Yet if they\u2019re not well supported, you may not get the return on investment that you desire. What do we mean by \u201csupported?\u201d We mean that your PR campaigns are well integrated with your other marketing and media efforts. But support extends beyond integration. It also means ensuring that you\u2019re using the most cost-effective tactics to get results. After all, you can pay a lot for publicity, but what you receive may not be worth the price.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; background: #ffffde; border: 1px solid #ddd; width: 85%;\" align=\"center\">\n<h3>Download your FREE Guide: Ultimate Guide on How to Write a Killer Press Release<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn how to create a compelling press release for greater success.

Media Relations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All it takes is one great connection with a journalist or media representative to really get the ball rolling. Once a story is published about your organization, it\u2019s up to you to seize the momentum and keep your brand in the news. So yes, you can and should take a number of steps that we\u2019ll talk about, but you should also focus on media relations and building positive professional relationships with your industry\u2019s media reps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Distribution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re using a distribution service to disseminate your press release, please make sure you\u2019re reaching your targeted media outlets. Make a list of the outlets that you want to reach and compare distribution services to find the one that has the broadest reach and that also ticks most of the boxes on your list. Also be sure to compare prices of distribution services. Make sure you\u2019re getting your money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Publish More Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good public relations campaign doesn\u2019t begin and end with a press release. It is supported by great content, consistent content, and content that is relevant to your audience and your press campaign message. Consider getting out of the box with your content. Publish white papers, case studies, host webinars, and write eBooks. Create content that provides value and makes a name for you and your company. And keep in mind that the media will leverage your content to strengthen their story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to using social media press releases to get your news in the most hands, use social media to expand on the conversation. For example, if you use a press release to announce an event that you\u2019re hosting, why not share photos from last year\u2019s event? Once the event is over you can share photos, video testimonials from attendees, and content from the event. Social media gives you the ability to get people involved with and engaged in your news. It expands the power of your publicity.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, measure your results. Each public relations tactic that you implement and each piece of content that you publish should have a goal \u2013 a measurable goal. Track that information so you can determine the tactics that produce the best return on investment.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #000000;\">Call us today to speak to one of our PR specialists: 1-800-713-7278<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can put a tremendous amount of time, energy, and money into your public relations campaigns.
