3.4 Marketing Email Suggestions

While promoting before the reading period is not mandatory, we strongly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to attract new readers and foster active participation in your book club forum. We recommend scheduling a stand-alone email communication 20-30 days before a new reading period starts. This timing will allow potential members ample time to acquire the book and join us on our literary journey. To review our universal reading schedule for each reading period, please click here.

We want to make the promotion process as seamless as possible for you! Below you will find an assortment of general example marketing templates we have prepared for you. Simply copy, paste, and tailor them to your liking, ensuring they resonate with your audience.
