[Michlib-l] Videos featuring the PDL and business being released on MeL Business Portal today

[Nicolette Sosulski]

Hi there, all!

Today MeL is launching its new business portal at http://business.mel.org .

It contains 4 promotional videos, which are appearing on social media

There is one on business resources from MeL

And another on how libraries help business patrons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-rc2IgCdPU&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4CDWs31-AKSuDUdxlAuKSdW&index=2
And one on business support organizations in MI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu4U0pnvhbI&list=PLsiX4lmeyL4CDWs31-AKSuDUdxlAuKSdW&index=3
And last, but not least, some business patrons talking about the difference all of these have made.

I have been asked for a sheet of webinars and tutorials on the products mentioned, especially Demographics Now and Business Decision.
First, here is a video for Business Decision
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUaTFSo6UNw&feature=youtu.be

There is also a guide to Business Decision attached, as well as a white paper, if you are interested, in market segmentation in libraries.

Here are two links to online tutorials for DemoNow

Here is a link to the webinars for DemoNow and other Gale products. Small Business Resource Center and Business Insights, Global are mentioned in the videos released today, but DemoNow gets most mention in them.

There is also a handout on Demographics Now: Generating Sales Leads Lists.

PDFs are attached.

Hope this helps!
