Creating A Buzz: PR Doesn’t Exist In A Vacuum

Writing by Brick Marketing on Sunday, 4 of November , 2007 at 10:59 am

One of the primary reasons for writing and distributing a press release is to create a buzz about your product or service and your company. But the press release is not the only tool for doing that. In a word, PR doesn’t exist in a vacuum. That’s PR as in press release and public relations.

When it comes to effective press relations, the press release is merely one tool in a handbag of tools designed to help you, the business owner, create a buzz. What you really want is to use the press release to enhance your other PR efforts. And you know that there is more than one way to skin the PR cat so you don’t need us to remind you. But when you start to skinning, you should include the press release in that overall plan.

Don’t just write a generic press release and send it out to a bunch of news organizations thinking that will create the buzz you want. It is likely to do the opposite. Instead, you want to do your research and target your efforts. That means researching the right media outlets for your release and writing a press release with the right “hook.” In other words, design a campaign and make the press release an overall part of that campaign. When everything works together toward a single goal, your efforts at creating a buzz will go a much longer way.
