SIAM Book Marketing

Working Non-stop to Build Sales for Every SIAM Title

SIAM’s marketing effort for each of the 20-25 titles we publish every year begins long before the book comes off the press. From the very start of the editorial process, SIAM’s editors and marketing staff work with authors and plan how to target the specific readership for each book. Using a variety of tools – including print advertising, direct mail, conference exhibits and online displays – they design a program to give each book its highest possible profile within the applied and computationl mathematics community.

Here are just some of the ways that SIAM communicates to individuals, institutions, booksellers and the academic world about its prestigious book program:

How are SIAM books promoted?

  1. Through targeted direct mail to more than 1,000 book distributors and libraries throughout the world
  2. Through carefully targeted direct mail for textbooks that pinpoints hundreds of professors, their courses and currents texts, and matches new SIAM titles to the instructors most likely to adopt them.
  3. Through an easily accessed online request system for distribution of desk and examination copies to faculty.
  4. Through discounted sales to SIAM members.
  5. Through the SIAM website.
  6. Through online partners including Amazon.com.
  7. Through a partnership with Cambridge University Press.
