Dublin, OH - March 11, 2021- Patron Point announced today that its leading library marketing automation platform is now available in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Patron Point currently serves hundreds of public libraries and consortia of all sizes in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand helping drive their digital marketing strategies and community engagement.
Ian Downie, Vice President of Growth, at Patron Point commented "We are keen to show UK and Irish libraries how other libraries around the world are using the platform to genuinely engage their communities, build the library brand, and drive library usage."
The company's marketing automation platform connects to all popular library management systems and other third-party library data sources like eBook vendors and reservation systems. With this aggregated data, the system has a wide range of uses within the library from sending targeted email communications to customers, sending reading recommendation newsletters promoting the library's collections, signing up new library cardholders, turning the traditional, LMS-generated notices into cross promotional branded emails and so much more.
Downie added "We have an excellent team based in the UK and our previous experience growing the collectionHQ business has given us a solid understanding of the market dynamics and its challenges. Having already shown the product to a handful of libraries, we have been very encouraged by the positive feedback and hope to announce our first customers here in the coming weeks. Marketing is clearly a hot topic among libraries and is just as important in UK & Ireland as it is in our other markets. We're excited and ready to show libraries what Patron Point can do for them."
