Ann Arbor, MI - Edelweiss by Above the Treeline today announced plans to host the first comprehensive virtual book launch, which will allow book publishers to access its new technology platform to ignite interest and sales of new titles among publishers, bookstores, libraries, and influencers.
Publishers will have the ability to leverage the extensive buyer community built by Edelweiss in a neutral setting to highlight authors and titles, encourage networking, and provide a platform to build interest in new release sales.
Initially, four events are planned and will be available for exclusive sponsorship. Up to three titles will be included for each event with the opportunity to add additional titles on a customized basis. Edelweiss will execute a wide-reaching marketing program to ensure engagement before, during, and after the event. Sponsorships will be available on a first come, first served basis. The platform has been developed by Edelweiss in conjunction with 365 MEDIA, a highly regarded expert in the virtual event industry.
