Unique marketing campaign idea
by Maggie McKeithan 31 Jul '23

31 Jul '23

For the last two weeks, we've been promoting our Friends t-shirts and tote bags fundraiser. Like many of you, we are doing our best to create unique marketing with the limited time we have to spend. I just want to shout out my library staff, who came up with the great idea of using our pets as "models" for the t-shirts and bags. It's really generated interest and funding so that the Friends can make a contribution to our upcoming renovation project. Here are a few of our social media posts for the campaign: https://tinyurl.com/bdcw9ecc https://tinyurl.com/bdhyxpr8 P.S. If you need to add an adorable library shirt or tote to your growing collection, today is the last day to order one here: https://trophyhousebrands.chipply.com/sllibrary/ Thanks for letting me brag on my staff! Cute pet pictures to follow.
