Bookmarks are us, we are Bookmarks – We bookmark people …

For 16 years I supplied virtually every public library in the UK with their own bespoke tailored Library Bookmarks.  Alas, ‘Bookmark People’ is no longer able to fulfil demand and so regrettably we hung up our boots in Spring 2016.

‘Bookmark People’ designed, produced and delivered,  unrivalled value for money bookmarks; distributing to libraries, schools and universities throughout the UK – it’s what we do!

Bookmarks are gifted, taken home by readers and read in a receptive environment.
People love books,  #LoveLibraries and love their bookmarks.

 

From bananas to World War One, children’s designs to puzzling puzzles… we can create a design that celebrates your ambitions and shares your message – it’s simple, just ‘bookmark people’.

The Bookmark People have produced a number of successful campaigns for entertainment venues throughout the country – making great use of school and library promotional bookmarks.

Schools say:

“The bookmarks were colourful and well received by our pupils.”

“The classes who received them on Friday loved them and we have given out the rest today for children to take home.”

“really pleased with bookmarks – we handed them out to the children”

“The children enjoyed receiving their bookmark – it coincided with World Book Day too.
What made these stand out were the colourful photographs… and the link to letter sounds”

“The children were given the bookmarks to take home with them. The staff thought the bookmarks were bright and colourful with lots of interesting facts and pictures on them.”

Octonauts, Anchors and Zigzags – in the Classroom

Following the successful Starfish campaign in Birmingham’s Schools earlier in the year the National Sealife Centre Birmingham is this month reaching Coventry and Leicester Primary Schools via our handy NACE A-Z of the seaside.

A-Z of the seaside.
What can you see at the seaside?
Can you find them?
Can you spell them?

This September we see our Educational Bookmarks being distributed to primary schools in Coventry and Leicester. Working in partnership with the ‘National Association for Able Children in Education’ we deliver educational bookmarks supported by responsible advertising messages to children and students in UK schools.

The National Sea Life Centre’s Octonauts promotion is featured on ‘seaside’ themed NACE educational bookmarks delivered to Primary Schools in these areas.

The National Association for Able Children in Education specialise in supporting teachers in providing teaching and learning for able, gifted and talented pupils.

Supported by NACE, Bookmark People have designed and produced these “What can you see … A-Z bookmarks.” These simple and effective bookmarks are created to stimulate and challenge young children.

Bookmark People is proud to be working in partnership with NACE to deliver responsible advertising messages to children and students in all UK schools.  First appointed to the COI Framework as an approved supplier 2005, Bookmark People now offers a flexible route into the school environment.

Reaching Further and Higher Education Students

Just a recap on a variety of bookmarks produced recently for selected Colleges and Universities.

We’ve worked with various institutions to produce campus bookmarks; for example bookmarks promoting Student Services. Colleges and Universities have found this a very useful way of distributing and leaving their details with their students.

The backing sponsors’ investments are rewarded by seeing their promotions keenly distributed to the student body and beyond.

Northampton Electoral Registration via University of Northampton

For example:
An Electoral Registration promotion was carried on 10,000 bookmarks though the University of Northampton.
They reported “We have been distributing the bookmarks through our residential life team within the student accommodation, in the Students’ Union and also at events taking place on campus, They were handed out in halls of residence, at register to vote events and in student communal areas within the University.”

Typical sponsorship aimed at students ranges from Health promotions to Road Safety :

Suites of Library Bookmarks…

People like to collect. Over the years we’ve produced many ‘suites’ of bookmark designs for libraries through the UK… from Children’s Bookmark Design Competitions to Local Author Features here are just a few examples…

“we always welcome your support & bookmarks!
They always prove to be popular” SMILES

“We are close to running out of opening hours bookmarks” SMILES

You’ll hopefully be aware of the handy bookmarks that Public Libraries and others gift out to reach both their current & potential users.
We have produced hundreds of promotional bookmark campaigns tailored to individual libraries’ needs, the effective locally topical features give specific value to the campaigns – see what other libraries have to say. HERE

Visit Your Library

 

Jules P Richards

For the last 15+ years, I have worked for Bookmark People. They service Public Libraries throughout the UK creating bespoke promotional bookmarks that reinforce libraries’ outreach and promotional campaigns.

#LoveLibraries is the watchword… see more here: Bookmark People

We are always highlingting the value of libraries to the community as well as indivuiduals. I recently came across a neat piece by the University of Virginia Library “What Happens After Opening A Book?“.
After the spate of “what happens after drinking a can of Coke”, “what happens after eating a Big Mac” type IGs,  University of Virginia Library produced a clever infographic “detailing what happens to a person when you consume a book?”

And so …

“What happens in the hour* after
you visit your library? *and onwards…”

Focus on Smoking Cessation

Smoking Cessation and Smoke Free campaigns have also recognised the value of Library Bookmarks: a cost-effective promotional vehicle that can compliment, other promotional media streams.

Some examples:

Sheffield Libraries have promoted their 24 Hour Libraries & “Did You Know…?” on their Library Bookmarks.
In turn Sheffield Stop Smoking Service saw their message on 20,000 Library bookmarks distributed via 35 library sites and weighted specifically to libraries in the north of the city.
Sheffield Libraries see more than 108,000 visits a fortnight.

Barnsley Libraries’ Bookmarks
promoted their Online Services and Resources via their 17 library sites.

SWY Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Stop Smoking & Weight Management Service saw their messages on 20,000 Library Bookmarks. Barnsley Libraries see more than 36,000 visits a fortnight.

The Libraries South Tyneside, Gateshead and Sunderland made best use of their 40,000 library bookmarks.

This saw a NHS South of Tyneside Stop Smoking Service promotion distributed via 46 library sites. There libraries have a total footfall of more than 145,000 visits a fortnight.

A great idea for the new year!
