This session was originally released as part of EveryLibrary’s virtual online Library Advocacy and Funding Conference, LAFCON 2020.
Marketing your library can feel daunting. Even overwhelming. You know you need to do it, but aren't sure where to start, or what channels to use, or how to even know if you're doing it right.
Have you ever asked yourself:
- Does my library need an Instagram page? TikTok? Facebook? Pinterest?
- Do I need to create content? And what kind?
- How do I get more people in the door? And participating in more events?
- And most importantly: How do I make sure I'm getting the funding my library deserves?
Good news - I'm here to help!
My name is Kimberly Gordon, and I have more than 12 years of experience helping brands get attention from their most important audiences. I believe effective marketing requires equal parts of heart and data. You need both to make sure you bring in the right kind of customers at the right price.
In this session, I'll teach you how to take a strategic approach to set your library apart from the others and tell that story consistently and creatively across all of your marketing channels.
In my session, you'll learn how to:
- Craft a brand story
- Differentiate from competitors
- Build a marketing plan and determine a budget
- Launch, test, optimize your channels
My curriculum will be easy to digest and incredibly actionable. You won't find any esoteric musing, corporate jargon, or theoretical advice in this session.
You'll walk away with a solid plan for solving current marketing challenges while making smart decisions to ensure you can reach your future business goals.
