From working at public service desks to planning and providing instruction sessions, marketing is likely the last thing on your mind at the end of the day. Library Journal's March 2021 Public Library Marketing Survey found that three-quarters of the responding libraries reported that staff members take marketing tasks on as an additional responsibility. On the other hand, the report found that nearly all libraries collect email addresses from their patrons. In these statistics, we see a problem (librarians need an easy way to promote services!) and an answer (email marketing!) - you've got the information, now let's put it to use.
Whether you've been sending monthly newsletters for years or are just starting to think about email marketing, we'd like to offer some tips for refreshing (or creating!) a well-designed email that acts as a bridge to the information and resources that matter the most to your library.
Customizing the mobile vs desktop view of an email is one of the best ways to keep your email marketing looking fresh, regardless of where your patrons are viewing emails.
LibConnect is now integrated with LibCal, LibAnswers, and LibGuides - making it incredibly simple to add content from all of Springshare's apps into an email campaign.
Three steps and you're done!
