One of the things I have learned about book promotion is that the more gimmicky your marketing becomes, the more valued your book becomes. The reason I say this is that whenever I find someone who has

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

taken their book promotion to the next level, no matter how crazy it is and no matter how outside of the box , the promotion usually works in the author’s favor.

One of the most gimmicky things I hav

A book trailer is simply a promotional video. Think of it as a movie premier of your bo

lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

is a less expensive route you can go and still turn out a quality book trailer.

One thing we all must keep in mind when marketing our books is that visual sells. When used right, this promotional vi

No matter if you go it alone, or hire someone to produce your book trailer, this is a wonderful device to visually show off your book.

Shrink wrapping is a generic term which defines the covering of a product with a clear, or in some cases printed, plastic film. This film is then sealed together forming a loose bag around the product which is then shrunk tightly using a source of heat, often a heat shrink tunnel.

Employment law case concerning Fairbrother v Abbey National plc [2007], concerned an employee who was employed as a customer manager since March 1998. The employee suffered from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a fact which at the time when she applied for the job was not made known to the employer, but which became clear after she took up her position.

However, this changed in 2002 when two of her co-workers began to treat her and another employee, R, less favourably.
