New Year, New You: Fresh story package ideas

New Year, New You!

Well…maybe. We’ll leave the decision to set “official” resolutions up to you, but we figured there’s no time like the new year to suggest trying a few new things on your site.

That’s why, over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing ideas for optimizing your site’s content and design, as well as offering free webinars so you can learn how to put those ideas into practice.

We’re kicking things off this week with a handful of story package ideas, which were generously shared by members of the SNO network. Whether you need inspiration headed into the new year, you’re curious about alternative story packaging formats, or you just want to “ooh” and “ahh” at creative pieces from other schools, check out their stories below.
