Take a Bite Out of Getting Publicity
If you’re a business owner or nonprofit organization, learning to attract the favorable publicity you want and deserve can be tricky business.
Knowing how to attract publicity can be time-consuming, labor intensive and expensive.
It’s important to have a clear sense of expectations about your interactions with the media. Write them down if you must.
In addition, you’ll want a well defined call-to-action.
The essential element in personal magnetism is a consuming sincerity – an overwhelming faith in the importance of the work one has to do. ~Bruce Barton (American Congressman, 1886-1967)
In a perfect world, you could simply hang out a shiny shingle to attract our customers and publicity.
You could simply invent a fun product, provide an awesome service, or write a page-turning eBook and buyers would be trip over themselves to be the first in line.
Sadly, this doesn’t happen for most business owners or those working in nonprofit organizations. The key is to remain calm while you’re in the midst of a publicity storm.
You can become a publicity magnet!
