I would first ask how far do you want to go. Find out all the yarn shops in the area. Send them a fun note, or find a graphic designer to do up some cards/postcards to mail out to prospective yarn stores. Follow up with a phone and promote it as a call from the designer herself! See if they want to have a book signing at their shop. If you hold a class and do a book signing have a yarn on sale that goes well with the book. Promote it on ravelry, and send press notices to local papers. (this is after you have firmed the date with the yarn store) If going far away, ask if yarn stores are willing to chip in for a book signing. Also contact fairs. (wish this was coming out at Maryland Sheep and Wool.) but there is Rhinebeck, Stitches East, and check out TNNA. What about county fairs especially where there is a strong sheep presence. There is a lot of work with this kind of venture but it could really be fun.<BR/><BR/>PattyPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078593744462216549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-22726755358661135762008-04-04T07:05:00.000-04:002008-04-04T07:05:00.000-04:00This is so exciting!
