DIY Author Swag: Promotional Bookmarks

Fechar

Looking for a creative, low-cost way to promote your book? 📚 In this tutorial, I’ll show you step-by-step how to design and cut custom promotional bookmarks—the perfect author swag for networking events, book fairs, and signings.

✨ Here’s what we’ll cover:

Designing in Canva: I’ll show you how to create a bookmark with your book cover, title, tagline, and a QR code that links directly to your Amazon page.

Adding Cut Guidelines: Learn how to add a light gray border around each bookmark (with margins) so your cutting machine reads it perfectly.

Cutting with Brother ScanNCut SDX125: I’ll walk through scanning, setting the cut margin to 0.02, and cleanly cutting out each bookmark.

Pro Author Tip: I bring these bookmarks (with a copy of my book) to networking events. It’s a great way to spark conversations, give people something useful, and encourage them to check out my book.

Bookmarks are a memorable, practical, and professional giveaway that help your book stand out. 🖨️✂️
