Ghoul Times Ahead…Rev Up For The Holidays!
AS we enter into the home stretch of retailing
anything is possible from now through the
end of the year. For retailers this is one of the
most exciting times of the year.
THE final quarter is also one of the most
nerveracking times for us as well as we
anxiously await the holiday sales season. After
coasting through the slower months and the
summer we’re now poised to make the bulk of
our annual income.
THIS year has certainly been one of the most
tumultuous of many past ones. We have, and
continue to have, an erratic economy, global
tensions, inflation and unrest. This is making
for many challenges for us all. The upside of
things is that even with all that is going on the
consumer indexes are still strong. Shoppers
are shopping which gives us optimism.
AFTER 41 years here at Forum, one thing I
know is that Christmas and the holidays will
always come and shoppers will always spend!
It is always just a question of how much they
will spend – but spend they will!
THE unknown right now is if the season will
start late or early. Will our competitors and the
big box stores start immediately discounting
or will they be smart and gradually lower
prices as the holidays draw closer? These are
all things that we cannot predict but make a
big difference to our bottom lines.
THIS month we will see billions of dollars
>> ON-LINE SOURCING
spent on Halloween merchandise. It is a huge
money holiday and you need to make sure
your business cashes in one way or another.
If you sell gift merchandise or novelties you
need to add a Halloween section which is easy
to do and can be very profitable.
IF your business does not sell Halloween
goods you can still decorate your selling space
and displays to let shoppers feel the Halloween
spirit. It is inexpensive and sets a festive mood
for shippers of any products.
NOW is also the time for you to start your
lay-away plan for shoppers. And be smart
about it. Make it simple for your shoppers to
use and don’t add fees and charges. Make your
shoppers anxious to use it and you will end up
making greater sales to them.
ABOVE all, make sure that your sales spaces
are festive and welcoming. Shoppers want to
feel the holiday spirit when they buy from you.
This is true whether it is brick-and-mortar
retail or if they visit your website. You need to
set the mood for your shoppers to get them
shopping and feeling connected.
THIS is the time we have all been waiting
for, It is time to move things up a notch or two
and impress the importance of this season to
your sales staff. Every hour, every day counts
so put your best efforts forward. Once we get
past Halloween it all happens very quickly!

PATTER’S HAS IT ALL
THERE has always been a thriving market for all things collectible, whether
it was old treasures or new merchandise that will be destined to
become valuable. It has always been difficult for stores and vendors
to find a reliable and trustworthy supplier of these items which made
it difficult to offer a large selection to their shoppers.
AND then along comes Patter’s Collectibles, a well establshed and
extremely knowledgeable supplier of all things collectible. Patter’s is
a major distributor of licensed sports teams apparel and accessories
(really hard to find!) as well as a large line of novelty items and
collectibles that will have customers lining up at your store or filling
their carts on your website.
WITH no minimum order and fast 24-48 shipping, Patter’s invites
you to visit their website and sign up for special wholesale pricing.
THIS month’s hottest sellers are major league caps!
ZAP UP YOUR SALES
SELF defense product sales have been surging over this last year.
Let’s face it, you see the news and in all cities whether they
are large or small, violent crimes are on the rise. Citizens are
looking for non-lethal ways to protect and defend themselves.
BESTEX Company has been in the self defense industry for
many years and knows the importance of delivering a high
quality product at a reasonable price. Their headliner product is
the Dual Defense Thunder Strike Stun Gun. This unit has amazing
accuracy with a 17 foot range and great stopping power.
YOUR customers will thank you for stocking this high
quality non-lethal product. When you buy from Bestex you are
transacting with a company who truly knows the ins-and-outs
of self defense. Please check YOUR state regulations to ensure
product legality.
MAKE MONEY WITH CLOSEOUTS
AS retailers, whether we are selling in a physical location or online
we need to have the most wanted goods at the best prices. The
problem these days is that goods have been costing more and our
margins have been shrinking. Retailers, flea market vendors and online
sellers need to get ahead of the curve.
THIS is why we all need to add closeout merchandise into our mix.
Closeouts are simply goods that have been overbought, packaging
changed or from a business that ceased. You can buy first quality
items for pennies on the dollar...WHEN you know where to buy them.
Our CLOSEOUT DIRECTORY shows you where with our listings of
100’s of closeout dealers. Just $29.95 book or PDF.

