Description

Week 12 Discussion 1: Social Media Weekly Discussion: Social Media Marketing Plan

Due: Post your response by end of Day 4, and reply to at least two of your classmates’ posts by end of Day 7 Social media can be a very effective tool to connect with, engage, and excite library patrons and promote library programs, resources, and services. In this week’s assignment, please develop a social media marketing plan to promote the proposed new technology offering at your library. In your plan, please address the following questions: • What are your marketing strategies and goals? • What is your main message / story of this new offering? • Which social media platforms you will employ and why? Please identify at least two.  • Who is your target audience for each type of social media channel? • How the content is generated and shared across platforms? • What is your staffing plan or staff training efforts to help you reach that goal?

• How will you assess the outcomes of the plan? ________________________________________ Below are two social media marketing campaigns that won the 2017 California Library Association PR Excellence Award: 1.
