Why and When Do a Children’s Book Giveaway?

Book giveaways typically run in conjunction with an exciting event or special occasion. Besides the fact that everyone is doing them—authors, publishers, book bloggers, social media influencers—here’s some special occasions you might consider promoting your book with a giveaway:

  •  Celebrate a milestone or achievement: 
    • book release
    • new editions (paperback, audio, translations, etc.)
    • awards
    • social media growth: 1K, 5k, 10K
    • birthdays
    • and more.
  • Promote an upcoming author event.
  • Time with a National Holiday (poetry month, hot dog day, talk like a pirate day, etc.)
  • You need to clear off your bookshelf.
  • Honestly, anytime is an excellent time for creating book buzz with a giveaway.

Testimonials

“We’ve had a wonderful partnership with The Children’s Book Review. The website is a great springboard for introducing new titles to a large audience concerned and interested in children’s literacy. The performance of our marketing campaigns with you have been outstanding. You have an engaging audience and it shows in the number of giveaway entries and social media. A great website!”

— Angela Williams (Consumer Marketing), Dover Publications, Inc.

“The book giveaway worked out wonderfully. Sales increased within the first week and have continued to rise since. The fee is very reasonable, and it paid for itself in a couple of days. Great exposure and increased sales. I would definitely recommend it!”

—Derek Dunn, Candleshoe Books

This is my third book giveaway with the Children’s Book Review. TCBR handled everything in a spot-on professional manner. The giveaways were accurate and looked fantastic. Letting readers know about a new book release isn’t easy in a crowded publishing world, and TCBR was well worth the minimal cost to me as an author. The Goddess Girls tween series I co-write with Suzanne Williams is doing well, and our contract with Aladdin has increased from 4 to 8 books. Thank you, TCBR. I’ll be back!

This was my first giveaway with the Children’s Book Review. What a great experience: everything was smooth and easy. I was extremely pleased with the amount of interest it generated in my book (based upon the number of comments). I highly recommend it—both a TCBR giveaway and my book, Every Day on Earth.