RETAILING NEWS
Can Employees Be Mandated To Work Overtime?
THERE has always been a great deal of confusion over this question and rules concerning
employee work time and pay. Many employees believe that they are entitled to breaks during a
workday and a maximum number of hours they are obligated to work. The Fair Labor Standards
Act regulates equal pay, child labor, the minimum wage and overtime but does not address
many issues that there is a lot of confusion on.
THE fact is that employees under age 16 or covered under collective bargaining agreements
or suffer from a disability, the general rule is that employers can require an employee to work
more than forty hours a week. There is no ruling against that in the FLSA therefore employers are
free to set the work hours of all employees. Employers can require employees to work additional
hours and overtime and if an employee refuses to comply, the employer has the legal right to
terminate that employee.
Employers may not discriminate against any one employee or those with disabilities within a
protected class to work additional overtime hours.
IF the number of hours or employees schedule is changed for any significant period of time
the employer must provide notice to the employee with a 7-day written notice. Employers
should also clearly state this policy in their hiring manuals. Although the FLSA doesn’t affect
an employer’s ability to require an employee to work additional hours or overtime, there may
still be state specific laws that change the outcome. Like in California when an employee is
required to receive overtime pay for working more than eight hours a day, or in Florida where
employers are not required to provide overtime pay.
BECAUSE of the potential for violation of the FLSA and the legal claims, it is advised that all
employers consult with legal counsel on these matters to ensure compliance with all laws and
regulations which can vary by state. This article is presented only as generic information.
Kmart Under Fire For Using Facial Recognition
I have seen the future, and it is not so great! There’s been a lot of talk and concern about
AI and facial recognition systems which seem to be quite unpopular in countries like the United
States. While facial recognition is not used here in the USA, apparently in Australia Kmart and
anther retailer Bunnings are being investigated by the government there for implementing
facial recognition technology in their stores.
SEPARATELY, the British grocery chain Southern Co-op is also drawing heat for its use of this
technology as well.
DEFENDING its use of facial recognition technology, Bunnings Managing Director said that
it bans unruly and violent customers but that ban is ineffective and hard to enforce. Facial
recognition gives us a chance to identify when a banned person enters a store so our team can
handle the situation before it escalates.
WHILE these retailers argue the merits of the facial recognition system it is widely held that
the general population and not in favor of its implementation and the respective governments
appear opposed as well. The final decisions will be a major ruling in how and when this
technology will be implemented.

SELL ANGLES, NOT CREDENTIALS
Everyone who writes a magazine article or
book was not born with a silver pen in hand.
Don’t let the fact that you sweat over having to
write a 2-paragraph letter keep you from tackling
a 1,500-word article or a 10-chapter book.
The ability to write is about 4th on the list of
what it takes to sell your writing. The ability to
spot a salable angle, professionalism, and unwavering
persistence are more important than
writing talent.
Finding a topic that is timely, noteworthy, and
not overdone is the most crucial element of scoring
a byline. But just touting a topic for discussion
is not enough. Add an intriguing spin on a
certain aspect of that topic to prove to the editor
or publisher that you have something to say (that
boldly goes where no writer has gone before).
This is the elusive angle on an idea that good
writers spend their lives stalking. While editors
say there are no good ideas left – they’ve covered
them all – they bend over backwards to
find new angles on old ideas that their competitors
have yet to spot. And if you’re the one who
can feed them that angle – regardless of your
ability to write – you will earn the ear of the editor
and either a byline or an attribution in the
publication.
To find an angle, take your topic and look at it
from every possible perspective. Break down

the idea into as many different pieces as you
can. Then ask yourself what you know about
each piece that may be different from what others
know or have heard.
Here’s a list of bland ideas that will make an
editor of a targeted publication yawn as he or
she tosses the article proposal into the wastebasket,
and a corresponding list of tantalizing
angles that shout “new and intriguing.” The
business trying to market the idea is also listed
so that you get a sense of who’s selling what
ideas and why.
Business: Canned tuna company
Target: National health magazine
Self-serving Idea: Our tuna is high in Omega 3,
which has been touted as a health benefit
Angle Sold: How the canning process affects
the Omega 3 in canned tuna
Business: Women’s directory
Target: Local business magazine
Self-serving Idea: We’re holding a symposium
filled with interesting workshops. One is on
stress management.
Angle Sold: How top executives are using meditation
to combat stress
Business: Plastic surgeon
Target: National Women’s Magazine
Self-serving Idea: I use tissue expansion to help
overcome the negatives of skin grafts.

