   Reading is down as other activities compete for
    reader’s attention (like time spent on the internet)

   Understanding how our consumers engage in
    these other activities provide opportunities for
    publishers to promote/advertise their
    authors/products successfully

   We have to look at each of our consumer
    segments closely as only they can tell us how they
    like to engage with our products, Consumer
    allows you to collect this feedback; Point of Sale

Notas del editor

  1. Welcome to Book Expo America, my name is James Howitt Director of Client Solutions for PubTrack Consumer
  2. Note this is Book Buyers, when we look at Population Reading books drops to 3 hours!Newspapers up because of election, tv is down also. growth in online
  3. Reading has become a more occasional thing to do as other activities compete
  4. So we know that we are reading less what impact does this have on book buyer….even I got an email from eHarlequin yesterday
  5. 2 thirds are purchased by women
  6. Book Buyers are well in line with the US population, we are often very New York centric in our view of the US
  7. We can focus on the largest buying segments but we must not forget the 18-29yrs as they represent 27% of the buyers.
  8. Long tail of additional genres these women buy
  9. Almost a quarter from ecommerce for 30-54
  10. It shows not only the importance of the internet but also how retailers are connecting with their customers better. With the other more traditional techniques while they create awareness there is definitely a disconnect between the message and the actual transaction
  11. In this arena the dust hasn’t settled, will kindle be the dominate device for reading ebooks. This is being tracked monthly, and hence we are the closest organisation to how the kindle is being adopted
  12. Its from a small base but Matures are more likely now to adopt e-books now the kindle is available.
  13. This is valuable feedback for the author and editorial team in franchise development.
