    Marketing QandANJ.org 

Any New Jersey resident or student can use QandANJ.org.  (We require a valid zip code, and if accessing the service outside of New Jersey, you may need to enter a New Jersey library barcode number).

QandANJ was very fortunate to be awarded grant funds with the purpose of marketing the service on cable television! Two 30-second commercials were made in 2007 and 2008. The commercials debuted on MTV each year during the MTV Video Music Awards and continued to run for several weeks on MTV, as well as VH1, E!, Cartoon Network during "Adult Swim," and on Bravo during "Project Runway." View the commercials here!

For project milestones such as anniversaries and new services, QandANJ.org prepares press releases which are sent out in a coordinated campaign to both local and statewide media (and to professional journals/newsletters).  Our service unfailingly captures their attention, including three high profile cable television spots.

Participating libraries get the word out to their own communities, but any organization is free to distribute our bookmarks and display our posters.  

QandANJ.org's tagline is simple and unambiguous: "Got a question?  Get a live answer."

Word of mouth -- including "word of mouse" -- is the most popular way people have heard about QandANJ.org.  Virtual Reference is a service that wows its users and they spread the word accordingly.  Click here for selected customer feedback.
