Maribeth Pelly, Event Manager at Booktowne, presented on Store Press Kits this week as part of NVNR prep for Publicity Speed Dating March 9-12 (Registration opens next week). The lively webinar included live-critiquing of press kits from NAIBA and SIBA stores, updated to reflect stats for virtual events and promotion through social media channels. We’re including some links for stores who are in the process of creating or updating their press kits. Maribeth is available for vetting your press kits: maribeth@maribethpelly.com
