- First Stat: This is based on the US but China is even more than this.
In the USA we are seeing that consumers want to be part of the conversation.
Opportunity for digital publishers; 2 way flow of communication (brand & consumer)
Why online communities? Power in numbers, your virtual reach. Increase brand/title awareness, targeting if not exact ability to locate your qualified buyers online. Proactive rather than reactive.
