    DO IT YOURSELF PR
    Fundamentals of Media Marketing
     

    "It is not uncommon for one well done press release that is properly executed, delivered and timely followed up to 10-20 news sources to yield 2-3 feature stories." 

           -Jeff Richards, Creative Business Adventures

     

    Media sources, even the local ones, can receive hundreds of Press Releases and PR kits a day and national sources can receive thousands of requests each month. The competition is fierce, but that should not deter you from this great, low-cost marketing strategy.  If your press release or kit is opened at all, at most, you have two to three seconds to capture the attention of the reader and convince them that your story would interest their audience.

     

    Even for a small business in a small town, there are often ten to twenty media sources that might be interested in featuring your story.  And whether you are a home-based business or a large company, there are media opportunities available that far outweigh the cost and results you can get from traditional advertising.

     

    So the question is ...how would you do this?  Follow these simple steps and your company success rate will increase dramatically.
