Published authors worldwide are constantly on the lookout for new and improved ways to promote their next book. Brad Thor is one such person. He contacted us with a special request for a custom challenge coin to hand out to his devout fans. The men and women interact with him on his personal message board and forums. Thor, being the creative thinker that he is, decided to coin the term “Thorum” to describe the area of his website, BradThor.com, dedicated to corresponding with fans. Individuals that post messages are called “Thorum Members”. Double Sided Design Gives Book Double the Exposure A guest on high profile shows like CNN and Fox, the New York Times bestselling author’s newest title is Full Black. The double sided challenge coin that we created for the customer promotes this book. The front of the coin has the words “Thorum Member” written on it with a 3D image of a lion clutching an American Flag between its teeth. The other side has the title of the book, the phrase “Ex Umbra” and the website www.bradthor.com included in its design. Details like these help draw interest in the book and author. They also serve as the ultimate way to say “Thanks!” to the most loyal fans. Include with Promotional Materials as a Way to Stand Out with the Media Authors that want to create a packet of promotional materials to send to the media benefit from creating custom coins to hand out. These personalized pieces of memorabilia make a great impression on the people that they are given to. That’s because they’re designed in a way that grabs people’s attention. From bold images and photographs to custom text, authors from all genres can use challenge coins to promote their upcoming titles as well as their website.
