Hundreds of thousands of delivery trucks traffic the roads of America at all times, and millions cover the roads of the world. Without them, the world's economy would come to a screeching halt and the standard of living for most of the world would be greatly changed. Think about all of those employed by the trucking industry. Truck drivers earn their living by transporting goods across country from manufacturing plants to retail and distribution centers around the glob
1. A Publicist does not place stories requiring advertising, therefore advertising is not a product of a publicist--good editorial content is. The first thing to know about a publicist is that what is written about your company must be truly of interest to the publication and its readers.
2. A Publicist generates non-fee based recognition, which means that you are not asked to exchange advertising dollars for editorial space. The result of publicity is attention, visibility, market share, recognition and branding. By working with your Marketing team, the Publicist ensures that your message will dovetail with the core values of your organization.
3. Publicity is gained through the hiring and activities of a Publicist. The message defines and promotes the brand that is at the heart of your business.
4. Publicity is a powerful tool for promoting your business. Therefore, a publicist has gone from being an exotic member of a star's entourage to an important consideration for business owners. The reason for that is simple. People pay more attention to what others say about you than what you say about yourself. We are social beings, and want to trust those with whom we associate.
5. Publicity is one of the most effective, non-fee based activities a company can pursue. There is no other single activity that can produce such dramatic results, such as an 85% increase in recognition in less than a six month period. The key to hiring a good Publicist is that this recognition should be to promote the image and purpose of your organization--including the good works you do, charitable contributions, the positive products and solutions you offer and your commitment to the community.

Are you an introvert? Someone who tends to feel absolutely paralyzed at the thought of meeting new people? Do your hands get cold and clammy and your heart race 100 miles an hour at the mere thought of attending a networking event? How can you network successfully if you feel faint at the mere thought of having to walk up to a stranger and introduce yourself and state what business you’re in?When I started my business I was told that most new entrepreneurs have to cult

Recently i met with a gentleman at a networking event and we got talking about his business, and then we began discussing self help programs and his comment was along the lines: "why do people keep going to motivational events? Can't they just do it for themselves?." It was not so much what he said, but how he said it, his negative tone and disgust at why people would consider spending good money to attend such events.I had to chuckle at his uneducated comment, and so

Doctors do it, hair dressers do it, and salespeople can do it too.I have been working with a chiropractor for a few months and when it came time to give me a new appointment, she would use a quarter sheet of paper to check off the appointment time. Inevitably the paper would get lost and not be found when I got home. I suggested to her that she use her business card for a reminder. The patient could write the time and date on the card and then tuck it into their wall

If you are a student who has recently graduated, you are most likely thinking about going to school and all that it entails. Whether you are in high school and need to pay for college, or if you have just graduated with a Bachelors degree, you might be considering how to further your education. If your family has not saved money for you already, you are probably aware of the extreme expense of school. This means that you have either to work full time or take out student loa
6. A Publicist is adept at establishing core messages and fundamental corporate goals, and introducing them to the media and the public through high interest stories and press releases about products, people, services and benefits. The reason you read your favorite magazine, newspaper, blog or online news site is that you expect to find something there that is of use to you in your life--it educates, informs, is relevant, useful for your needs, astonishes or entertains you. The reason you hire a Publicist is to promote your business in a way that fulfills these expectations.
7. A Publicist knows how to format and engage interest through press releases and pitches for highly interesting feature stories that will be written in magazines and newspapers. The press release is your ticket to the formal affair called press. As with any ticket, there are rules of engagement, and the press release is bound by the rules of who, what, when, where and why (as in why should I care?)
8. A Publicist understands the reason and purpose of the press release. Press releases are a precursor to feature stories, because press releases are the vehicles used to build credibility and understanding of who you are, what relevant issues your company brings out, what your company stands for and what products or services you offer that might benefit others.
9. A Publicist understands what makes a story newsworthy. This is called the Rules of Three—what makes a story newsworthy from your perspective, what makes a story newsworthy from the reader’s perspective and what makes a story interesting and newsworthy from the publication’s perspective.
If you want to promote a book, get an agent. If you want to promote a business, you might do well to consider getting a Publicist. Publicity often builds business--it
