Free Inspire Promotional Materials Available for Gale Products
 Gale ProMo is a site that allows you to order or download FREE promotional materials for your Gale resources. Your library can even customize many of these materials with your library logo, website, QR codes, and/or text before ordering or downloading.
Log onto Gale ProMo through the Inspire account using the following credentials (NOTE: Library's with Gale accounts can use their own login):
Username: gale615833
Password: 615833
Once you are logged in, you will see “I’ll take it!” and “I’ll tweak it!” across the top of ProMo homepage and a search box along the bottom. You can locate "Web Ads" by clicking on the banner on the right under the aforementioned services. Also, be on the lookout in the coming weeks for Inspire-branded resources available on the site .
I’ll take it!
This section of the site enables your library to order non-customized items for many of your Gale resources.
Once you click on the option for “I’ll take it!", you will notice a list of resources and services. Click on the resource/service you intend to promote.
I’ll tweak it!
This section of Gale ProMo enables you to customize your free promotional materials with details about your library, including access information, library information and possibly a graphic and/or QR code.
Once you click the “Easy Creation” button under “I’ll tweak it”, you will be presented with an alphabetical list of Gale resources and services.
Web Ads!
Another option for promoting your databases is web ads that can be placed on your website’s scrolling banner or database page to spotlight a specific database. Some banners highlight specific databases for nationally recognized commemorative months while others can be used year round.
