Whats Stopping You From Getting Publicity'
When I talk with business people, they tend to believe if they offer good service, they will automatically get "noticed". Everybody "wishes" for this, but this rarely happens automatically. If you want publicity, you need to give up this "delusion", and pro-actively, systematically, and aggressively contact the media. CNN and USA Today are NOT going to automatically contact you. Instead, these people are EXPECTING you to "pitch" them on story ideas. They EXPECT you to hunt them down, notify, inform, and solicit story ideas. This is simply the truth of people in the media. True, they don't want a sales pitch, but the DO want unique, interesting stories. Without going into a tirade about the role of media in our culture, you simply have to accept the fact, that if you want media coverage, you're going to need to take the initiative. I know, you may have fears and hesitation about calling some of the "hotshots" in the media, however, if you do not approach them, they will not approach you, even if you've got the hottest story in town! SO, get the fantasy of producers finding you out of your head, right now! Good, now welcome to a brave new world.... Now that you've forgotten about that silly idea, you can NOW TAKE ACTION!

Business Growth for Financial Planners in Five Easy Steps Attracting new business: sometimes it happens by luck, sometimes by referral. Trouble is, "sometimes" just isn't often enough. The Feeding Tube for Your Business There are a lot of things that make a business full of clients and running smoothly. Five Great News Stories You're Sitting On Right Now Smaller companies don't always have the budget - or inclination - to retain a PR hotshot to tell the world about their business success, but that doesn't mean they aren't a ready source of news. Editorial Calendars: A Key to Publicizing Your Business What is the one thing that all of the best public relationsagencies do every year? Managers, Which PR Is Right For You' An effort built around a string of print and broadcast exposures? Or, a public relations initiative that delivers results far beyond simple publicity tactics. Namely, real behavior change among your most important outside audiences leading directly to reaching your objectives. Achieved, incidentally, by persuading key outside people with the greatest impacts on your organization to your way of thinking, then moving them to take actions that help your unit succeed. Public Relations: Converting the Non-Believers What's the real reason some managers shy away from public relations? I believe it's because they don't understand, or believe, the direct connection between what public relations is capable of delivering and their need to achieve specific business objectives. Is PR All About Image? NO!! That's like asking if advertising is all about type faces and photography. The answer to both questions is a teeth-clenched "of course not!" Right PR Empowers a Manager Business, non-profit and association managers are in a stronger position to succeed when they use their public relations resources in a way that alters individual perception leading to changed external stakeholder behavior. The Ten Ps of PR Everyone is talking about the Ps of successful marketing, so I thought it was time that PR had it's own Ps - essentials that will help you maximise your PR activities and results. Tough Times, Tough Tactics When times are tough, it's no time to ignore those external audiences whose behaviors matter so much to your organization. Best Approach For Free Advertisement Product/service publicity is the superhighway to business success everyone dreams. Then imagine having your product/service written on newspapers, trade publications, aired on radio and viewed on television absolutely for free!!! That's going to skyrocket your profit target only if you know how to use the best method of getting free publicity. Asian Media Relations: Increase Your Profile and Image in China China's media is booming creating opportunities for marketing-savvy businesses. But many companies have little understanding of how to harness the power of the media in the world's most populous country. E-Mail Media Releases E-mail is becoming the preferred way to receive media releases. Although it can sometimes be harder to get valid e-mail addresses for media contacts, e-mail releases are more likely to be read than faxes and faster than snail mail. A Powerful PR Strategy It really is powerful when a business, non-profit or association manager uses public relations to alter the individual perception of members of its key outside audiences, thus beginning the process of changing their behaviors. Can Small PR Firms Deliver Huge Results' They can when they invest in the basics. The best of them obviously rely on some form of public relations fundamental premise to produce winners across business environments from rockets and orange juice to product recalls and indicted CEOs. How to Get More Mileage Out of Your Media Coverage Maybe it played for Kevin Costner in "Field of Dreams," but that paraphrased line ' "Print it and they will come" ' doesn't necessarily work in real life. Passing the PR Bar The public relations bar, should such a proficiency measure ever come about, may well include a test of PR's fundamental premise: people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired-action the very people whose behaviors affect the organization the most, the public relations mission is usually accomplished. Between Now and Economic Recovery There's still time to review your public relations program like Navy flight crews go over a fighter jet. Its the Little Details that Can Make or Break a News Story Have you ever heard of the saying, "One person's trash is another person's treasure'" Well, that statement is a true one, but never more so than in the realm of media relations where so many small-business owners find it so difficult to garner media coverage for themselves or their companies. Allow me to illustrate my point below in an actual incident that happened to one of my clients and the lessons we learned from this experience. Publicity: The Right Way for Marketing-Minded Financial Planners to Follow Up with a Reporter Let's say you've called a reporter with some ideas for stories about financial planning, and they seemed interested. Congratulations! First, pat yourself on the back. It takes intelligence and gumption to come up with ideas that reporters like.
