In marketing, there are certain scenarios and events that make up what may constitute “the perfect storm.” Last night’s book signing at Borders in the Salmon Run Mall, Watertown, NY was just such a case.
A week ago I was interviewed on the #1 talk radio station in town (which subsequently ran all weekend), followed by an interview in the local section of the Watertown Daily Times. The day-of the event, Wayne and I did a presentation at the largest Middle School in the county (Indian River), and it was kid’s Trick-Or-Treat night through all the storefronts at the mall. Add on top of all this my “9-5″ job (and then some) of pastoring a modest sized youth group in a very loving church, and you have a monster pre-Halloween book signing (pun most definitely intended). We sold out in the first hour, and resorted to handing out thousands of promo cards to the rest of those in line. Moral of the story? The Boy Scout Motto: Be Prepared (because perfect storms do happen). ch:

Thanks for all those of you who have been tuning in to our live broadcasts on the FFT site! It’s been great chatting with you! Today we did an interview with TBN, did a signing at Harvest Bookstore in Seattle, and then a fabulous reading/sword fight/signing at Salt Shaker in Enumclaw. Our sword fight at Harvest even caused a serious car accident! Tomorrow (Sunday) we’ll be traveling through Oregon and hitting Portland and Medford! Make sure to Watch Live! CH
