While we’re talking about pre-orders I want to tell you some things that you might not know. This goes for all books, not just Super Cute Crispy Treats.

5 Reasons to Pre-Order a book

1. Pre-orders are a big deal. It helps stores know how many copies of the book to order. Some stores use online pre-orders as a way to gauge if they want to purchase a book at all. So if there is a book or author you want to support, pre-order the book. It will save your favorite new authors some stress and sleepless nights. I may be speaking from experience on this one.
2. When you pre-order a book, you aren’t actually charged for the book until it ships. Double check with your preferred retailer, but everywhere I have looked this is the case. That means if you see a great deal on a pre-order go ahead and order now. You’ll want to make a note so you have the funds available when shipping time comes, but you can take advantage of the pre-order sales and then budget accordingly.
3. Some online retailers offer a low price guarantee on pre-orders. In other words, if you pre-ordered a book at $15 and the next day the price drops to $13, you would only be charged $13. The price guarantee only qualifies for price drops after you order. Pre-order early to get the very best price.
4. A lot of authors will offer some kind of pre-order incentives or giveaways. Some offer signed bookplates and in this case I’m doing a giveaway. These promos are fun and they will only happen during the pre-order stage.
5. Be the first on your block to get an awesome book. No worries about FOMO(Fear of missing out) when you pre-order and you get the book right as soon as it releases.

So #5 might be a little silly, but I totally am the type that wants to have the hot new book/toy/things as soon as it comes out.
