Show Notes:
Great PR Tips for Your Business
The much awaited interview with Chelsea McLean is here. The show is a little longer today, because Chelsea had so much great stuff to say, so we thought we’d put it all in there for you.
Chelsea and I talk about why publicity is much more effective than advertising in promoting your business. We talk about effective PR strategies that anyone can use and that won’t cost anything but a little time.
Chelsea’s 3 Top Tips on Getting Quality (& Free!) Publicity
- Be prepared. Have a media release on your business ready to send to any media enquiries you receive. Know the answers to any questions you think the journalist may ask.
- Just give it a go. You won’t get any publicity if you never try. So get prepared, make some phone calls, send some emails and keep politely in touch with relevant media even if they aren’t interested first time.
- Be creative. Keep up with topical events and think of creative ways to tell a story about your business and “piggyback” on current newsworthy items.
Show Resources:
- Example of a Press Release that Chelsea created for my business, Tailored Consulting. In PDF format
- Get The Word Out – Great info on how to write a journalist friendly media release.
- Seth Godin – Marketing Guru, has some great tips on good storytelling for business, big and small.
Enjoy the show & stay tuned for Friday’s Interview with successful web development firm owner, Billy Kirkley.
