Public Relations 101: Getting Your Message Out
Perhaps you'd like to promote your organization's event. Maybe
you're trying to publicize your cause. Or maybe you're trying to
get media attention for yourself or your product. Sometimes it's
difficult to have your voice heard amidst the cacophony of
competing messages.
The mainstream media often refers to today's information
overload. After all, people get their information from more
sources than ever before. There's broadcast news, cable news,
newspapers, magazines, radio, online publications, bloggers,
discussion boards, RSS streams, and more. It seems, however,
that people aren't overwhelmed with information; they're simply
customizing the way they receive information. As for the
mainstream media's hype about overload, it may very well just be
a case of sour grapes. When people turn to other sources for
news and information, the market share of the mainstream media
decreases.
When you're trying to get your message out to the masses, follow
the lead of public relations professionals. Their approach to
promotion is to use multiple channels, both in traditional media
and in new media. By blanketing as many channels as possible,
your efforts at public relations and promotion are bound to be
successful.
When you want to get the word out, you first need to define your
audience. Who is it that you're trying to reach? If you're
trying to market your message to 18-34 year olds, you don't want
to waste your time with media that draws an older crowd.
Once you define your audience, you need to craft your message.
Indeed, if you are using multiple channels or trying to reach
more
than one audience, you may have to craft several messages.
For each, it's important to try and see the world through the
eyes of your intended audience, and the design a message that
they will find appealing.
When you know your audience and have your message, it's time to
distribute that message. Although that can seem like an obstacle
for an amateur, there are actually many venues through which you
can do public relations and promotion. There are even online
marketing opportunities that allow you to post free press
releases and offer free public relations services.
One such service is pr-inside.com. It's a free public relations
service that helps you in promotion - whether you're promoting
your online business, your organization, or yourself. You simply
register and submit your free press releases. It takes about
five minutes, after which the pr-inside.com team reviews your
text and adds it to their public relations website.
There's no need to be intimidated by the competition from big
public relations firms or the savvy mainstream media. With some
forethought and a targeted message, you can publicize your
message effectively using free online marketing tools.
