I found this fascinating quote today:
You know that old saying, there’s no such thing as bad press? Well you don’t have to resort to bad press to get some media exposure. Here are a few great ways to gain media exposure for your business and keep everyone happy.
#1 Support a local cause. Ideally, you’ll choose a cause that relates to your business. For example if you have a business selling pet products then supporting the local humane society and sponsoring their events will gain tremendous local media exposure for you and your business.
#2 Publish. Content, whether it is a book, a case study, a special report or any kind of how to guide or course, is a great way to gain exposure for your business. You can publish press releases online and for your local media to promote the content.
#3 Interview or be interviewed. Interviewing an expert, or being interviewed, is a great way to garner more attention for your business and your expert knowledge. If you’re interviewing an expert in your industry, issue a press release and send out announcements so people know how to access the interview.
#4 Host an event. Workshops, seminars, and other events generate interest. Issue a press release announcing the event and issue a press release once it’s completed. Let reader’s know what they have to gain from attending and give journalists the vital statistics like how many attended and the topic of the seminar or purpose for the event.
