Public Relations is one of the most cost effective sales tools available as it is using reputation of a brand, service/product/supplier in order to build trust and confidence with chosen markets and customer segments through an independent and trusted channel (the media).
However, it requires a robust approach to thinking about what makes something of interest to the media – whether the information should be packaged as a news release, background brief or case study. This workshop also covers the use of photography, on-line PR activities such as blogging as well as more traditional sales PR activities such as book writing, article writing and speaking at conferences, seminars and exhibitions and promotional materials – in fact all you need to know in how to become a ‘Guru in a Bottle’ in your own area of expertise and experience that will help you sell!
