Abstract: | Publishing has traditionally been an introspective industry, and while this is gradually changing, there is a need for publishers
to adopt a more market-led approach. This requires the development of branding strategies to increase levels of recognition
and consumer loyalty among the book buying public. The nature of the book as a product presents difficulties in applying branding
theory to the industry and this study provides an insight into the issues involved in branding the imprint and the author
and examines how some trade publishers are addressing these issues. The study also examines the public perception of brands
within the trade sector and examines how much impact publishers’ brands have made with the consumer. |
