Marketing Catalog

The MWR Marketing Catalog is a new design system that allows MWR Managers to "shop" online and select marketing campaigns to support local event promotions. The catalog is comprised of 400+ branded designs created with intention and purpose to support the Community Recreation, Fitness, and Liberty programs throughout Navy Region Southwest.

Digital Marketing

NRSW Fleet and Family Readiness Programs are elevating our marketing initiatives.  We are focusing less on traditional marketing and more on digital.  Our customers are online, we are making steps to connect with our audiences where they currently are.  Things like website, email marketing, social media, digital screens and video are leading the course for the future of our promotions.  Join us!
 



Digital Marketing Style Guide

What is the Digital Marketing Style Guide? It's a  reference tool that helps our region maintain consistency in what our brand looks, feels and sounds like. Think of it this way - it's the heart and soul of Fleet and Family Readiness (FFR), that encompasses our mission, vision and values - translated in design.

Your NRSW Installation website is an integral component for online visibility. 

Your website provides:

  • Real time information for events and other Installation specific information
  • Cross linking opportunities for Social Networking
  • Feeds information into the Navy Life App

The Installation Marketing Rep is the designated content manager for the installation website. Your Regional Marketing Manager and  Regional Web Administrator/Webmaster can request CNIC credentials for you. Your credentials will provide administration access to the Content Explorer and Media Manager areas of your website. 


The main content management duties are:

  • Timely Event data entry
  • Media asset management
  • Program data maintenance

Best practices for web:

Text:

  • Less is more!
  • No "shouting text" aka: ALL CAPS
  • Brief and concise information.

Web Banners:

Web Banners provide quick, visual (not textual) interest and calls to action for specific events and announcements. The web home page banner carousel effectively accommodates 5-7 web banners at a time. The typical life cycle of a web banner is generally 2 weeks. There are many flexibilities with web banners on your home page carousel, specific event pages and program pages. 

Web banner size is currently 640X360 px- the same proportional size as the 1920X1080 digital monitor slide. They can also be used cross functionally as web banners without additional adjustments.

Events:

  • Minimum 2 weeks before event date.
  • Brief and concise information
  • Minimum 15-25 entries

Note: incomplete, expired or inactive events are generally purged every 30 days


Time Management:

All digital activities (event entries, social networking, website updates, etc.) are most effective when they are planned and executed (or scheduled) in the early part of your week. 


Support is available for your NRSW Installation Website:

  • Admin Support
  • Special Projects
  • Training
  • General Q&A

Questions and requests for web support can be sent directly to your Installations Account Rep or regional web administrator: nrsw.webmaster@gmail.com

When sending a question or request, please include the URL/web address of the page, program, or event for action.