5-year-old girl using state-of-the-art tissue expansion
techniques.

Once you’ve honed your angle, you’re ready
to approach an editor. Don’t pick up the
phone and call. Just as if you were selling any
other product, you need to write a convincing,
professional proposal. But don’t worry, it
doesn’t need to be lengthy; in fact, the shorter
the better.

Editors want ideas submitted in the form of a
one-page letter called a query. They don’t want
to see the entire manuscript. And you’re wasting
your time by writing the entire article before
you know if you have a salable idea or the
specific slant an editor may want.
Query letters do 3 primary things. They:
1. Demonstrate that you have a fresh angle
on an important topic.
2. Show that you have the ability to write
the article in a way that will interest
the magazine’s readers.
3. Prove that you are the expert to write it.
It’s important that your letter not just whisper
your idea in a boring business letter style. It
must trumpet it in a way that will be music to
the ears of an editor whose in-basket is deluged

with proposals from professional writers, public
relations agencies, and others who want to
see their name in print. Your first paragraph –
the lead to your letter – should capture the
imagination of the editor by painting a scenario
with a real-life anecdote, offering a startling statistic,
posing an intriguing question, or turning
a phrase in such a way that it makes the editor
want to know more.
Read the following
leads from a few
queries we’ve written
to see how the introductory
paragraph in
a query differs significantly
from the first
paragraph of a traditional
business letter.

(To USAir) – Nearly every American boy
dreams of playing baseball in the major
leagues. Stepping up to the plate on a warm
summer day and cracking one over the center
field wall to the roar of the crowd is a romantic,
but rarely realized, fantasy. But for a few days
a year, the dream comes alive for men who enroll
in what has become known as fantasy baseball
camp.
(To Nation’s Business) – “A leader isn’t worth
much if he can’t step in and take charge.” “If
you want something done right, you’ve got to
do it yourself.” “Good managers have all the
answers.”
Build Your Own
Such take-charge sentiments are natural for
company leaders. Since owners or managers of
small and medium-sized companies are ultimately
responsible for the success of their businesses,
they feel compelled to perform or oversee
every aspect of their operations.
(To Modern Maturity) –
When your sleepy-eyed
grandchild says, “Tell me
a story,” do you reach for
a book to read instead of
stretching your imagination?
“I’m no storyteller,”
you may think, remembering
that your own dad
seemed to have a special
knack for telling tales. But
we’re all storytellers. What
did you do the last time
you explained to someone
why you were late?

FORUM WORKSHOP
(To American Way) – Jim stormed out of the department
meeting disgusted with the resistance
to his ideas for boosting sales in a sagging account.
“What’s the use of coming up with innovative
ideas around here?” he scowled. If you
were Jim’s boss how would you respond? a)
“Don’t worry, you’ll come up with another
good campaign.” b) “I understand, I have trouble
getting new ideas across myself.” c) “Sounds
like you’re discouraged about trying to change
things.” d) “Can’t you rethink key aspects of the
campaign and present it again next week?”
Once you’ve introduced your topic with intrigue,
tell the editor the proposed title of your
article or book; then summarize the main points
that you’ll cover. If you plan to quote other experts
in the field, share a name or two from your
source file with the editor. Then let the editor
know why his or her readers will be interested
in this topic and why it’s timely. Finally, end the
query by giving a small sampling of your background
in the field. If you’ve had other articles
with your byline published, paper clip two or
three examples to the proposal, attach
a self-addressed, stamped envelope
for a reply, and tuck it all into a
9x12” envelope to drop in the mail.
Although the process is time-consuming and
seems archaic, most editors request that you do
not send the same query letter to a number of
magazines simultaneously. They want the first
right to see an idea and to not have to worry
that if they invest the time to evaluate your
query letter and decide to buy it, that other editors
may also be making the same decision.

