Business Into the Media

 We all know what an electricity generator is and does, but when it comes to getting media exposure for your business, how good is your "publicity generator?" If you think about it, there are a lot of similarities between the two. Whether it is your business's electricity generator or its publicity generator that fails, either way you will be left in the dark. The key to seeing the light is knowing how to generate your own "publicity electricity" and plugging yourself into multiple outlets -- media outlets that is.

Whether it is magazines, newspapers, TV, radio or the increasingly popular online news outlets, media searches all over the nation are constantly in trying of finding  of stories from small and large businesses. EVERY business in the world has at least some element of it that is newsworthy. It just requires you to fire up that publicity generator and shine some light on it for the media to see.



WHERE DOES PUBLICITY ELECTRICITY COME FROM?

There are a number of publicity angles, but at Time and Space Media the most well received publicity campaigns I have ever managed involved problem/solution businesses or products. Media outlets, especially trade specific ones, will often profile businesses or products that are uniquely solving a problem in a respective industry. It helps to present the editor with the problem, then provide some brief research or statistics -- not sales or ad text, just facts -- and show how your business/product can help solve the problem. Case studies work great. Show an editor or reporter how your business positively affected one of your clients and how it can provide similar benefits to others. This may also help get some free publicity for your client as well.
