Publicity Made Simple for All Media

Getting publicity for you and your business is one of the most powerful, yet cost effective promotional tactic you can learn. The rules are simple and straight forward, and conventions must be followed to achieve success, but the pay off is well worth the effort. The public tends to trust the media’s word, more than they do paid advertising. Getting media coverage can increase attention, while lending legitimacy to what you do.

There are many ways to increase your publicity, and the more creative you can be, the more response you will most likely get. Have fun, be prepared, and be ready to play the media game. At the end of the day, reporters are just people too, and if you are clear, honest and easy to relate to, you will enjoy the fruits of your publicity attempts.

At Community Futures in Nelson they are offering a new workshop that  will cover the basics of publicity, what it is, why you should use it, and how to get it. We will go over the most important tool when communicating with the media: the Press Release, and how to use it in a timely, effective manner. Finally we will discuss other new media tools you can develop to increase and maximize your publicity potential.
