Dealing With Reporters in Your Small Business
It behooves you to know and remember the names of reporters. Reporters know everybody. They talk to and interview people constantly. Because of their job, they usually size people up in a matter of minutes, sometimes without even meeting them face-to-face. If first impressions ever count, this is one first impression you don?t want to mess up. Be sincere, polite and try not to use slang.
Radio Interviews - How To Get Them!
Getting on the radio can be a great tactical move as part of your overall publicity effort, but you do need to have a story idea or an angle to present on a particular topic. Selling yourself as a guest on a talk show is a great way to raise your profile and if your subject relates to a topic that is currently in the news your chances of getting on is clearly improved.

What's a press release? This is generally a one page story about your business, your product/service or an event happening related to your business that is about to, or recently occurred. These publicity stories are generally "shot gunned" to newspapers, radio, television and the trade publications.
Time Your News Release For Maximum Publicity
"Cindy, where's that story? I need it yesterday!"
Best Approach For Free Advertisement
Product/service publicity is the superhighway to business success everyone dreams. Then imagine having your product/service written on newspapers, trade publications, aired on radio and viewed on television absolutely for free!!! That?s going to skyrocket your profit target only if you know how to use the best method of getting free publicity.

Leveraging Your Reputation - Making PR Work for You
We rely on all kinds of tools and advice to help our businesses grow, from accounting and legal advice to graphic design and sales seminars. But what are we doing for the important job of building our business's reputation in the community?
What not to wear when doing a TV Interview
? Don?t wear all black. You?ll look as though you?re disappearing into a hole. This often throws women into a panic, as we love the slimming properties of black, particularly when TV will probably make you look slightly heavier than you are in real life. Black trousers or skirt will normally be fine as a filmed interview will generally concentrate on your top half, but do go for a colour on top if you can.
Business - How to Build it Using the Media
Have you ever noticed that when someone is interviewed on
radio, television or in the newspapers about a particular
subject, it tends to be the same people? You may even be
saying - "Why don't they ever ask me?"
