The main areas where we promote and publicize our titles are on our
website (www.3dtotal.com), our dedicated publishing website
(www.3dtotalpublishing.com) and in our digital magazines,
3DCreative and 2DArtist. We host banner adverts on all pages of our
website (in a rota system) where they are seen by our 500,000
unique monthly visitors. Our magazines have 10,000 readers per
issue and we run full page adverts for our products. We also
regularly post free book sample giveaway articles on our website,
promote reviews and advertise our new releases on various artistic
forums and news websites.
Further to this we have a mailing list of 10,000+ which we
regularly promote the books through and we exhibit at the Siggraph
exhibition every year (20,000 visitors). We also promote the books,
and all related promotional activity, on our Twitter and Facebook
pages.
All books are available to pre-order a month before they are
released, and we generally provide some kind of free gift with
pre-orders.
We send out a promotional postcard with all physical orders to
promote books titles that are about to be released.
We have also launched a website dedicated to 3DTotal Publishing,
which holds full details about all of our currently published and
upcoming titles, as well as information about our various global
distributors: http://3dtotalpublishing.com/
If a new book is released in an existing series, we write to
customers who have purchased the previous book to let them know
that a new book is now available.
We also try to secure an interview with the main/featured artist
just before the launch, which is made available on our website, and
promoted via our social media channels.
We have a strong relationship with Future Publishing and Imagine
Publishing, who make many of the premier CG magazines such as
3DWorld and ImagineFX, and who announce our new releases and
publish reviews. We also have a number of full page adverts running
in their newsstand bookazines.
We aim for all the contributing artists to post the news of the
book release on their websites and blogs.
We are building relationships with other large web-based CG
communities, such as conceptart.org, and plan to do cross
promotions with them.
We are starting to advertise in relevant magazines and websites to
promote the release of a new book.
We sponsor a few large CG based competitions each year, offering
the books as prizes.
