Conventional business marketing often suggests that the primary function of business is to market a product in order to maximize efficiency and profit. In How to Market the Arts: A Practical Approach for the 21st Century, expert authors Anthony Rhine and Jay Pension propose a new paradigm to better explain how nonprofit arts marketing can and should work. How to Market the Arts provides a history of both nonprofit arts and critical marketing concepts to show how standard methods of marketing are ill-suited for the nonprofit arts industry. Through visual models and case studies of several arts organizations, the book offers instead a practical look at how this industry might adopt more holistic marketing strategies that better reflect their true function which is often to serve communities over persuading consumers. Rhine and Pensionoffer a theoretical framework for reconsidering the nature of nonprofit arts marking, as well as useful steps an organization might take to increase its value to a community and develop a broader audience base.