While the natural business inclination
is to want to get a
number of requests and to sell
to the highest bidder, turning
down an editor’s offer because
you have gotten a better
deal from another publication
is the fastest way to destroy a
relationship with a magazine.
Unless your idea is extremely timely, wait 4 to
6 weeks to follow up with the editor to whom
you’ve sent your query, either by a phone call
or by sending a note with a copy of the origin
al query. If the first editor isn’t interested, send
a newly printed copy of your query to another
magazine. Don’t let one rejection slip discourage
you. If the editor has taken the time to say
why the idea won’t work, evaluate the opinion
Page 42 OCTOBER 2022 | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE
to determine if you need to do more work on
the query. If you don’t see the need to revise the
query, mail it out again. Coauthor Diane once
had a query on a timely topic rejected by 6
major women’s magazines, but the 7th was a
charm. The article sold on its 7th try to McCall’s
for a fee of $3,000.
We said don’t call in your ideas, but there’s always
someone who breaks the rule and wins.
When Arnold Rincover, Ph.D., a child psychologist
and an award-winning, best-selling author,
wanted to change careers from a
university researcher to author, he called the
major newspaper in his area, the Toronto Star
and asked if they would be interested in a psychology
column. Likewise, he called a prominent
agent and expressed his interest in writing
a book on child rearing.

“To my utter shock, both said ‘yes,” says Rincover.
“My columns – which to that point had
never been written – began selling for $200 a
month and my book, which took a year to
write, sold to Random House
Canada and later in the USA
to Simon and Schuster Pocket
Books Division.”
Later to expand his income, Rincover once
again picked up the phone and called newspapers
around the country to try to syndicate his
column. “I sent samples, followed up with calls
and more calls until they gave me a definite yes
or no. Some took it, some didn’t, but many
major newspapers said yes. In fact, one editor
said he wasn’t interested in the column on psychology
but asked if I knew someone who
could write one on parenting. I said, ‘Yes, me.’
Page 44 OCTOBER 2022 | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE
I went back to the other papers that turned
down the first column and offered the 2nd, and
many bought it. I was now reaching millions of
people, getting paid thousands of dollars, and
just writing 2 columns.”
Identifying Your Magazine Market
Knowing who to send your magazine queries
to for maximum return takes more than cruising
by the supermarket newsstand and picking
out your favorite business magazine. It may be
easy to spot Inc. or Forbes on the rack, but hundreds
of other writers are submitting ideas to
those publications every day. In addition to the
obvious consumer magazines, whose addresses
you can find in Writer’s Market (a compendium
of magazines and of publishing
houses), don’t overlook trade journals.

If your book is published, it immediately serves
as a third-party endorsement for your credibility,
since the publisher was obviously impressed
enough by your expertise to sign you.
Once again, a proposal is your sales call to a
publisher. You can read entire books on the subject.
(One that we recommend is How to Write a
Book Proposal by Michael Larsen, Writer’s Digest
Books, 1985.) Here are the basics to determine
if this is an avenue you’ll want to pursue.
Before you put pen to paper, it’s essential to do
a cursory literary search to determine what else
has been written on your subject and if your
book will significantly differ from the competition.
This will let you identify your niche in the
book marketplace, and you’ll use this information
when you write a marketing statement for
the publisher.
Next, be sure that you
have enough to say on
the topic. A common
reason that editors turn
down book ideas is because
they are not pithy
enough to warrant 250
to 350 manuscript pages.
Instead, they are ideas for magazines articles of
2,000 words. To determine of you have enough
to say for a book, try taking your topic and dividing
it into 10 to 15 chapters. Would you be
able to write 15 to 20 manuscript pages worth
of information for each of those chapters? Does
each chapter have its own special theme? Do
you have lists of how-to tips, charts, quizzes,
and worksheets that provide vital information
and occupy manuscript space?

