CAE - Writing Part 2 - Proposal [Assessment Required #6] Hey! Today I tackled the Proposal. The subject's been taken from Write&Improve. -- You work in your local library. The number of visitors to the library has been falling steadily over the last year, so your manager has sent you the following email: Thank you for raising the recent fall in visitor numbers in the meeting on Tuesday. Please could you put together a proposal with suggestions for how we might attract more visitors to the library and I will present it at the next board meeting. Thanks! Write your proposal. -- Dear Sir, As requested, find below my suggestions for Tuesday's meeting. Presence online It was brought to my attention that a substantial amount of visitors are eagerly waiting for an online catalogue offering them the possibility to book their items straight from their electronic devices. Therefore, an update of our website and the digitization of the hardcopy of our books is definitely worth considering. Moreover, a mobile application would definitely tip the scales in our favor and allow us to stand out from our counterparts. Craft sessions According to a recent survey, visitors have shown a deep interest towards craft sessions, especially cooking and gardening. Consequently, I think the library would benefit from such activities by proposing to visitors an hands-on approach along with short tailored sessions led by professionals. I personally know a couple of chefs an gardeners who can positively respond to this demand. Discounts Finally, we should consider bringing down our prices and even offer a 80% discount for newcomers. By keeping steady the cost of our annual membership the library ensures to offer the best rates on the market. On top of that, we could back this offer with a well oiled marketing campaign and spread the word across the city in the blink of an eye. I genuinely hope the suggestions outlined before will meet your expectations and improve the overall number of visitors shortly. Should you need further details, I'm at your entire disposal. Peter.
