Shelf Talkers 101: Catching the Eye of New Readers
Shelf Talkers

The Secret That Makes Your Book Stand Out

In the competitive world of publishing, making your book visible to potential readers is one of the most significant challenges authors face. You’ve invested countless hours crafting your story, revising your manuscript, and perfecting your cover design—but how do you ensure your book catches a reader’s eye when it’s competing with dozens of other titles on a bookstore shelf?

Enter shelf talkers: powerful and often underutilized marketing tools that can dramatically increase your book’s discoverability and sales potential in physical retail spaces.

What Are Shelf Talkers and Why Do You Need Them?

Shelf talkers are small, eye-catching displays placed on or near bookshelves that provide quick, persuasive information about a specific title. These attention-grabbing prompts create a direct connection with potential readers at the critical moment of browsing.

You’ve certainly seen them during your own bookstore visits—those small cards beneath select books featuring staff recommendations, award mentions, or compelling quotes. What you might not have realized is how significantly these modest marketing pieces influence purchasing decisions.

The truth is, shelf talkers work because they:
- Break through the visual noise of a crowded bookshelf, drawing eyes directly to your title
- Provide instant credibility through third-party validation (reviews, awards, recommendations)
- Create a personal connection between your book and potential readers
- Trigger curiosity that leads browsers to pick up your book—the crucial first step toward a sale
Here’s the good news: When you work with Chanticleer for an Editorial Review, we create professional shelf talkers for you as part of our service! That’s right—you don’t have to design them yourself or wonder what information to include. Our team of publishing professionals handles this essential marketing tool for you.

The Chanticleer Mini-Marketing Kit: Your Competitive Edge

At Chanticleer, we understand that earning a spot on bookstore shelves is just the beginning of your marketing journey. That’s why we’ve developed our comprehensive Mini-Marketing Kit as a bonus add-on to all Editorial Book Reviews that includes:
- Professional shelf talkers featuring compelling excerpts from your Editorial Review
- Eye-catching foil stickers to display your Chanticleer recognition directly on your book cover
- A printed copy of your complete Editorial Review on official Chanticleer letterhead
This ready-to-use marketing package does more than just help your book stand out—it signals to bookstore owners and managers that you’re a professional author who understands the business of bookselling. By providing these materials, you’re demonstrating that you’re invested not just in your own success, but in helping retailers succeed with your book as well.

When approaching independent bookstores or libraries about carrying your title, including these professionally prepared marketing materials can make the difference between a polite rejection and an enthusiastic placement in their inventory.

Effective Shelf Talker Strategies That Drive Sales

The most effective shelf talkers leverage specific elements that motivate readers to pick up your book:

Award Recognition: Shelf talkers featuring Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards finalist or winner status immediately elevate your book’s perceived value. Readers are naturally drawn to titles that have received recognition from respected literary organizations.

Editorial Validation: A compelling quote from your Chanticleer Editorial Review provides instant credibility. When browsers see professional, thoughtful commentary about your work, it reduces the perceived risk of trying a new author.

Genre-Specific Appeal: Our shelf talkers are crafted to highlight aspects of your book that will resonate most strongly with your target audience, whether it’s the atmospheric tension in your thriller or the authentic historical details in your period romance.

Bookstore owners know these tactics work. That’s why prominent display areas like staff picks sections feature shelf talkers prominently. Below we have a photo of Chanticleer’s own Dena Weigel’s husband standing proudly beside his new release in the Featured Author section at Village Books. Notice how each displayed title has its very own custom shelf talkers that catch browsers’ attention and drive sales, just like a staff pick shelf!

Take Your Book Marketing to the Next Level with Chanticleer

In today’s crowded publishing landscape, professional marketing support can make all the difference in your book’s commercial success. When you invest in a Chanticleer Editorial Review, you’re not just getting an insightful analysis of your work—you’re acquiring powerful marketing tools designed specifically to increase your book’s visibility and sales potential.

