3 Better Beginnings – In Brief The program commenced with a Birth-3 year program and now reaches children up to age 9 as well as adults Since 2005 over 150,000 WA families have received reading packs In 2012 and beyond the program will reach over 60,000 families pa

4 Is the program making a difference? In the Community In 2009 85% of mothers read to their children after receiving a BB pack while only 14% did prior In 2009 62% of mothers said their confidence in sharing books had increased. This figure rose to 88% in 2010 In 2009 79% said BB had influenced their beliefs about the importance of reading In 2009 23% of parents had library membership for their child. This figure increased to 65% in 2010 In 2009 the average number of books suitable for children in the home was 49. In 2010 this figure was 125 Source: Edith Cowan University independent longitudinal study (regional & metro)

5 How we touch WA households What parents are saying “If I didn’t get the pack, he might not even own a book” “I always knew reading to my kids was important, but this has opened my eyes to how important and how much”

6 Evaluating past marketing activities In reviewing marketing activities undertaken from 2005-2011 the following issues were identified: The Better Beginnings brand is not linked consistently across all programs and collateral The brand is not strongly linked to the program or with the State Library (better known for the Yellow Bag) The program has broadened from the original focus on child literacy to include adults Clarity between the adult and children’s programs with regards to branding Resources and funding is highly competitive at the local government and public library level Inconsistent and varying levels of support from partners and other stakeholders of the Better Beginnings program.

7 The Objectives of Future Marketing 1.Increase awareness of the Better Beginnings program at a community level 2.Increase perception on the value of the program 3.Strengthen the linkage between Better Beginnings, the State Library and its sponsors 4.Ensure sustainability through support and funding.

8 Three Key Priorities of Future Marketing Branding: Build brand consistency across all collateral, increase brand awareness of Better Beginnings and its association with literacy and in turn libraries Consolidation: Define and build a suite of collateral and templates as resources for all stakeholders Campaign: Build awareness of the Better Beginnings program and its key messages.