FORUM WORKSHOP
If you have enough material to warrant a booklength
work, be tough on your idea and ask
yourself if it is marketable. Try writing a 2-paragraph
description of the book that a publisher
might use for back-of-thebook
sales copy. Is your
book salable? Does it attract
a specific, clearly defined audience?
What’s new about
what you have to say?
Once you are certain that you’ve got a strong
book idea, write a 2-page query letter to a literary
agent. The letter should begin with an interest-grabbing
lead, like any query letter, and
then describe the book, its potential readers,
and the void your book fills when compared to
what’s currently available. Names of agents
and the types of books they represent can be
found in the library in one of several reference
books. Literary Agents of North America and
Literary Marketplace are two good sources;
your librarian may know of others. Read the
descriptions of the agents and find one or more
who represents the type of work you want to
write. You’ll most likely be writing nonfiction,
so don’t send your idea to a fiction-only agent
and don’t send a business book idea to someone
who specializes in science and medicine.
Unlike the magazine proposal, it is appropriate
to send your book query letter to more than one
agent at a time. If several are interested in representing
your book idea, choose the agent who
you feel is most in tune with your book topic,
who has the best track record in selling books
for top dollar, and whose personality clicks
with yours.

Your agent will ask for yet another
proposal to send to editors at publishing
houses. This proposal runs from 10 to 50
pages and includes the following:
• Book Overview – summarizes your idea and
how the book will be written. Will it include
real-life anecdotes, quotes from experts in the
field, worksheets, graphs, or illustrations?
• Marketing Statement – describes the audience
for the book and the timeliness of the idea
and lists 4 to 6 other books that yours will compete
with. Don’t say that no other book has
been written on the subject quite like yours. Instead
find the books that are closest to yours
and write a paragraph about those books and
how yours differs or how it clarifies or improves
what has previously been written on the
subject.
• Table of contents
• Chapter Summaries – outlines, in 1 or 2 paragraphs,
what you will say in each chapter.
• Two Sample Chapters – Gives a sample of
your information and writing style. It’s best to
pick 2 chapters other than the first and the second.
Choose the most significant and important
chapters to write as samples to let your expertise
shine through.
• Author Bio – describes your background as it
pertains to the subject and lists any previous
writing credits.

Once your agent has had
you make any changes
in the proposal, he or she
will send it off with a
cover letter to a number
of potential publishing
houses. Responses from
publishers can take anywhere
from a few weeks
if your topic sizzles to
several months if it requires
more convincing.
A publisher will offer an advance for the book
that can range anywhere from a few thousand
dollars to many thousand dollars and a percentage
of royalties, that ranges from about 8 to
12%. Publishing is not the road to getting rich
quick. In fact, to understand the harsh realities
of the field, read The Awful Truth About Publishing
by John Boswell (Warner Books, New York,
1986.) But even if your book is a loss leader, the
potential it holds to establish you as an authority
and to help you win speaking engagements
and new business is remarkable. And there are
few business joys that match being asked to
sign a book that bears your byline as the expert
in the field.
Self-Publishing Puts You in Charge
If you don’t have the time to interest a publisher
in your book or to wait for the publishing
house to edit, design, and print it, you may
want to consider self-publishing. Getting your
work typeset – or having it converted from
your word-processing disk into desktop publishing
form – and printed can often be quicker
when you take control.

You don’t have to worry about an editor reworking
your material or a designer you’ve
never met creating a cover design that reminds
you more of a Most-Wanted poster than a book
jacket. And since you should be hiring professional
freelance help – editors, designers, and
printers – you don’t lose in getting input from
the published field.
While publishing houses pay you for your
book, in self-publishing you foot the bill for editing,
typesetting, printing, and marketing.
Don’t, however, get self-publishing confused
with vanity presses,
which have earned questionable
reputations for
charging anxious authors
large sums of money to
print their books.

Marion K. Woodall, a speech coach, realized
that she needed a book that capsulized 25 years
of material she had developed while teaching
business communications on the college level.
She came up with the title, Thinking on Your
Feet, and created a separate publishing company
to produce the book.
Woodall has 5 primary reasons
for publishing her own books,
what she calls independent publishing.
1. Maintain control of decisions on the title,
color, and quality of the printing.
2. Expedite publishing.
3. Earn more money.
4. Keep the book in print longer.
5. Sell the books at seminars and give them
to her clients without having to buy the
book back from the publisher.

