Email Campaigns

An email marketing campaign is a fast, efficient and cost effective way to get your promotion into libraries across the UK and continental Europe. We target your chosen selection of libraries with your promotional HTML creative and Text version email. Selections of libraries can be made by subject interest, library type and country. Please contact us for an immediate email list count and quotation.

Your email campaign will be sent by The European Database of Libraries as we do not disclose our email addresses to any third party. The email ‘From' name and address will be ‘The European Database of Libraries'. We offer you the subject line, choice of deployment date and time where possible. We reserve the right to protect the librarian and their inbox from excessive email targeting and therefore may ask that the deployment date or time is altered.

We ask you to allow 5 business days from initial enquiry to enable us to meet your target deployment date. We will send you a test email for you to check that the set up is correct. After review, we ask for your approval before going ahead. Once the email campaign has been sent, we will send you a link to our online, real time reporting page so that you can track open and click through response performance.
