What can public relations do for your organization? Tired of reading about the competition in the newspaper or on business websites? Ever wonder how they continue to have articles printed in industry trade publications? The answer is simple—they have someone managing their media relations.
To some, PR work is only necessary to quash bad publicity. However, a steady stream of positive news coming from your company is a great complement to your advertising campaign. Whether announcing a new product, a change in personnel, or a large deal that was recently closed, the publicity serves an important marketing purpose—to show your momentum as a business, and to keep your product or service in the public eye.
The Costs Associated with Public Relations
Paid-for billboards, magazine advertisements, radio and television spots are all effective ways of educating and informing the public about your goods and services. However, third-party articles have an added level of credibility and are more likely to be taken seriously by potential customers. What's more effective: you publishing an advertisement saying you're the best in the industry, or a trade publication saying that you are?
The beauty behind many opportunities for publicity lies in the fact that public relations require no significant monetary cost. Pitching an editor on a news story, e-mailing a press release to your customer base and drafting successful case studies for use as marketing materials call for investment in time, not money.
