A powerful marketing strategy you can afford!
 
Not only can your library afford Word-of-Mouth marketing (WOMM), you can also deliver a more compelling message than commercial brands with this proven system in place. Learn how to package your library's successes so people absolutely must tell their friends and neighbors. 
 
This is more than just a workshop.
  • Join us on September 4th to learn the principles and strategies of WOMM and to begin developing your Word-of-Mouth Marketing Plan. 
  • After the workshop, you will have the opportunity to share your WOMM plan with your peers and put it to work.
  • Peggy Barber will be available for long-distance consulting as you implement your plan from September 2014 through February 2015.
  • On March 5, 2015 we will hold another workshop with Peggy to share your plans, experience and results.
We want you to "graduate" convinced that WOMM is a positive endeavor that you can use to connect your library with the community you serve, build a buzz, increase pride, appreciation, support, and turn customers into champions.
