USE YOUR NEWS
by Todd F. Brabender of Spread The News PR, Inc.
Let 's say you've got a uniquely innovative product / business / invention / venture on your hands...one that's generated some nice media exposure / publicity (whether it was the product of your had work or generated by a hired PR specialist or agency). Other than using the mounds of tear sheets as wallpaper and those stacks of videotapes as door stops--USE YOUR NEWS.
I always tell my PR clients that we want a publicity campaign to be a "controlled burn, not a flash fire." One way to keep those PR embers glowing even after the flash of placements have been generated is to use those tear sheets and tapes to figuratively "fan the flames." USE YOUR NEWS as part of your business presentation to your market. For instance, if I am seeking venture capital for my new product/invention, I look alot more attractive to the prospective investor if I can show them previous/current media exposure. Sure, your PR campaign generated a great 1/3 page editorial placement last month in Entrepreneur Magazine. However, was this prospective investor/customer one of the magazine's 525,000 subscribers. Did he/she even see or hear about the article? Make sure he/she does!
USE YOUR NEWS by Packaging your PR!
That Entrepreneur Magazine tear sheet atop a Chicago Tribune Business Page tear sheet along with the video-taped segments of you/your product on TV newscasts and audio-taped clips of morning-drive radio shows probably looks pretty good to that investor. Just think of the publicity and subsequent consumer interest you could generate with some strong financial backing! Your PR campaign has helped prove to the investor the viability of the product/venture in the micro-media-market, imagine the exponential interest both of you could generate on the next level in the macro-media-market.
Positive media placement is a solid validation as to the potential marketability of your venture, especially if those placements were generated in media outlets trade-specific to your market/industry. Be advised...publicity/PR can't market FOR you; it certainly can and should market WITH you. When it comes to the publicity/marketing of your venture, the old adage "no news is good news" couldn't be more wrong. So, if your PR campaign has been effective enough to generate news, turn that into NEWS YOU CAN USE!

Marketing personnels, executives, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, COOs, COEs, and
business owners to communicate, share and learn from each other,
marketing techniques and strategies, business ideas and opportunities.
Instead of the traditional "negative competitive mindset", we can all benefit more
from a new WINWIN paradigm we call "positive collaboration mindset".
Instead of competing with each other blindly, and wasting much precious resources,
we can instead work together to produce
better products and services that satisfy the increasing expectations and needs of our
customers. In the new millenium, only companies that come together to work together will
eventually survive and make profits.
Apart from business ideas and strategies, this website will under permissible circumstances,
offer reports and articles that help enhance our life. It is often said that we can change our
life for the better while at the same time build a better world, if we put to practice our new
mindset and make an effort to help others as well, while we are working towards our dreams.
Through positive discussions and exchange of ideas, we can all inspire each other to great
heights. The most important thing is that, we believe that we can all help each other in life
and to achieve our dreams. Yes, we can all make this world a better place :)
