Marketing & Promotion Services
for Standard, Advanced, and Premium ONLY
Your Role as Author Ambassador
As an author with TEACH Services, you have a powerful opportunity to connect with readers personally and promote your work. While we handle the publishing, printing, and distribution of your book, you are truly the most effective advocate for sharing your message and driving sales.
“The book didn’t sell because I didn’t promote it.”
— Bill Clinton
Two Types of Authors:
- Family or Friends: Authors who want someone to publish their book, but have no plans beyond writing the manuscript.
- Standard, Advanced, & Premium: Authors who take promotion seriously, knowing it requires as much time and effort as starting a new business—time, money, energy, and more.
Our role as your publisher is to produce a high-quality, nationally available book and initiate basic wholesale marketing. But sustained outreach makes all the difference. You have a unique ability to connect with your audience—you truly are your book’s most effective ambassador.
Marketing to Few or Many
General Marketing
Selling small quantities to many people. This is traditional marketing—ads in newspapers, social media (Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram), press releases to news agencies, or asking bloggers to review your book. The possibilities are endless.
Product Development
Selling large quantities to a few select groups. A hospital might use your book as employee gifts or community giveaways. A manufacturer may offer an abridged edition with their product. Churches might distribute your title at fairs or health conferences. Again, endless possibilities.
Your Author Advisor can help you determine the proper promotions for your title.
Standard Marketing Services
eMail Newsletter

Topic Mailings
Monthly promotions to relevant departments in Unions and Conferences—children’s books to Children’s Ministry Directors, cookbooks to Health and Temperance directors, etc.
Video Trailers on Social Media
Standard, Advanced, and Premium level titles receive custom video trailers posted on Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) with special offers and news.
Regular Distribution
Through our distribution network, your book becomes available to over 40,000 bookstores, online retailers, libraries, and schools. We send regular title data feeds to these partners, who then decide how to display and sell your book.
How It Works:
- • Major retailers show print-on-demand titles as "In Stock/Available"
- • Books can be printed immediately upon order
- • Retailers control their own display systems
- • We actively monitor and resolve availability issues