You can read more about different reviews here, but in a nutshell our Editorial Book Reviews provide:
- In-depth, professional assessment of your work
- Compelling quotes perfect for book covers, websites, and promotional materials
- SEO-optimized online presence that improves your discoverability
- Complimentary shelf talkers and marketing materials ready for immediate use
Did you know? From Finalists and First Place Winners can request mini-marketing kits specific to their achievement in the CIBAs as part of the recognition for their own incredible achievement. Email info@chantireviews.com to learn more!

Don’t let your book get lost among thousands of titles competing for readers’ attention. Give it the professional marketing support it deserves with Chanticleer’s Editorial Reviews and custom shelf talkers.

On the 10th Day of Christmas, Chanticleer Brings to me Marketing Tips! | 12 Days of Christmas 2024

Celebrating the Twelve Days of Christmas! – One Day at a Time

The Tenth Day of Christmas gift of Ten Lords a’Leaping represents the 10 Commandments of the Old Testament that guide the faithful. We could use a lot of rules of ten for different writing practices!

On the Tenth Day of Christmas, Chanticleer brings to me…

Best Practices for Marketing your Book by Maximizing your Services!

On the 11th Day of Christmas, we’re focusing on how you can get your book the recognition it deserves in 2025. Whether you’re an indie author or a seasoned pro, marketing your book effectively is key to connecting with readers. That’s where Chanticleer comes in! From the Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs) to our Editorial Book Reviews, we provide tools and services to help your book shine and grow its audience.

Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs): Boost Your Book’s Visibility

One of the best ways to promote your book is by entering it into the Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs). As one of the most prestigious book awards programs for indie authors, the CIBAs offer incredible visibility for your work. Winning or placing in the CIBAs can propel your book onto readers’ radar, and with the exclusive badges and stickers we provide, you’ll be able to showcase your achievement wherever you promote your book!

Winning an award is great, but CIBAs also offer much more than just recognition. Each entry includes SEO-optimized technology, enhancing your book’s performance on our website and boosting its visibility online. With our dedicated SEO efforts, your book will be more discoverable by readers and search engines alike.

Whether it’s sharing your award badge on your Amazon author page, website, or across your social media platforms, the CIBAs provide the resources you need to amplify your book’s success. And with the white-glove service Chanticleer is known for, we’re always here to support you every step of the way.

Editorial Book Reviews: Enhance Your Book’s Reach with Professional Insight

In addition to awards, one of the most powerful ways to promote your book is with a Chanticleer Editorial Book Review. Not only do we provide in-depth, professional reviews for your work, but each review is packed with blurbs that you can use across various platforms. From social media posts and Amazon descriptions to website content and in-store shelf talkers, the blurbs we provide will help capture attention and intrigue potential readers.

Beyond the blurbs, our Editorial Reviews also come with comprehensive SEO optimization. This gives your book greater exposure on Chanticleer’s website and makes it more likely to be discovered through search engines. A great review helps you stand out, but the behind-the-scenes work ensures that your book gets the recognition it deserves.

Our team is committed to giving each author a white-glove experience, whether it’s crafting a tailored review or helping you optimize your marketing strategy post-review. We’re here to make sure your book gets the attention it needs to thrive.

The Power of a Badge and a Blurb

You know you want it…

Badges and blurbs are more than just accolades—they’re tools that can help you market your book and connect with readers. Whether it’s an award-winning badge from the CIBAs or a glowing editorial review blurb, these elements give you a professional edge that resonates with readers. Display them proudly on your book’s page, share them across social media, and use them to highlight your success.

At Chanticleer, we know how much effort goes into writing, publishing, and promoting a book. That’s why we’re here to support you with services that enhance your book’s visibility and marketability.

Get Ready for 2025: Make Your Book Stand Out!

This holiday season, take the opportunity to set yourself up for success in the new year. Whether it’s through the CIBAs or an Editorial Book Review, Chanticleer’s services are designed to give your book the recognition it deserves.

On the 10th Day of Christmas…

“But Jiminy Crickets, it’s after December 25th! Is it not too late for the 12 Days of Christmas?” you say.

Not to fear, Chanticleerians! The 12 Days of Christmas begins on December 26th! And it continues to the 6th of January – Three Kings Day. The four weeks leading up to Christmas is known as the Advent.

So if you haven’t finished wrapping presents, sending out those cards, and baking cookies—don’t worry—you still have time! Well, a couple more days.

