SUMMARY:Spring Marketing Campaign Brainstorming
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, Parkland has undertaken several regional marketing initiatives. The Golden Ticket Contest in October and Library Card Sign-Up Month in September have had great participation and feedback from member libraries. Having another contest or campaign earlier in the year would add some consistency to the marketing efforts of libraries. We’re looking for your feedback to determine if this is something libraries would be interested in\, and what and how to run a campaign that will make the biggest impact for our member libraries. \nAnyone in charge of their library’s marketing efforts or interested in marketing should join us for this brief feedback and brainstorming meeting. \nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 292 427 786 009 15\nPasscode: LN2Hr7Fn
