The #LibraryMarketing Show, Episode 162: This episode is my response to a recent comment by a library staffer. They believe that marketing emails aren’t worth their time because people receive too many emails from brands.
That’s a common misconception. I’ll explain why it’s not true and share some tips for making sure your library marketing emails get opened and clicked on!

I agree with you 100%. Our most effective communication tool is our e-newsletters. Including a compelling subject line is critical. I think of them as a billboard or headline to create interest to open the email. I also started targeting my emails and have increased my open rate to almost 50%. All of our emails also show they are from the Grosse Pointe Public Library and people come in and ask to be added to the email list so they know what’s going on at the library.

Sorry to go meta on this video, but I wanted to say THANK YOU for linking here rather than directly to YouTube in the blog email. It’s too easy to go down rabbit holes when I’m on YouTube. Linking here kept me on the straight & narrow. 😉
