Hi!
I'm looking for advice from other Mailchimp users on tagging and segmentation. Ours could be way better! How are other presses segmenting their audiences to target the subscribers who will be most interested in the content of an email? Or are y'all sending most emails to your whole…[Read more]

We stopped Twitter/X as of December and are also focussing on Bluesky, Facebook, and Instagram.

Things are off to a good start on Bluesky and the starter packs really help.

We stopped Twitter/X a few months ago, we are doing Bluesky and Facebook. Our engagement in Bluesky is about what we were seeing on X, honestly maybe a little bit better actually. Happy to chat more directly ; )

Thank you in advance!

As you may be aware, X (formerly Twitter) recently announced a change in its terms of service indicating that, as of November 15, all posts and content can be used to train its AI models. (There appears to be an opt-out option for those in the EU due to more stringent privacy regulations, but not for those outside…[Read more]

I was in a webinar recently that brought up the journal indexer Dimensions. The person mentioned that any journal that is in Crossref is automatically indexed in Dimensions. I registered for and created my account and sure enough, all of our Press' titles are listed in Dimensions. I was wondering if anybody else out there in the UP…[Read more]

You've given me a lot to think about.

I'll be sharing your comments with her.

I think most of the UPs have that issue, and it's been a challenge with so many different options popping up as the landscape changes. I wish I could do a lot more than what I have the time to do. I use a lot of templated designs and language, and use AI to help with hashtags and writing content, and there's still not enough time to do…[Read more]

I appreciate how much time you spend on this work. Our resources are limited because our staff is so small, so it can be difficult to know what is worth the effort and what isn't.

I'm curious as to what is prompting these discussions or what information your press is after. Social media is a big part of marketing for publishers and across all industries for branding and more.  At ColumbiaUP, I  have a breakdown of each platform and why we use it. The major reasons for using social media are branding and r…[Read more]

At UNC Press, social media is a major part of our marketing strategy and we devote a lot of time to monitoring, posting, creating graphics, strategizing, working with authors on their own social media efforts, etc. Most of our content is related to media coverage for books and authors, events, awards, conferences, blog posts, new and…[Read more]

This is a general question regarding the use of social media at your presses. How much time do you devote on a weekly basis to creating and posting content on your various social media platforms? What sort of content are you posting? And finally, how worthwhile do you feel the use of social media is for your press's…[Read more]
