Media Releases…Defining Your Audience

Having a story printed about you and your business is the best form of FREE advertising there is. Why you ask? Because it’s believable.

A news story in a local or national publication can give more details about your business in a way that allows your expertise to shine. People skim through the advertisement sections but are more apt to read informative articles.

Think about the last time you opened your newspaper and saw a story about a local business. Perhaps you read about a trendy new restaurant or martini bar that piqued your interest. Or maybe a neighbourhood book store was bringing in a famous author to promote her new book. Did the story grab your attention? Were you enticed to take action and check it out? Chances are if this topic was of interest to you, it did. And that brings us to finding the right market for your story.

Sending a media release to every editor of every newspaper and magazine will get you no where quickly. You will soon make a name for yourself – and not a good one at that. You already know (or you should know) how to find your ideal customer – your target market. It’s the same process to find your ideal publicity vehicle.

The first step in figuring out who to send your well-written media release to is to look at your own target market.

• What newspapers and magazines do they read?
• What television shows are they watching?
• What radio stations are they listening to?

Next, research the editors, journalists, freelance writers, and producers inside those publications and programs that work on stories relating to your industry. But always keep in mind that it is their job to publish their newspaper or magazine or to air their television or radio program. They entice people to subscribe, watch or listen, and encourage advertisers to pay money for ads. Their job is not to promote you.

Editors have their audience’s interests top of mind. To be effective, consider the journalist’s perspective. An editor will be reading your media release to see if it is of interest to his or her defined audience.

It does take time to create a targeted media list but the effort is worth it. Names are usually posted on Web sites and newspaper mastheads. It may take an enquiring phone call to see the best source for your story. As you grow your list of targeted contacts, you are developing a reference guide not just for sending your media releases, but also for article writing that can help to boost your business exposure.

Keep in mind that publicity is not about you – it’s about giving editors what they need to create a strong story. In other words, you’re making their job easier by giving them exactly what they need to create a compelling piece…and getting free publicity for your business as a bonus.

Entrepreneurs Unplugged: Get Up Close and Personal with 12 Entrepreneurial Role Models

We are very excited to tell you about a speaker series we are participating in starting in February.

This series is different. The speakers have left the corporate world and have thrived in their own businesses, or have unique and valuable resources to help those who have gone from employee to entrepreneur.

We’ll share our personal stories, and give valuable information on topics like how to start a business, marketing, finance, team building, and being the boss.

The event lineup includes well known speakers like Michael Gerber of the E-Myth, Michael Port of Book Yourself Solid, Pamela Slim of Escape from Cubicle Nation, Naomi Dunford of IttyBiz and SEO School, ME and STEPHEN!,… and many more! http://snipurl.com/bbryz

This is your chance to go behind-the-scenes with highly successful entrepreneurs who know how to get more financial security and control than they ever had working in the corporate world – because they’ve done it.

The organizers are offering access to all 12 interviews for $37 – and will donate a portion of the proceeds from the event to give back to small business owners in other countries through KIVA, so it’s a win-win!
