Getting great PR for your product or service is tough, and
getting tougher. Not only is it a major pitched battle
getting an editor to return your call, but holding their
interest for more than a nano-second is a major triumph. And
when you do get a company or product mention, all too often
it's a "survey" article that, horror of all horrors,
includes your competitors as well!
While
these battles must be fought, tooth-and-nail, on a daily
basis, there is a tactical flanking action you can also take
that will greatly aid in your battle for recognition.
Publish your own newspaper, and send it to all your
beneficial audiences: the media, customers, industry seers,
joint venture partners, top-line candidates.
The
beauty of publishing your own news is that you can spin your
entire story together. Over the course of several different
articles, you can: (1) substantiate your business plan, (2)
position your product/service, (3) establish your management
as the cream of the crop, (4) establish an attractive
corporate culture that will attract top talent, and (5)
scare the bejesus out of your competitors.
Publishing
your own newpaper guarantees it'll have "all the news that's
fit to print" in your humble opinion, of
course.
