the time.. cj > > > > > > > > > wrote the following: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > We may not know all the behind the > > scenes > > > > politics that > > > > are > > > > > > driving > > > > > > > > > the target list.... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ...After speaking with (Crazy > > Man > > > > Hooker) earlier > > > > today > > > > > > he > > > > > > > > > asked me to post some VERY important > > > > information regarding > > > > > > the " Buy > > > > > > > > > a Book; Save a Child " Campaign for > > June > > > > 8th... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > His wife is a bookseller by trade > > and she > > > > told him all the > > > > > > details > > > > > > > > > regarding how and WHERE books get > > included > > > > in the NY Times > > > > > > > > > Bestseller's List...unfortunately, > > we > > > > didn't have this > > > > > > information > > > > > > > > > BEFORE we made up the flyer...here's > > the > > > > facts: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > GOAL #1: MAKE EOH NUMBER 1 ON THE > > NEW YORK > > > > TIMES > > > > > > > BESTSELLER LIST > > > > > > > > > WHILE CLEARING OUT EXCESS COPIES IN > > BARNES > > > > AND NOBLE > > > > > > > BOOKSTORES: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > To do this we must take the > > following > > > > steps and ONLY THESE > > > > > > STEPS: > > > > > > > > > *BUY A BOOK FROM A " BRICK AND > > MORTAR > > > > STORE " -- > > > > > BARNES > > > > > > > AND > > > > > > > > > NOBLE (FIRST CHOICE) ANY OTHER > > STORE > > > > (SECOND > > > > > CHOICE) > > > > > > > > > *DO NOT BUY A BOOK FROM ON-LINE > > > > BECAUSE IT DOES NOT > > > > > > > COUNT > > > > > > > > > TOWARDS THE NUMBERS NEEDED FOR > > THE > > > > NY TIMES BEST > > > > > > > > > SELLER'S LIST > > > > > > > > > *IF A STORE IS SOLD OUT THEN > > ORDER > > > > AND PAY FOR THE > > > > > BOOK > > > > > > > > > IMMEDIATELY IN THE STORE AND > > THE > > > > STORE WILL ORDER > > > > IT, > > > > > > > > > THIS WILL COUNT TOWARDS THE NY > > TIMES > > > > BESTSELLER > > > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Not to challenge on this but #1 on amazon.com buys us nothing... With a dedicated push via retail book stores, it should not be that hard to get on the NYT list, but not #1... Sorry for the confusion - I should have been forthcoming with this sooner. EOH Day got planned while I was recovering from surgery...

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 , Remember, and Noble was on the flyer so I'm sure that people will still be buying from this source EVEN though they can't get the final word now...this change is for all of us here and on the other list serves to see and notate... Again, we had three days to put this together before Autism One (on top of the fact that I just got home from DC)...I'll be the first to admit I probably have too much on my plate but how do you back down from a getting a good idea in motion??? Like I said, I'm all about " movement " and I don't like to pass up an opportunity to help bring it on.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ladies and germs--I'm at your service and only care about spreading the Word. But I think so long as we are buying books and distributing them to the right people, it'll be a win. About this discussion, a few thoughts: 1. Any change in plans at this point would hurt more than it would help. The flyer already has two too many options on it. I used to write direct mail copy and we've violated a BIG rule: never give more than one offer or one direction to a consumer. 2. Now is the time to focus on what we want to do: Move books on June 8. I will start the countdown tomorrow and have a " to-do " list for each day. Each day, I will ask everyone to do ONE THING to make June 8 a success. 3. We can have future buy campaigns targeted at specific chains, if we wish. Right now let's just get our chops down and make June 8 a day on which a lot of books are sold. 4. A comment by Kirby inspired this whole thing for me: Kirby was commenting on how influential Imus was. Kirby said, " After I let the Imus taping and was driving home to Brooklyn, EOH had already climbed to #8 on Amazon. " So let's not pooh-pooh Amazon too much. The NYT compiles its bestseller list from 3000 stores nationwide. If you're going to manipulate that list, you are talking about HUGE numbers of books and dollars, more than we have. On the other hand, manipulating Amazon is doable and is a place to start. > > > > > > > > > > > > > wrote the following: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > We may not know all the behind > > > > the > > > > > > scenes > > > > > > > > politics that > > > > > > > > are > > > > > > > > > > driving > > > > > > > > > > > > > the target list.... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ...After speaking with > > > > (Crazy > > > > > > Man > > > > > > > > Hooker) earlier > > > > > > > > today > > > > > > > > > > he > > > > > > > > > > > > > asked me to post some VERY > > > > important > > > > > > > > information regarding > > > > > > > > > > the " Buy > > > > > > > > > > > > > a Book; Save a Child " Campaign > > > > for > > > > > > June > > > > > > > > 8th... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > His wife is a bookseller by > > > > trade > > > > > > and she > > > > > > > > told him all the > > > > > > > > > > details > > > > > > > > > > > > > regarding how and WHERE books > > > > get > > > > > > included > > > > > > > > in the NY Times > > > > > > > > > > > > > Bestseller's > > > > List...unfortunately, > > > > > > we > > > > > > > > didn't have this > > > > > > > > > > information > > > > > > > > > > > > > BEFORE we made up the > > > > flyer...here's > > > > > > the > > > > > > > > facts: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > GOAL #1: MAKE EOH NUMBER 1 ON > > > > THE > > > > > > NEW YORK > > > > > > > > TIMES > > > > > > > > > > > BESTSELLER LIST > > > > > > > > > > > > > WHILE CLEARING OUT EXCESS > > > > COPIES IN > > > > > > BARNES > > > > > > > > AND NOBLE > > > > > > > > > > > BOOKSTORES: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > To do this we must take the > > > > > > following > > > > > > > > steps and ONLY THESE > > > > > > > > > > STEPS: > > > > > > > > > > > > > *BUY A BOOK FROM A " BRICK > > > > AND > > > > > > MORTAR > > > > > > > > STORE " -- > > > > > > > > > BARNES > > > > > > > > > > > AND > > > > > > > > > > > > > NOBLE (FIRST CHOICE) ANY > > > > OTHER > > > > > > STORE > > > > > > > > (SECOND > > > > > > > > > CHOICE) > > > > > > > > > > > > > *DO NOT BUY A BOOK FROM > > > > ON-LINE > > > > > > > > BECAUSE IT DOES NOT > > > > > > > > > > > COUNT > > > > > > > > > > > > > TOWARDS THE NUMBERS > > > > NEEDED FOR > > > > > > THE > > > > > > > > NY TIMES BEST > > > > > > > > > > > > > SELLER'S LIST > > > > > > > > > > > > > *IF A STORE IS SOLD OUT > > > > THEN > > > > > > ORDER > > > > > > > > AND PAY FOR THE > > > > > > > > > BOOK > > > > > > > > > > > > > IMMEDIATELY IN THE STORE > > > > AND > > > > > > THE > > > > > > > > STORE WILL ORDER > > > > > > > > IT, > > > > > > > > > > > > > THIS WILL COUNT TOWARDS > > > > THE NY > > > > > > TIMES > > > > > > > > BESTSELLER > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------- > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
