Every business depends on its reputation.
Writing press releases and talking to the press relevant to you industry, is vital. Tell your story increase awareness and build a positive reputation.
When you engage a public relations specialist it is important for the whole company to engage with that professional. The best stories have come from members of staff who note a situation and discuss this with management or the PR team. A story in the local paper featuring a member of your staff builds rapport with your customers and engenders a commitment and energy in your team.
Do you have a newsworthy story to tell?
- Are you the first?
- Has a member of staff solved a customer’s problem?
- Do you have a case study to share?
- Are you engaging with your local community, supporting a charity or campaigning for change?
- Has a product been used in an innovative or unusual way?
- Do you have an important message to share with new or potential customers?
Advertisements and advertorial are mistrusted. The electronic blog word comes straight from a biased writer. The printed word retains its dominance. The printed word has been written by a journalist and checked by an editor. The source has been trusted and the story can be relied upon.
A public relations expert can create strong ‘meme’ friendly messages that get used by journalists and passed on by readers. I spot stories, take photographs, write the copy and contact the journalists so that your story is seen and read.
