Marketing</span></strong><b><br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Wednesday, April 21st at 2 pm</span></strong></b></a>
<br>
Empathetic marketing is the latest marketing trend—showing users how you can meet their core emotional needs. When libraries use empathetic marketing to show users how library services and staff can meet their emotional needs, it helps users feel more connected,
shows them that people know and care about what they are experiencing, and lets them know that we can help them in a variety of ways. Once users realize that the library staff know and care about their needs, they often feel more comfortable seeking assistance
from us when they need it—whether related to the library and research or not. <br>
