Vicky, thanks for this timely post. Have you ever ordered cardboard stand-up characters? I've seen some authors use them for presentations and am wondering where to order them.
Wait, I sort of have! I made foam core cut-outs for readers theatre, but I made them myself. Color print-outs at Fedex, spray mount, foam core, and x-acto knife cutting by hand. 😁 I have also done these professionally for my former day job, large scale, through a local print shop, but they were quite expensive. Also, banners! Pop-up banners and tabletop banners are great for events and festivals, but I haven’t personally made them yet.
Vicky, do you send those book release postcards out to a list of bookstores?
Yes! I send out to bookstores that I’ve interacted with in the past and sometimes to ones I would like to.

Oooh hand made sounds like it could be budget-friendly option. I wonder if that’s how Jen made hers? I was thinking about a banner for my next series…
As far as I know Vicky hasn’t and I definitely haven’t but it sounds fun! I saw Jen de Oliveira with a cute one at her launch https://www.instagram.com/p/Cuhadc-R8k8/?igsh=MzY1NDJmNzMyNQ==
