Had a great time at Richard's Whole Foods yesterday, showing people how to muscle test to see which supplements and foods are best for them, and selling and signing books. One woman brought her husband and he was shocked to see how badly he tested for sugar, one of his favorite foods.
Yes, this is a new venue for me and one well worth pursuing if you have written a health-related book. The people who come are healthstore purchasers and quite sophisticated and willing to participate. Everyone who came bought a book and one person bought a copy of LIVING WELL WITH MENOPAUSE for herself and another as a Christmas gift for a family member. (I offered a special deal if they bought more than one book.)
Here are some tips if you plan to explore the healthfood store market. Provide copy for the manager and request that they make small bag stuffers announcing your book talk or health talk and put them in purchases of their customers. Although it poured that day, and Floridians hate to go out in the rain, I had a good core group of active, informed, and intelligent people who made my day.
November 3rd I do two booktalks at the Sarasota Book Festival and plan to stop in at two huge healthfood stores in that town and see if I can't set up something there. Oh, and I did raffle off an e-book and give everyone who came a free one-year's subscription to my Wellness Newsletter.
Cheers,
Carolyn
