LIANZA – Expressions of interest requested for MARKETING THE LIBRARY workshops
I am requesting expressions of interest for a series of Marketing the Library workshops, planned for October through to December 2011.
The planning for this workshop is a little different in that the presenters have elected to deliver a maximum of seven events as follows – Wellington – two workshops Auckland – one workshop Hamilton – one workshop Dunedin – one workshop Christchurch – one workshop Provincial town to be determined – one workshop.
We have made the assumption that we will achieve break even numbers in the main centres with just the provincial town to determine depending on interest.
If you reside outside the main centres and would like to see the workshop run in your area, use your professional networks to gather participant numbers and email me.
Please read the following information, complete the response form and email it back to me as soon as possible.
Expressions of interest will close on Monday 29th August.

COURSE CONTENT
The aim of this workshop is to demystify “marketing speak” and equip you with some creative, practical examples of how to market your Library. Topics covered will include marketing concepts and different ways to promote and advocate for your library. If you don’t know much about marketing, our aim is to empower you – so you can be a confident and effective marketer. Bring along an open mind, some examples of what you currently do, or would like to do in the future, to make your library more engaging, entertaining and relevant in today’s 21st century and beyond. There will be plenty of time to share ideas and an opportunity for you to learn some clever hands on marketing solutions, whatever your budget.
