Description:
In the old days, a well-written press release and a

time where people expect to receive information through their preferred
communication channels. With so many options and limited staff and time, what
can a library do?
* Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Tumblr and Instagram.
Your library hardly has enough time to create print and web promotional materials
- how can you possibly add more marketing channels?
* Your Facebook presence only has a handful of
followers, should you keep going or give up?
* Is there one marketing channel or a combination that
is right for your library?
If your library is struggling to answer these and
other questions around multichannel marketing, then you will want to join this
webinar. Nancy Dowd, co-author of Bite-Sized Marketing, Realistic Solutions for
Overwork Librarians will help library staff sift through the confusion of
multi-channel marketing to determine a pathway that is right for your needs.
You will learn to understand the different communication styles needed for each
channel and hear about pathways other libraries are implementing.
At the end of this one-hour webinar, participants
will:
* Understand multichannel marketing and why it is
relevant to their success
* Know the four steps to the minimal marketing process
* Understand the difference between content calendar
and cross promotion strategies and how to implement each for your library
* Identify three key steps required for authentic
conversations on social media
* Be able to identify the top three communication
channels that are right for your library
* Be able to outline a multichannel communication plan
for at least one program, product or service

responsible for promoting any program, product or service.
