A Study on Social Marketing in the Publishing Industry: The Case of the Small Press
Project Description
Black Rose Books would like to commission a study on the use and impact of social marketing platforms such as Facebook and Twitter in the Canadian publishing industry, and particularly for the small press. We are also seeking a guide to best practices that could be implemented in our day to day affairs.
We would use the study to help create a marketing strategy using social media, allowing us to get our ideas out to a larger audience. The idea is to empower small presses with the tools required to compete in an increasingly concentrated publishing industry.
