Where to Showcase Your Guide
So, what are the best ways to get an e-book or recruitment guide in the hands of your members? We’ve highlighted our best practices recommendations below.
Direct email campaign: This is one of the most successful channels in distributing the guide. Let your members know about what the guide can provide and how to use it as a tool in their career exploration. Have a career center? This is a great time to highlight it as an ongoing resource.
Current E-newsletter: Can’t send out a dedicated email? Showcase the guide in one of your current communications. You can link a banner or place a small blurb about the guide in an existing email.
Conference & Conference App: If you are providing a print version of the guide during your Conference, consider placing it in multiple locations. In welcome bags, at your resource hub, and at career related sessions are great places to display the guide. You can also embed the digital version in your Conference app for easy access.
Website and Career Center: Place banners that link to the digital guide on your website and career center. These sites receive lots of traffic from your members and are another way to provide exposure and receive more views (great for employer ROI).
Social Media: Social media is a powerful marketing tool. You know your members and what channels are most successful, but LinkedIn and Facebook prove to be successful avenues in promoting the guide.
