The hope for today
You leave here
knowing you
can think like a
marketer, and
that you’ve got
actions to try at
work tomorrow!
![Page 4: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Engaging your people so they
understand who you are, what
you do, and what it’s worth to them
What exactly do
we mean by
marketing
libraries?
![Page 5: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
To increase awareness, respect,
understanding, footfall, online use,
the number of resources used or
the amount resources are used?
Etc, etc.
And what do
we, as librarians,
want to get
out of it?
![Page 6: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Simple messages, tweaked for
different audiences, delivered across the right platforms, on an on-going basis.
And what is the
best way to
achieve
this?

Simple messages, tweaked for
different audiences, delivered across the right platforms, on an on-going basis.
Easy, right?
And what is the
best way to
achieve
this?

Part 1: Marketing Principles
Eight steps to
thinking like a
library marketer
![Page 9: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1. Put yourself in your
audience’s shoes
![Page 10: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Put yourself in your audience’s shoes
(The key thing to remember is,
that’s not just one pair of shoes.)
![Page 11: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Put yourself in your
audience’s shoes
![Page 12: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
(If you can’t do this yet, go out and do the market research. One of the key things about marketing successfully is to survey your users BEFORE as well as after you make changes.)
![Page 13: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What does it
take to make
you actually
ACT on a
piece of
marketing?
![Page 14: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Do you go out and buy Mayo as soon as you see an ad?
Probably not.
![Page 15: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
(No one ever rushed out
of a NASCAR race to go
buy some mayo.)
![Page 16: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aim to build ambient
awareness of your business as
the authoritative source of [X],
rather than expecting people
to act on your promotion right
away.

2. MAKE A PLAN
![Page 18: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
From the Library
Marketing Toolkit
![Page 19: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
From the Library
Marketing Toolkit
If you start and end here, your marketing will probably disappoint you!

3. Put a number on it
![Page 21: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THE AIM: to increase football by 10% (1000 people) this year.
![Page 22: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
THE AIM: to increase football by 10% (1000 people) this year.
“I’m going to get 200 new parents and
kids using the Library.
I’m going to get 100 additional senior
citizens using the Library.
I’m going to get 100 more small
business / entrepreneurs using the
Library.
And I’m going to get 600 more entries
from existing users.”
![Page 23: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
STRATEGIZE.
(Your competitors – Amazon,
Google, bookstores, Netflix, etc,
are all marketing strategically.)
![Page 24: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
4. Bring your team with you
![Page 25: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Top tips for getting buy-in from all levels:
A: Chunking information is important The more senior the person you’re
talking to, the less detail they want.*
*Generally speaking
![Page 26: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Top tips for getting buy-in from all levels:
B: Words… not so much
![Page 27: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Top tips for getting buy-in from all levels:
C: The easiest way to get someone to
do something is to link it explicitly
with their own aims….
![Page 28: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Top tips for getting buy-in from all levels:
D: Above all, if you
can empower
people, do.
![Page 29: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5. SIMPLIFY your message
![Page 30: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
(It’s not what
you have, it’s
what you DO.
Benefits not
features.)
![Page 31: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
e.g. don’t call the workshop ‘RSS feeds’ – call it ‘Keeping up to date online’.
Don’t talk about how you ‘subscribe to
30 databases’, talk about how you ‘provide access to high quality scholarly
information Google cannot find’.
![Page 32: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Open question:
Can you think of one
piece of promotion you
could reimagine to talk
BENEFITS rather than
features?
![Page 33: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Solo librarians: if you
only have time to
market one or two
things, focus on the
things you love.
![Page 35: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Prioritise the key messages.
Did you know the Apple Store sold these..?
![Page 36: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Prioritise the key messages.
Did you know the Apple Store sold these..?
Chances are you didn’t, because Apple doesn’t go
on about EVERYTHING it sells in its store – it basically
says ‘here’s how our offering fits in with the lifestyle you
aspire to’ and leaves you to discover the rest if you’re
interested.
Simplicity sells.
![Page 37: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
6. Dress it up for different audiences
![Page 38: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The same key message, expressed in different contexts.
“We’re now open later, so you can
relax after work in our café”
“We’re now open later, so your kids
have somewhere safe and creative to
go after school”
“We’re now open later, so you can get
online and find your next job”
“We’re now open later, so you can
study at a time which suits you”
The Wifi generation
The parents
The digitally divided
The scholars
![Page 39: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
7. Market the
out of it…
![Page 40: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Multiple platforms, old and
new. It means you
capture more people,
and those on two or more
of the platforms get the
message reinforced.
![Page 41: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
8. Measure it, evaluate it, then
DO IT AGAIN
![Page 42: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Hello again,
marketing cycle…
Measuring it, evaluating it, then continuing the cycle – that’s what makes this marketing!
![Page 43: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
End of part one: any questions?
![Page 44: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Part 2: Marketing ACTIONS
Choosing the
right tool to
communicate
![Page 45: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Word of mouth
![Page 46: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Word of mouth KEY FACTORS
67% of all consumer decisions are primarily influenced
by word of mouth. It’s a vital marketing tool.
The aim is to influence an influencer. Give them the
tools they need to spread the message. Hell, give
them the message! Make it EASY.
You may need several influencers – people need to
be told how good the library is by people similar to
them.
![Page 48: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Honda are the biggest selling car manufacturer in the world, but their marketing doesn’t mention that. They don’t say ‘we have something for everyone’ as their main message.
![Page 49: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Their main message is designed to inspire people rather than to keep everyone happy.
![Page 50: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
![Page 51: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Email KEY FACTORS
This time, it’s PERSONAL. Make people feel like YOU
are emailing THEM.
Regularly scheduled emails don’t feel targetted –
email when you have something to say.
Subject line is HUGELY important. Time of day is
somewhat important. Dividing up your audience is
desirable.
![Page 52: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Website KEY FACTORS
Key info ABOVE THE FOLD.
Give people actions. Things to watch, or do, or listen
to, or book, or download, or more of your Library’s
online activity to investigate.
Video is essential and it may be a lot more
achievable than you think...

Social media KEY FACTORS
Do one thing at a time, properly. Start with Twitter
and then Facebook.
What matters is not how good the tool is, it’s whether
your particular audience will engage with it.
It’s not a broadcast, it’s a conversation…
![Page 57: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)

When it comes to marketing
online, what separates the
pretenders from the real thing is
a CALL TO ACTION.
![Page 61: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)

We’ve always been product
orientated; now we need to be
market-orientated.
![Page 63: Marketing Libraries: What the not-for-profits can learn from the lots-of-profits!](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051311/53f371418d7f728e318b4659/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Don’t wait for people to come
to you; go to where your users
are.

Summing

If you’ve not got a plan, here’s
the first steps to making one:
1) Write down what you want to achieve
2) Get to know your market – what do you they need?

4) Market that message to different groups across lots of platforms
5) See 1 though 4 again (and again)
