Gain Community Awareness, Maximize Marketing Potential

Ensure that your marketing goals and objectives support households across the area you serve. By integrating powerful demographics, Gale Analytics adds value to existing data—including content from your integrated library system (ILS) and other electronic systems—unlocking key insights about your community to fuel your marketing outreach. Easy to use and share, Tableau Reader dashboards better equip your library and staff to target new populations, create new programs, market library services, and allocate resources more efficiently.

Gale Analytics uses the power of Experian’s Mosaic® USA proprietary household segmentation system to make it easier for librarians to understand their surrounding population. Experian segments households into 71 unique profiles, or Mosaics, which are used to help librarians segment patrons and nonpatrons based on demographic and lifestyle characteristics. Librarians can also skip some time and the stress of preparing data with help from Alteryx workflows, which provide a reusable workflow for self-service data prep and statistical analysis, allowing more time to analyze data. With an easy way to prepare, blend, and visualize data sources, Gale Analytics helps you extract maximum value from your data to better inform your outreach.


THE POWER OF DASHBOARDS

Our dashboards effortlessly merge your library’s ILS data with Mosaic segmentation from Experian and other data sources to evolve the way you do business and to help librarians and staff make more informed decisions that drive your marketing plan. With the free version of Tableau, Tableau Reader, librarians and other users can segment households based on interest, income, technology use, presence of children, and more—drilling down into rich visuals, dynamic maps, and downloadable custom mailing lists based on segmentation for maximized outreach.
