Juegos Trabajo Trabajar | Press Release - Want To See Your Product On TV & In Top Magazines?

30 05 2010

juegos Let’s address your PR fears right up front. You’re afraid to call reporters because:

You don’t feel worthy.

You don’t think your product’s worthy.

You just hate making cold calls.

You find it intimidating.

All of the above.

Believe it or not, reporters are not scary, unfriendly alien creatures. They’re people like you and me, looking to do their job - which means finding intriguing stories about interesting people and companies. They’re always on the lookout for great stories about new products.

The stereotype about LA is that it’s just movie and rock stars and the jaded millions who never hit it big. Therefore it’s assumed that your audience will be fickle and tough to entertain. However, Orange County and Los Angeles are sprawling metropolitan areas with many thriving industries beyond film and music. Healthcare, law firms and technology research are all growing businesses that have new services and products in need of clever and effective promotion.

First off, consider why a company or school is searching for alternatives to the ready-available LA promotion machine. Chances are the people in charge of the event don’t want a Hollywood-type production that has too much star gazing for anyone to actually have fun. Many local industries and businesses want to get away from the LA attitude and prefer events that have interactive games, family oriented entertainment and carnival rides for a traditional but effective party event.

trabajo Before you do anything, get your press kit ready.

If a reporter’s interested in hearing more about who you are and what your company’s about, they’ll ask for your press kit. They’ll take you much more seriously if you have one ready to send them because it means you’ve compiled your company’s key media information in an easy to digest format.

What should you put in a press kit? Your company’s bio, your bio, a catalog or line sheet showing your products and a few articles or press releases about your company.

Get your pitch or “story” down to a 30 to 60 second pitch.

Reporters get calls and emails all the time and they really appreciate it if you introduce yourself and your story in a brief and well-organized manner. State your name, your company’s name and what your product is. Then describe what makes your story unique and colorful. What accomplishments have you had so far? Why do customers like your product? Why would your story be something that would capture their audience’s attention?

trabajar Your story is basically the story they’ll write. The clearer it is to you, the clearer it will be to the reporters you talk to. Write up a press release and have it ready. For pointers, visit ClearPublicist.com.

Do your research before you call.

Make sure you and your company are appropriate material for the media outlet you’re contacting. Do your research! You wouldn’t pitch a story about sailboats to Seventeen magazine, or a story about how well your organic home cleaner cleans up bubble gum to The Economist.

Be sure it relates to the style of their magazine and show them the “angle” that they can write about.

Where should I start?

It’s fine to start trying to pitch the majors from the get-go. But realize they’ll probably track you for a while to make sure you’re not a flash in the pan and that you’ll be able to deliver if they give you that kind of publicity for your product.

A great place to start, believe it or not, is your hometown newspaper. Hometowns love to hear about homegrown success stories! Once you have one article or media appearance under your belt, you can build things up from there.

How do you get into the major media outlets?

Sometimes you’ll get a few good placements quickly, but more likely you’ll have to be patient. It’s like anything else - persistence pays off. Keep letting them know you’re out there. Don’t be a pest, but contact them again when you have some great news or a special occasion makes it appropriate to pitch again or issue a press release - Mother’s Day’s coming, for example, and you sell T-shirts with great sayings about moms.

Keep coming up with fresh takes on your story. That increases your chances tremendously.

Manners matter.

Be polite and don’t nag them. Also be available for them when they’re ready for you. Use the same attitude with them as you would your potential customers - because, ideally, that’s who’ll be reaching through the press you get.

So chase your PR fears out the window. Like anything else, you just need to do the work, follow the right steps - and discover that working with the press can actually be its own wonderful adventure You can be published without charge.

Press Release - Want to See Your Product on TV & in Top Magazines?

Anonymous Press Release

Let’s address your PR fears right up front. You’re afraid to call reporters because:

You don’t feel worthy.

You don’t think your product’s worthy.

You just hate making cold calls.

You find it intimidating.

All of the above.

Many local industries and businesses want to get away from the LA attitude and prefer events that have interactive games, family oriented entertainment and carnival rides for a traditional but effective party event.

Think Through Your Contact Info

Include a real phone number and email address for people to get a hold of you. But, don’t give out your day-to-day contact information. You may want to create an email or have an 800# designated specifically for PR contact.

Hint: You’ll appear more like a “big” company if you don’t use your name as the point of contact, especially if the quote within the release is your own. You can make up a name or use an employee name.

Heading Use your main keyword, your URL, and your name in the heading and sub-heading. Also, state the occasion and why its important. Make sure its truly news, and not “salesy” (benefit oriented). Think WIFM (what’s in it for them).

1st Paragraph

The initial sentence should have your location, (LOS ANGELES Calif.) who you are and what you’re announcing. Nine times out of ten this is simply a reiteration of your heading but, remember, often people will only read the first line of your release and the last line.

2nd Paragraph

This should be a quote about why this occasion is important, what’s the goal, what’s the mission of this web marketing strategy?  It can be from you or someone in your company, or you could be interviewing someone related to the event.

Your story is basically the story they’ll write. The clearer it is to you, the clearer it will be to the reporters you talk to. Write up a press release and have it ready. For pointers, visit ClearPublicist.com.

A great place to start, believe it or not, is your hometown newspaper. Hometowns love to hear about homegrown success stories! Once you have one article or media appearance under your belt, you can build things up from there.

The more you get people involved the more fun your event will be. When people are stagnant and seemingly waiting for a show that’s when boredom takes hold so try to avoid as much dead air as possible by having event MC’s, DJ’s, hired bands and friendly event staff to engage guests and keep the party hopping. Even if it’s just background music keeping people’s senses stimulated will help in keeping their interest.

LA will always have it’ star-studded galas and VIP parties but when it comes to catering and entertaining the rest of LA, including the businesses, schools and communities, traditional fun and games will always get the job done

Tips on Writing A Press Release

22 11 2009

A press release plays a big part in online marketing. That’s why it’s common to find web marketers and e-companies using it to boost their business’ popularity and revenue. Today, press releases are more than just a means for information dissemination. It is an effective marketing strategy. Some companies even have it as their main promotional tool.

Press releases do more than just share facts. They make your business relevant. They introduce you and your wares to the public and make them stand out. In a world where competition is abundant, it would help boost your income if you could manage to make your business become more visible. Press releases can secure you that prominent position in the market if you apply the following techniques.

1.) Make some noise… or rather, NEWS. Press releases only talk about important and current events, undertakings, product releases and so on. So make sure that what you write in your company’s press release has some significant social impact.

2.) Be brief and concise. Press releases usually don’t drag on. They are short and straight-to-the-point, as how news should be.

3.) Deliver well. Make your press release upbeat. You can’t afford to have your viewers bored. If your first paragraph is not inviting enough, they may not read through the whole news, which will render your press release useless. On this note, let me remind you that your press release must also directly be speaking to your target audience. It should relate to them.

4.) Try not to pitch your self, company or product in your press release. Just answer the what, why, where, when and how questions in your press release. If you shove in promotional details, you might risk loosing the credibility of your write-up.

5.) Don’t get ahead of everything. Different press release topics have different distribution requirements and timing. Be sensitive to that and know when you should publish and when you should not. For example, you can’t just publicize that your company’s going to host a grand ball days after a storm wreaked havoc in your state. Instead, what you could do is write a press release that you are organizing a fund raising event for the victims of calamity.

It’s easy to benefit from press releases if you know how to use them. With constant practice, your business is sure to hit mainstream at a faster pace.
