Description
Book marketing creates awareness for a specific book among booksellers and consumers. The goal of marketing is to generate book sales. In general, the function of a book marketing department in a traditional publishing house is to help the various sales departments get your book in front of bookstore buyers, book distributors and other channels, to make sure your book is available and (ideally) displayed and promoted through them to the consumer public.
Book marketers also generally oversee online consumer promotion (in some houses this falls to the publicity department). As many elements of book marketing such as special advance sales materials, point-of-sale displays, advertising, etc. cost money, the marketing plan is done in the context of the estimated marketing budget for the book.
