And given the chance, most businesses would jump at the opportunity to have a news article discussed them, or to be covered by TV and radio stations.<br /><br />But the likelihood of those stories coming to you on their own are very slim. That is why smart businesses walk out their solution to create news, and bring free publicity in their mind. And it takes a lot more than simply your run-of-the-mill news release.<br /><br />In fact, blanketing every available news organization with generic releases can do you more harm than good. Do it too often, as well as your releases will start hitting the round file before they are even read.<br /><br />Just like almost every other aspect of your marketing, publicity campaigns have to be targeted to succeed. Because even though you do have the ability to score a article in your local paper, it won't assist you to much if your target customer isn't a subscriber. Discover what papers and magazines your prospect does read, what newscasts he listens to or watches, and target those.<br /><br />Once you have your goals chosen, ensure you have something that will be of interest in their mind. Remember, you are not writing an ad for the business. You're attempting to convince a reporter which you have a story she will want to cover. To achieve that, you need to know the outlet you're sending your release to, and what types of stories they consider news.<br /><br />It is a rare media outlet which will care about your new product, or sale, or internal promotion - if you don't give them a good reason to. You need some type of emotional hook that will make your story interesting to the readers/listeners/viewers.<br /><br />Is it possible to tie your product or sale to a news event? Or even better, can you create an event of your? Staging an unusual event or charity benefit will get you plenty of positive coverage.<br /><br />Don't just visit news releases. Write articles on some new development in your industry and submit them to the publications your prospects read. Distribute EzineArticles all over online. This establishes you being an expert and gives you exposure.<br /><br />Once you do have an article published or a story done you, milk it for all it really is worth. Make copies and use them in your marketing. Frame them and put them up in your store for those who have one. At the very least, tell people you were featured in such-and-such publication.<br /><br />Publicity could be a great marketing tool. But important thing is, you must make it work. And utilize it to your advantage when it does!<br /><br />Does your marketing forge an emotional connection with your prospects? It could.
