Book Purchase Bonus Reward Template

Use this Book Purchase Bonus Reward template to drive book sales by offering a special bonus to people who purchase a book.

Invite readers to purchase a book from your preferred store, submit their proof of purchase, and unlock an exclusive reward that makes your offer far more compelling.

This campaign helps you convert on-the-fence browsers into buyers by pairing every purchase with a clear, valuable incentive. You can offer bonus chapters, workbooks, audio content, or discounts on future purchases to create a powerful reason to purchase a book now instead of later.

Turn Book Purchases Into Superfans

  • Set Simple Instructions: Explain where to buy the book and how to submit the invoice or receipt.
  • Reassure Buyers: Mention that all valid purchases during the campaign period are eligible.
  • Follow Up After Purchase: Send readers a thank-you message and invite them to stay engaged with future releases.
