Marketing Minor Parties
Marketing minor parties
The majority of literature on marketing parties focuses on major parties. However increasingly research is exploring the use of marketing by smaller parties, as technological advances make the tools of marketing less expensive and more available to organisations with less resources. In this section we list some examples of studies focused on marketing by minor parties, but please do a search by minor party name on the whole site as material may be listed under other categories.
