Hi Berry,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the giveaway for "Seeking the Light of Justice." I understand your frustration and disappointment in not seeing immediate sales or reviews following the giveaway, despite the significant number of books distributed.
I'd like to clarify that for the giveaway you participated in, books were only distributed to 3 winners chosen from a large pool of readers. This aligns with our standard practice for most giveaways. However, in your case, you were part of our special $5 ginormous giveaway event, which, as an exception, aimed to significantly increase author exposure by promising 200 emails but ultimately delivered 1200+ emails to participants.
It's important to note that these readers voluntarily opted into authors' newsletters, suggesting an interest in the genre or book. However, engagement beyond that, such as sales or reviews, relies on the readers' continued interest and is not guaranteed through the giveaway alone.
The purpose of these promotions is to get the email addresses of the readers who sign up. This helps you build your newsletter list, which allows you stay connected to the readers.
Readers sign up for a chance to win a Kindle and the ebooks of the participating authors. There is one grand prize winner who gets all of that and 2 winners who receive all the ebooks. So with each List Builder, only 3 readers are getting copies of the ebooks.
If you are looking to increase sales and reviews, our Daily Deal promotions can help with that.
We want to support your promotion efforts. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
We shall reach out to you through email to understand your issues more deeply.
Best Regards
CraveBooks Team