“I give my books away every chance I can as a
promotional tool for my company,” says
Woodall. “When I make a sales call as a speech
coach for executives, there is nothing better I
can leave behind than a copy of Speaking to a
Group. I couldn’t afford to do that if I had to buy
the book from the publisher.”
Woodall can get a book out in the time it takes
a publisher to make a decision whether or not
to buy your idea. She produced her book, How
To Talk So Men Will Listen, in just over 5 months.
Page 58 OCTOBER 2022 | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE
“The publishing itself is a manufacturing
process,” she contends. “There is nothing magical
about having a 3rd party say your material
is worth publishing. For too long, writers have
felt that their work isn’t validated unless a
major house publishes it. I’d like to destigmatize
independent publishing and encourage
more people to take advantage of it to get their
message out quickly and conveniently.”
To reduce time marketing
her books, Woodall
interests national organizations,
such as Toastmasters
International,
and small presses that
publish books in her
field of expertise to include
her book in their
publishing lists. “Thinking
On Your Feet sold to
10 catalogues around the
country, 2 library distributors, and a Canadian
one, plus I have just begun to interest chain
bookstores in buying it,” she says.

EARNING NEWSPAPER BYLINES
The standard way to get your company’s name
in the newspaper is to send a news release,
which smaller papers may print verbatim and
which larger ones may use as fodder for an article
that quotes you and several other sources.
For local publicity, there are alternatives.
The opinion-editorial page of your newspaper
is filled each day with guest editorials from persons
within your community who have something
significant to say on a particular topic.
Become familiar with that page. By following
the editorials, you may find that something has
been written that stirs your ire or makes you
want to add to or clarify a previously published
piece. That’s your cue to write to the editor to
share your insight in a field or your passion
about a topic.
Don’t view the opinioneditorial
page as just a
place to air grievances.
Its purpose is to express
thoughtful opinions on
a wide range of topics.
While unloading biases
may be cathartic while
you’re alone at your
computer, tomorrow
your potential customers are going to judge
your business by what you say. If you have a
particularly strong view on a subject, write the
piece and then let it cool for a day. Then ask an
unbiased colleague for his or her opinion. You
want your writing and your message to be
strong. Although hate mail may sell more
newspapers, it can turn off the business that it
is meant to attract.

FORUM WORKSHOP

The president of a major league baseball team
was concerned about a local opinion survey.
Area residents believed that the team was not
run in a business-like manner and that it cared
little for the community. One of the most intriguing
comments to come out of the study
came from a business leader who said that the
team was like a public utility – it was the only
baseball team in town. In other words, the team
didn’t care because it didn’t have to care.
Many steps had
been taken in the
previous years to
improve the business
operations of
the team, but they
had never been
communicated to
the public. Using a professional writer, the
president produced an opinion piece, which
was published in the local newspaper.
The piece began with a quote from Yogi Berra:
“If the people don’t want to come out to the
park, nobody’s going to stop them.” He cited
the public utility comment, but explained he
did not have a monopoly on the entertainment
dollar. The team competed not with the rest of
the league, but with other sporting events,
movies, plays, concerts, and museums.
After explaining the steps the team was taking
to improve its business operations, the president
concluded by stating his mission: to generate
a product that a public utility would be
proud of – a team so good that 99% of the people
want and need it.

Copies of the opinion piece were then circulated
with a note to important audiences of the
team, including government leaders who controlled
the stadium, season ticket holders, employees,
vendors, and members of the media.
In addition to occasionally responding to a
piece on the opinion-editorial page, consider
writing on an original topic. The nice part
about opinion pieces is that they are just that –
opinions. You don’t have to spend weeks doing
research or finding anecdotes to fill the pages
of a magazine. But you do need to have something
worthwhile to say that will show your integrity,
dedication, and
passion about your point
of view. Statistics that can
pin down points will add
muscle to your message.
To draw attention to his professional
society’s work to
help the homeless, for example,
the president of a psychiatric
society drafted a
letter to the editor on the plight of the homeless
in his city. He cited numbers of homeless, percentages
of those who suffered from mental illness,
and dollars being spent by the city to care
for them. He outlined what members of the society
were doing to help and how the entire city
could respond to impact the problem. The letter
helped to position the society on a topic important
to its constituents. And rather than assuming
that those who needed to know the
society’s position read the paper that morning,
the president sent copies of the editorial with
brief, personally written cover notes to key
players in the psychiatric field.

