DESCRIPTION
A discussion of social media and other online marketing initiatives that have helped the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Arts Japan 2020 and other cultural entities to grow customer loyalty, boost revenues, and raise awareness about programs and services.

At a time when the glut of online content has become overwhelming, cost-efficient strategies that allow modestly-budgeted organizations to thrive are increasingly essential. Organizations of all sizes can learn from the achievements of small cultural entities that have exploited nuances of the online marketing sphere to outperform their larger competitors in key categories.
