So what, you may ask, am I doing writing a blog entry at midnight? Frankly, I find that's the best time to do things like check emails, send out our regular e-newsletter, update the website, do artwork for posters, yadda yadda yadda; i.e. all the kind of stuff one needs to do sitting in front of the 'puter that I didn't manage to get round to during the day.
So anyhoo... apart from dealing with our website, multiple email accounts (my own as well as the general inbox), MailChimp, PayPal, Facebook, Twitter etc, the team have suggested we give Tumblr a go. (My attempts at Pinterest I must say has been pretty abyssmal to date, so I was a bit hesitant at first.) I'm no techie and I must say that bookselling requires a lot of communication - not just the face-to-face kind, but also the online variety. The team have been great and have kickstarted our Tumblr blog. Should be fun - for the more spontaneous types of updates that include photos, quotes, anecdotes, that sort of thing. Now, if I can get it all to sync with Facebook etc, that would be marvellous.
And who thought bookselling was just about selling books? LOL. If you've got any ideas on what you'd like to see on our Tumblr pages - let us know - we're all ears :)
