Cafepress Coupons
If anyone is considering buying a copy of Downtown Dandelions from Cafepress, I'd encourage you to share the coupons. When I bought my copy they gave me a chance to send $5 off coupons to five friends. I'd encourage you to pass those coupons around. And if you can't think of a friend to send them to, send them to me and I'll redistribute them.
I've also been told you can often find online coupon codes just by using Google.
The $5 off coupons required spending a total of $20 (not including shipping), and it gave me a very fiendish idea: What if I marked my book up to $20, just so coupon users could get the $5 off without having to find some $2 item just to save a few bucks? Net result: I get a higher royalty ($7 instead of $4), the user gets a cheaper book ($15 instead of $18), and I can only assume Cafepress gets screwed.
Fortunately, I have enough ethics not to try that one. Unfortunately, I'm not so ethical that the idea didn't cross my mind.
