An interest in the China Book Printing firm' s books and the ability to identify the editorial reasoning and sales potential are necessary. Creativity is needed in originating ideas for promoting a wide range of titles, as well as an understanding of the relationships between costs and expected sales in maximizing the profit.
Good personal relations inside the company and outside the company are vital, as are administrative and planning skills. The development of promotional material engages copywriting (which can be learnt by literate people who appreciate the different styles demanded for different lists and books), editorial, production and DTP skills. In direct mail promotion or selling, the marketer acts like a detective: working out where the people are and how to reach them. PR work involves living on one' s wits, exchanging favours with the media, establishing a rapport and trust with all kinds of media and authors, knowing when to hype and when to hold back, being able to talk oneself in and out of situations fast, having supreme self-confidence and a high tolerance of rude people and working anti-social hours.
Advertisements usually appear two to four months ahead of publication so that the sales force has time to follow up. The non-consumer book publishers advertise selectively in specialist magazines, and journals (especially their own): ostensibly to sell books, but also to please authors and attract new ones. The main tasks involved in advertising are conceiving selling ideas from editorial concepts, relating advertising to the other promotions, copywriting and working with the designer or agency, negotiating the best rates and positions, and maintaining tight budgetary control.
