The main service Book Cave offers authors and publishers is our retailer feature promotions. This single-book feature is the most immediate way to reach our avid subscribers and gain immediate downloads.
How It Works
In a retailer promotion, the author discounts their ebook and/or audiobook on retailers such as Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, Kobo, Smashwords, Chirp, YouTube, and Spotify, and we let our subscribers know in an email that the book is on sale and where. The email includes an image of the book cover, a short description of the book, the regular price and the discounted price, the genre, and the book’s content rating. We also post some of the discounted books on social media, particularly those we feel will bring readers to the deals page so they can look through all our deals.
To qualify for a retailer promotion, your book needs to meet our submission guidelines. You can view pricing and our number of subscribers here.
Series Promotions
Most of our promotions feature a single book, but you can also choose to make your ebook retailer feature into a series promotion. With a series promotion, you’ll choose one of your books in the series to show as the main feature (usually the book with the highest discount), and then you’ll add the other books in the series. These books will show as smaller covers underneath the main feature. You can enter deal prices for other books in the series as well, as a way to encourage sales, but it isn’t required. A great strategy is to put a couple of the books in the series on sale so readers will purchase those and be more likely to purchase the other books in the series at full price.
Ebook or Audiobook Promotions
You can promote your ebook or your audiobook (or both at the same time!) with our retailer feature service. There aren’t many options when it comes to promoting your audiobook, so we aim to fill that gap. While we have minimum discount requirements for ebook promotions, we understand the difficulty in discounting audiobooks, so we don’t require a minimum discount for audiobooks. We only require that audiobooks be priced at $6.99 or less. For audiobook deals, we will link to YouTube, Audible, Spotify, and Chirp as well as our regular ebook vendors who sell audiobooks.
Reach New Readers
Retailer promotions are a great way to reach avid new readers and get them hooked on your books! These promotions increase sales, as well as ranking on retailers, making your book discoverable to even more readers.
Additional Benefits
Unlike some sites that charge you for how long your book is on their site, we will keep your book up until the end of your sale or up to 180 days. That gives you more exposure for no extra charge.
All books submitted for a retailer promotion are also permanently added to our database of rated books on our My Book Ratings page.
