I always wonder how much online marketing actually appeals to the target audience. I know the pre-teen in my house typically bases her book wishlist on friend recommendations, my recommendations, and browsing bookstores.Cat Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619242789804725197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427253371861142565.post-42152279259177017982012-01-19T10:23:07.228-08:002012-01-19T10:23:07.228-08:00Trailers are definitely getting better, but I stil...Trailers are definitely getting better, but I still wonder how effective they are. It'd be interesting to poll teen readers and get their perspective on them.Ara Burklundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03449683179737319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427253371861142565.post-750202952322250072012-01-15T19:40:26.201-08:002012-01-15T19:40:26.201-08:00Quirk Books teasers are fabulous!

I don't always run out and buy all the books they're advertizing, but they do provide some wonderful entertainment.<br /><br />I definitely agree about the fine line between telling the entire story and showing enough to whet our appetites. And I'm personally a fan of book trailers that get to the point instead of dragging on for several minutes.<br /><br />I'm sure the medium is making for a great launching pad for film directors.Cat Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619242789804725197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7427253371861142565.post-32516766267689208032012-01-13T15:55:17.187-08:002012-01-13T15:55:17.187-08:00I have been following Book Trailers (in general) f...I have been following Book Trailers (in general) for a little bit now - I think they are a marvelous way to grab attention for books. Our society is becoming increasingly more and more visual. <br /><br />Of course, there is quality control needed, too. Just like actual Movie Trailers, there is a fine line between creating a teaser and telling the entire story. <br /><br />I am a personal fan of the book trailers that over-do the "movie-esque" flavor of the teaser, such as those done by Quirk Books.