Daily newspapers traditionally only include
nonstaff or nonjournalist bylines in the opinion-editorial
section, but some community
newspapers, business publications, and daily
advertising supplements print bylined articles
from professionals. Submit your ideas to these
editors in a personalized query letter.
If you’re unsure what supplements a daily or
business newspaper has planned, call an editorial
assistant to find out. The newspaper may
have a yearly calendar listing its supplements.
Be certain that you learn who the editor is for
the supplement, because
it is often not the same
person who edits the regular
publication, and the
person may rotate on a
quarterly or yearly basis.
Sharon Lacy, the president of a family business
consulting firm, wrote the article, “Shaking
Loose Some Startup Cash from Your (Family)
Money Tree,” for a supplement of the San Diego
Business Journal. She paid Diane several hundred
dollars to edit an 800-word article. That
investment earned 3 new clients and several
supportive letters to the editor about her piece
that now supplements her new business packet
of promotional materials.
For a health care supplement
to the San Diego Business Journal,
Diane also ghostwrote 2
articles for her clients, owners
of an employee-assistance program in San
Diego. Diane pitched one article idea on helping
employees cope with catastrophic illness in
the workplace to the editor.

While on the phone selling that idea, the editor
liked what she heard about the company and
assigned a 2nd article on how to choose a doctor.
The articles positioned the company as a
leader in the field and included a brief bio on
each author. The $900 cost for ghostwriting 2
articles generated 2 bylined pieces that the
client has used to mail to prospective clients as
well as to serve as clippings to show trade journal
editors that they have a publishing track
record.
Blanketing the Market With White Papers
Writing a white paper or an overview
on a subject allows you to self-publish
an article or report that can be mailed
to key prospects or referrals in your
field to establish your credibility and
authority on a topic. They can also
Page 68 OCTOBER 2022 | RETAILERS FORUM MAGAZINE
preempt yet-to-be published articles in newspapers,
magazines, or trade journals to record
that you were the first to evaluate a problem in
a certain way or to identify key solutions. Remember,
however, that your white paper
should not be simply a copy of a manuscript
you have sent to a publication. Having potential
readers see your article prior to publication
does neither you nor the magazine any favors.
But it can be a report on the same topic with
some of the same statistics.
In some cases, you may simply send the paper
as an “FYI” to your target audience. This is a
way of keeping in touch and offering valuable
information on a topic. In other instances, white
papers are offered as incentives to your public
to take action, whether it be to fill out a survey or
to mail back a reply card in a direct mail order.

A human resource consultant offered a white
paper on gainsharing to company CEOs and
human resource directors, who took the time to
fill out and mail back a questionnaire surveying
what companies were looking
for in contract human
resource services. The offer,
coupled with the chance to
win a signed and numbered
lithograph, yielded a better
than 10% response rate.
As part of a direct mail campaign to bolster its
speakers’ bureau, one employee assistance
company offered 2 white papers – one on drug
abuse in the workplace and the other on avoiding
burnout – to anyone who mailed back a
business reply card requesting more detail on
its speakers.
MERCHANDISING YOUR WRITING
The primary way to get the most mileage from
a published article is to send it with cover letters
to potential prospects or to use it in new
business presentation packets. Articles can also
be mailed to current clients to offer useful information
on a topic of interest and to establish
your credibility.
Bylined articles or chapters from a book you’ve
written can also be used as handouts for
speeches or for college or extension courses
that you teach. Once the seminar attendee gets
back to his or her office and reviews materials
or shares it with the boss, wouldn’t you prefer
that key decision makers refer to your article on
the topic rather than one by some unknown author
who may be your competitor?

