practical marketing tips for maximizing sales as a result of your
award nomination. The webinar ties public relations, social media, and sales
strategies together to engage consumers and retailers. ECPA partners with many retailers and organizations to market the Christian Book Award® finalists and winners but it is clear that promotion efforts from WITHIN our member houses are both valuable and critical in successfully raising the awareness of these great titles to the consumer. For this reason, ECPA set out to gird our publishing members with tangible tools and resources for providing low-cost, effective strategies for marketing finalists and winners. To make this a reality, ECPA partnered with the largest web & event network and marketing service reaching the faith and family values audience, FrontGate, and invited their President Scott Shuford to create a practical and informative resource for marketing, PR and sales teams at our member houses. Even if a publisher doesn’t have a book that is an Awards finalist, these tips are so practical and the principles so applicable, that people will find them to be beneficial. Scott and FrontGate are a leader in serving Christian publishers and authors via advertising, public relations, and social media. FrontGate is a two time Best Website Award recipient in Internet Advertising Competition in 2013 & 2011, and received two Standard of Excellence Awards in the 2012 WebAwards, in the Marketing & Faith-based categories. Previously, Scott served as a principal in the ad agency he co-founded consistently launching successful, innovative campaigns for notable companies such as IHOP, World Vision, Initium Eyewear, Krikorian Premier Theaters, and Orange County Teachers Federal Credit Union, and with their award-winning work for Del Taco. Scott started his career in 1989 as a buyer for Berean Christian Stores. Recordings are available to ECPA members only. Contact Cindy Carter.
Publishers Beware of State Tax Land Mines in Doing Business with Third Parties
Held July 10, 2012 at 1 PM EST -- Led by Martin I. Eisenstein, Senior Partner, Brann & Isaacson Many publishers do business with third parties, such as contracting with sales representatives, using fulfillment houses to store and deliver books, selling on consignment, and using third party platforms for receiving and fulfilling the sale of ebooks. Each of these relationships can create nexus for state tax purposes and, therefore, expose publishers to significant tax exposure. Mr. Eisenstein, an expert in the field of state and local tax, will discuss the state risks in these relationships and ways to reduce those risks. RECORDED PRESENTATION AVAILABLE TO ECPA MEMBERS AND WEBINAR ATTENDEES.
TAX EXPOSURE FROM eBOOK SALES: AGENCY MODEL, WHOLESALE MODEL AND RELATED TAX NEXUS ISSUES
Martin I. Eisenstein, Senior Partner, Brann & Isaacson; Recorded on Tuesday, January 11, 2011 -- 11 am ET Publishers know that selling eBooks involves converting files and grappling with DRM, among other challenges. But selling eBooks also may generate new tax exposure for publishers, in part depending on the distribution model and distributors/platforms for sale of your eBooks. And, this new exposure can potentially reach beyond the eBook transactions themselves to create broader tax exposure for other sales by the publisher. On January 11, tax attorney Martin Eisenstein of the firm Brann & Isaacson will lead an informative webinar in which he explains tax nexus, describes how the nexus rules apply to eBooks sales, and discusses best practices publishers can utilize to reduce tax exposure.
