Electronic Marketing
Organizer: Tony Sanfilippo, Assistant Director and Marketing and Sales Director, Penn State University Press
Description: With fewer available resources and increasing economic pressure, presses are looking for the most efficient ways to market their titles to the broadest audiences possible. The Web provides many opportunities for book marketing, but how do we know which efforts are worth the time and which might be little more than the next Orkut? In this workshop we will explore various strategies and venues available for Web marketing and book promoting and talk to vendors and publishers about which choices have brought success and which may not be worth pursuing.
