From
the desk of Marisa D'Vari
Did
you ever fantasize about getting your name and
the name of your business in a publication your ideal
prospects read?
Lots of people
do -- that is why there is something called "advertising"
and "paid placement."
But what if you want want
to get into publications like the Wall Street Journal
free?
It's possible! Especially
when you discover the secrets of how to write effective
media releases (also called press releases).
You
will position yourself at the top if you effectively
know your
target consumer.
Ask
yourself:
-
Who are you selling to?
- Do
you have their picture on your desk?
Successful
authors, entrepreneurs, and business people have a
vivid image of their target audience.
The
most successful of this group even keeps picture of
their
"ideal customer" on their desk in the
planning stages of their project, torn
from the pages of magazines.
While it's true that any publicity is "good publicity,"
you'll soon be overwhelmed by the thousands of radio
and TV shows you can appear on.
Even if you have a staff
that can help you write letters and send out media kits,
they'll rely on you for direction and your time and
resources are limited.
As
creator, you must figure out what your audience watches
and listens to so that you can target them exclusively.
