Monday's Muse~Swag Creation
As the release date for my next novel approaches I’m inspired by swag. There is so many different options out there that it can be overwhelming. I’ve narrowed it down to a site that I like which creates swag but a nagging question remains; what do readers really enjoy receiving when it comes to swag. So I hope you’ll bear with me and answer a survey. Just put the selections that you like, in the order you prefer them, in a comment below.
A) Bookmarks
B) Small Magnets
C) Postcards
D) Posters
E) Stickers
F) Key Chains
G) T-shirts
H) Tote Bags
Thanks for your help everyone! What inspired you last week?

I'm thinking I'm beyond the age of posters on my wall. I have a zillion tote bags. My grandkids love stickers. I think a nice t-shirt is fun. But a key chain, I always use... especially if there is a light involved. :)
I hope this helps.
It helps a lot, thanks Karlene! I didn't think to look at it from the perspective of who people will give the swag to once they receive it. Brilliant!

I haven't done any swag--I'm interested to see what your results turn out!
Swag is so fun to create Laura, you'll love it! Thanks for your input.
DeleteI'm a sucker for bookmarks (I collect them) and love tote bags as well. I collect postcards too but don't have any book ones. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI love bookmarks too! I'll have to get some postcards for you. ;)
DeleteNever won swag before, but I gotta say my favorites would be: a) bookmarks, d) posters, f) key chains, and h) tote bags. :)

Congrats on being so close to the end of your first draft! Whoo hoo! Love that feeling.
DeleteBookmarks. (I'd put small magnets next, because I'd use them to stick notes or pictures to the 'fridge, but nothing in my house holds a magnet--dang!) I'd say the key, for me, is whether I can use it, which also means I don't already have too many of whatever it is. Bookmarks can always be used.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to get you a steel refrigerator Linda!
DeleteGreat idea getting people's opinions first :)
ReplyDeleteI quite like getting....
A - bookmarks
F - key chains
G - T-shirts - but only if they are cool and subtle :)
Good luck with your giveaway!!
I thought it might be better this way. ;) Thanks Melissa!
DeleteI've never actually received swag for a novel, but A, D, and T are always fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to send you something GE!
DeleteHonestly, just bookmarks. I think it's better to use the swag money toward giveaways of your book on your blog tour to generate more excitement. That's my opinion for what it's worth.
ReplyDeleteGreat point Natalie!
DeleteKey chains, T-shirts, magnets, stickers . .
ReplyDeleteI used to love book marks - I'd lose them all the time but liked them anyways - but now most of my reading is on the Kindle, and they're not so collectible any more.
A shame really; book marks can be awesome.

I never thought of it that way Donna, good point.

Three of my own top four choices! Great minds think alike. ;)
DeleteI would go with:
ReplyDeleteH, A, B, F, G, C, E, D. I like things that can be used as well as admired :-)
Me too Sarah! They're less likely to get shelved that way.
DeleteWhat a great question and I've been wondering myself! I run a monthly poll on my blog and don't have one for February. I think I'll put this on there. :)
ReplyDeleteA bookmark always works for me. A totebag or a keychain is next in usage. I don't use magnets much.
ReplyDeleteTote bags, bookmarks, and stickers are my top 3 choices. These will definitely will help in a way for my writing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the survey!
