Harnessing the Power of Social Marketing to Build a Better World

EPIPNational

As philanthropists we hope to change the world, but how we do that is often less clear. One option for building a better world is harnessing the power of marketing for social good. Many believe traditional marketing intrinsically corrupts or undermines social philosophy, however the field of social marketing proves that belief false. Social marketing is a social science framework geared towards changing people's behaviors for the betterment of individuals or society. This webinar focuses on the philanthropic application of social marketing and how the Chesapeake Bay Trust, a non-profit grant-making organization, advances the adoption of social marketing principles in the Chesapeake Bay Region.

With a little help from our friends

Libby Post

Friends groups are nonprofit organizations that support public libraries through fundraising, advocacy, and programming. They have their own boards and budgets to organize events and raise money to supplement the library's operating funds. Effective friends groups build strong relationships with library staff and trustees to determine the community's needs and collaborate on initiatives. Fundraising, outreach, and strategic planning are essential to recruit members and donors and make a positive impact.

NCompass Live: Program Planning with a Marketing Mindset

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - April 10, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Libraries have been offering programming for decades, and in many cases the model has been, "Let’s plan a program, promote it, and see who shows up." This approach hasn’t changed much, even with social and technological changes, not to mention the pandemic and streaming programs. Program planning with a marketing mindset starts with identifying your customer’s needs and wants, then developing programs and services to meet those needs and wants. We’ll discuss how to use research – quantitative and qualitative – to plan and market programs that will engage your customers. We’ll talk about "bundling" programs and services for different audience segments. We’ll also cover how this more strategic approach can save time and resources for your library. Presenter: Cordelia Anderson, Library Marketing and Communications Consultant, Cordelia Anderson Consulting.

Nebraska Library Commission

NCompass Live - January 17, 2024 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Have you wondered if your library's website needs some work? How do you decide that, without being subjective?

There are many current standards for content, images, navigation, usability, and more that can be readily applied to your website, allowing for a more objective analysis of what you currently have. A website audit can provide a valuable framework, especially before beginning a full or even partial redesign of your library's site. Learn about data-based principles that can guide your future work and discover some tools that can provide concrete specifics for elements that may need attention. Presenter: Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal.
