You might consider approaching local bookstores to do readings and/or signings. These types of events let potential readers meet you, and people who might otherwise pass over your book may decide to pick it up. (I have purchased books due to reading/signing events that I would never have purchased otherwise.) Additionally, the bookstore may order more of your book than they otherwise would have, in preparation for the event.

If you do decide to try this, don't limit yourself to the big stores. There are still a few independent bookstores in most metropolitan areas, and they may be more open to hosting an event, especially by a local author.
