<p class="MsoNormal">Hello –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recently joined my local library’s Friends group (Orion Township) and am going to (attempt!) to assist with PR/Marketing efforts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I looked online but didn’t come across an active list-serve or forum type environment to query public library friends group, so I am hopeful I can get some feedback this way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(FOML website seems to be defunct).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have a moment to respond to the below – or find out the responses from your Friends group –
<b><i>I’d greatly appreciate it!<o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><o:p> </o:p></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><b><i><span style="mso-list:Ignore">1.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></i></b><![endif]>What type of email marketing service is your Friends of the Library utilizing to capture emails and market (ie Benchmark, Constant Contact, etc.) – and do you pay?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">We currently use Benchmark – free – but have been having many issues and are looking to possibly change.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><![if !supportLists]><b><i><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></i></b><![endif]>What type of social media is your Friends of the Library group utilizing AND what medium have they seen the most success?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">They only have an active Facebook group currently. Curious if it would be worth it to market on twitter, Instagram, etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks in advance -<o:p></o:p></p>
