The Program Brochure: Relevant or Relic?  

Thursday, April 11 | 9:00am - 10:15am 

Session Description:

Has the time finally come to transition away from the program brochure? Learn how online registration and mobile access are transforming the way customers seek information on programs. Look at new research conducted in partnership with the University of Washington on customer needs and discuss the potential benefits and barriers to going brochureless. In the end, participants can decide—relevant or relic?

  • Understand what recent customer research tells us about how customers want to receive information.
  • Learn how park and recreation agencies are adapting their communications tools to meet the changing needs of customers.
  • Learn how both print and digital brochures can each introduce and eliminate barriers to access.
