Can You Handle the Media Attention?

Writing by Brick Marketing on Saturday, 8 of December , 2007 at 9:47 am

Getting media attention is one thing but to handle them is another. Not all of us may want to be in the middle of attracting media attention for the fact that handling them and getting unsolicited exposure may something that may work against you.

Similarly in business, if you want to attract media attention for your group’s benefit, be sure you can handle it and put it to good use. Companies often find themselves looking for the cheapest means of getting media attention and being featured in press releases or some media segments can go a long way. Just think of it when companies today shell out millions of dollars just to get effective media attention anywhere. Money is burning but the question is, are they doing the job effectively?

The same thing with press releases distributed to the market. Nothing beats the feedback of getting media attention in droves. Before you compute the profits and aim high with your goals, it is important to make sure that while you release catchy press releases, the thing is you have to be ready for both positive and negative results.

(Source) Make sure you’re doing or offering something newsworthy. If what you’ve got is ordinary or run-of-the-mill, you’re not going to get the media attention you seek. When your product or service alone isn’t newsworthy, brainstorm about how you can make it more attention-getting, special or unusual. Sometimes this involves a special event — if you produce an organic pancake mix, for example, create the world’s largest blueberry pancake — or an extreme act of generosity, such as volunteering to refurbish donated cell phones to distribute to battered women as a safety measure.

Always remember that there are two sides to a story. A press release gets the same thing. Either you can handle the limelight or just turn away and wait for the right timing. There is proper timing for all and this includes the area of attracting media attention which some just cannot seem to handle effectively.