Happy Holidays to You from the Chanticleer Team!

On the Tenth Day of Christmas, my true love sent to me

Ten Lord’s a’Leaping

Nine Ladies Dancing

Eight Maids A-Milking

Seven Swans A-Swimming

Six Geese A-Laying

Five Golden Rings

Four Calling Birds

Three French Hens (Chanticleer’s favorite #justsaying)

Two Turtle Doves

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree

We’re not sure why the lords are a’leaping over the 10 Commandments, but they sure do look happy.

Stay tuned for the 11th Day of Christmas!

Our favorite part about having the 12 Days of Christmas is that we can have the time we need to celebrate with our loved ones. We have time for wrapping our presents, meeting with friends for hot cocoa, and setting ourselves up in the New Year for publishing success (with Chanticleer Professional Services and the Chanticleer Authors Conference).

Wishing you Happy Holidays from Chanticleer from Kiffer, David, Dena, Scott, Anya, and Argus!

The Coveted Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards (CIBAs)

You know you want it.

The CIBAs run year round with promotions always popping up on our website to celebrate the incredible authors who advance. Starting at the Long List, we begin promoting work on our high-traffic website, on social media, and in our newsletter.

From that point we add in digital badges, promotional stickers. By the time we reach the $1000 cash prize for the Overall Grand Prize Winner, we’ve given away over $30,000 worth of prizes!

With all that plus our under the hood marketing technology, it’s no surprise that the CIBAs are the most popular of all our offerings at Chanticleer.

WELFARE CHEESE to FINE CAVIAR: How to Achieve Your Dreams Despite Your Upbringing by Thomas Wideman, MBA, PMP – Self-Help Manual, Personal Transformation, Goal Setting

Thomas Wideman, the author of this dynamic self-help manual, Welfare Cheese to Fine Caviar: How to Achieve Your Dreams Despite Your Upbringing, rose from poverty and dismay to a life of security and personal achievement through techniques he shares with readers who can incorporate them into their own life plans.

Wideman came from an impoverished African American family wracked by confusion, chaos, and, at times, criminality. His mother had three sons by three fathers, and he would come to know his own father only peripherally, eventually learning that the man murdered people and subsequently died in prison. The boy grew up in tough neighborhoods and ate “welfare cheese” (a block of pre-sliced heavy American cheese that supposedly melted well). Every month, making ends meet became more and more difficult. In an early chapter of this finely woven chronology, we see him taking food from trains parked along the railroad tracks and running from the authorities. In this, as in each new chapter, he speaks of confronting severe issues and finding ways to resolve them. In the case of the theft and other childhood incidents of fighting, experiencing bullies, and battling racism, he speaks of making up his mind that “my circumstances need not be my limitation.”

A math whiz, Wideman found his strengths through schoolwork, striving for A’s instead of merely accepting B’s.

He excelled academically and attained many honors by the time he graduated from high school. After joining the military, Wideman realized that if the military machine could not break him, nothing could. He met and cautiously courted his sweetheart, and with her and their two sons, established a happy home life, a sensible financial plan, and new dreams for the future. He can afford to eat caviar now – though he doesn’t choose to.

Each section of his book comprises a personal recollection, frank and realistically drawn, followed by a “Reflection” to help the reader examine feelings and reactions related to their own, comparable experiences. Wideman helps his readers by following up with an “Application” section. Wisdom gleaned by experience seems to stick the best. Wideman ends with a section cleverly termed “Caviar Time,” in which readers talk to themselves in a mirror, giving creative, inspiring advice and encouragement based on the guidance contained in the segment. Wideman’s well-organized, intelligent parables cover a wide range of issues: family stresses, drug and alcohol abuse, racial divisiveness, financial planning, and complex situations faced in the workplace.

Wideman’s Welfare Cheese to Fine Caviar offers hope and realistic, replicable strategies to anyone who, like himself at earlier phases of his life, faces what seems like insurmountable barriers. His general message focuses on positives: do your best, and keep meaningful goals for success always in sight. Highly recommended.

Welfare Cheese to Fine Caviar won First Place in the 2021 Harvey Chute Book Awards.
