I thought this an interesting post to share with you.
What can an author learn from a pair of Spanx?A lot.
I was in a mall last week with my aunt and, as we walked through the pantyhose department, I noticed that one brand stood out. Spanx.
How Spanx got noticed and the unique marketing of this product is a brilliant lesson for all authors. Small is the new big.
1. Fill a void.
As an entrepreneur you want to stand out from everyone else who has a book. Spanx was CREATED to fill a void. Ask yourself what VOID your book can fill – where can it be presented, signed or stocked where it will be noticed.
2. Packaging matters.
People DO judge a book by its cover. Spanx created a recognizable brand image that stands out. Simple and red. Keep it simple – it will be read.
3. Small is the new big.

Jenna Jaxon Romance--because passion is timeless. 
Interesting, but sometimes difficult to apply to niche markets. Virtually all women believe they need a girdle. Not so with erotic books. Girdles are not sinful. Erotica is considered sinful in many places. Word-of-mouth isn’t always the answer.
Thanks for sharing, Jenna!
