Comments on: Print Run Follies http://www.chrispramas.com/2008/03/09/print-run-follies/ The Furious Scribblings of Chris Pramas Tue, 11 Mar 2008 05:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.10 By: Anonymous http://www.chrispramas.com/2008/03/09/print-run-follies/#comment-513 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 05:36:00 +0000 http://chrispramas.com/?p=165#comment-513 I wonder if the orders are coming from people (most likely distributors or retailers, not fans) who are misreading “last 3.5 Freeport book” as “last Freeport book.” If that’s the case, orders won’t end up equaling sales.

My problem is that customers rarely pre-order anything unless they either a) have some incentive or b) are clearly told that an item will be hot or in limited supply. Telling fans that this book might be a short print run might have helped with retailer pre-orders. Giving a “bonus” of some sort to ONLY customers/retailers who pre-order is a good incentive.