Best of all, the more you write on a topic, the
more you increase your chances of writing for
more and more prestigious publications. Bylines
beget bylines. Editors of major magazines
and publishing houses are more likely to take a
chance on having you write for them if you
have tested your talents
first in local newspapers
or trade journals.
Call attention to your publishing credentials in
your bio your company’s flyers and brochures.
An attorney, who was one of the first in the
country to conduct living trust seminars, marketed
a new breed of seminars by touting the
fact that articles quoting him had appeared in
such prestigious publications as Money, the
Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report and
Newsweek.
There’s No Trick to Finding Ghost Writers
If writing for you is, as a late New York Times
sportswriter put it, “easy ... you just sit down
at a typewriter and open a vein,” then the
tourniquet for you may be a ghost writer or collaborator.
There is a plethora of professional writers who
are eager to find good ghost-writing assignments.
Finding them just takes understanding
of how such writers get their work. A good
place to start is with a professional writers’ association
in your community. The library, bookstores,
university English or journalism
departments, or your local paper may know of
the writers’ organizations in your town. If not,
chances are a local public relations, marketing,
or advertising agency may know.

A number of professional societies include job
information hot lines or job referral services
that can match you with a writer who has special
expertise or understanding in your field.
Independent Writers of Southern California, for
example, has chapters in Los Angeles and San
Diego, both of which can give interested parties
the names and telephone numbers of scores of
good writers. Other independent writers’ organizations
exist throughout the country. Public
relations or other communications
professionals organizations,
such as PRSA (Public Relations
Society of America) or IABC (International
Association of Business
Communicators) also often
offer job lines that can carry
your need for a ghost writer.
Nationally, the American Society of Journalists
and Authors based in New York City features
Dial-a-Writer, a service that provides you with
the names and telephone numbers of writers
qualified to handle your project. You pay nothing
for the service; the writer pays a percentage
of the fee he or she earns.
Literary agents are another good source for
writers. Some agencies may give you the name
of several writers who can help you polish your
prose into a marketable work that the agent
would then try to sell. Journalism departments
at colleges and universities may employ professors
who write for consumer magazines and
books, or a professor may refer you to a prize
student.

The difference between a ghost writer and collaborator
is how visible the writer is on the
book jacket. Typically, a ghost writer is one
whose name doesn’t appear on the front of the
book but is included in an acknowledgment in
the first few pages of the book. A collaborator is
one who is recognized under the title as a coauthor
either with a byline that reads “By (Your
Name) and (Collaborator’s Name)“ or “By
(Your Name) with (Collaborator’s Name).“
No matter the prominence of the byline, writers
don’t come cheap. You may be lucky to find a
good, hungry writer who is trying to break into
magazines or book publishing who is willing
to work on the come. That person may settle for
a percentage of the fee once the work is sold.
But, typically, you’ll get to work that way only
once with that author.
Any writer who earns his
or her living writing soon
discovers that while he or
she is writing for nothing,
you, the expert, are earning
a living in your field.
You have an income and
a book. The writer has
only a byline. Recognizing
that writing is a profession
only if he or she can earn a living, a
good writer will charge an hourly or project fee
to ghostwrite or collaborate. Fees vary, but an
average hourly ranges between $35 and $75.
Magazine articles may be written for as little as
a few hundred to as much as several thousand
dollars. And book proposals’ flat fees can reach
as high as $3,000 to $5,000.

forumworkshop
Newsweek writer Charles Leerhsen, who wrote
Donald Trump’s 2nd autobiography, received
a fee that publishing sources say was in the mid
6 figures. Trump: Surviving at the Top was a collaboration
with a byline that read by Donald
Trump with Charles Leerhsen.
While Leerhsen received no
royalties with his big fee,
most writers not earning top
dollar will want a percentage
of the advance or royalties.
While you won’t want to
offer more than you can afford,
letting the writer have a
stake in the book’s outcome
generally guarantees that
more effort will go into producing
a top-quality work.
Getting published is an important variable in
the self-marketing success quotient. Don’t let
the excuse that you’re not a good writer prevent
you from earning a byline. What is essential
and can never be farmed out, however, is
your ability to present quality information and
ideas. Your material should spark an “ah ha” in
your readers and ignite them to reach greater
heights. If you can prompt someone else to succeed,
then you will have too.
Our next article will include:
A review of Top Self-Marketing Secrets
and a new topic:
