Book publishers are operating in a world that is increasingly digital, technical, and global—a world that is each day more interconnected. This reality introduces a host of new opportunities for publishers to reach new readers in markets around the world. It also introduces a host of new challenges, requiring publishers to understand and market directly to consumers in ways they have never needed to before.

In 2015, Livres Canada Books published Using Audience-Centric Digital Marketing to Drive Global Book Sales, a report written by the Logical Marketing Agency that introduced digital marketing as a repeatable process and identified the core tools necessary to optimize and maximize author and book properties for global discovery across the Web.

Global Digital Book Marketing: Advanced Strategies and Tactics for Building International Book Campaigns takes that foundation to the next level. Building on the research and techniques demonstrated in the prior report, it will help Canadian book publishers develop a deeper and more sophisticated understanding of global digital marketing today. It takes an in-depth look at the strategies, tactics, and tools Canadian book publishers need to stay ahead of the curve across key areas of digital marketing, including the following.

• Audience Research and Segmentation
• Social Media Marketing
• Inbound Marketing and Website Development
• Retail Channel Optimization

Finally, the report maps these core digital marketing best practices back to traditional book marketing to help publishers of all sizes apply global audience insight to marketing, publicity, and sales activities across the house.
