Hub You - 12 Tips for Using Big Checks in your Publicity/Photo Op Campaign
Is it just me that feels frustration when dealing with large businesses who use call centres for customer service?These bored-sounding people suffer from a syndrome I call "notsorryitis". That is, there can be mountains of evidence that their company has made a mistake and yet no-one is capable of saying sorry personally or even in a more general way.Denial is the usual response. "The computer system" seems to bear most of the blame, although I've not heard a computer apologise for billing

There’s an old saying in business that you can’t get a $70,000 employee by hiring two employees earning $35,000 each. While this is true, many managers make the decision every day to refuse to pay what it takes to attract top talent to their business team. When it comes to people, you get what you pay for.Just like in pricing, water seeks its own level. The market establishes how much you have to pay for personnel with a given set of talents. Managers who violate this rule will forever be playing
A good-quality, unusual photo is often the first thing that attracts a reader's attention. It serves as an anchor on the page. And often, a photo can tell its own story, without being accompanied by an article. Big checks are still unusual enough that they will make the paper or the news.
Journalists say a good photo or an unusual photo can move your article from the back of a magazine or newspaper to the front. Photos can be the deciding factor when you're pitching a story idea. An editor who knows that you can provide photos, or that their own photographer can take photos of something interesting, might be encouraged to say "yes" to your story idea. And while you are not donating the money for your gain.....why don't let the community know of your good deed?
Here are 12 tips for using photos and big checks for publicity:
1. Make sure you have good-quality, above-the-shoulders photos of all your experts who are likely to be interviewed by the media....have these folks in the big check picture if possible
2. Consider asking your photographer to shoot "environmental portraits" of your experts. An architect, for example, might be shown holding several rolled up architect's renderings under her arm. A construction executive can be shown holding a hard hat or other tools of his trade. Weekly newspapers that don't have big photo staffs would probably welcome these photos. Have these props available in the big check photo.
3. Have interior and exterior shots of your company available for the media. The interior shots can show people at work.

Red and pink have taken over retail displays and online promotions, as we hurdle toward February and Valentine’s Day. No shortage of choices to express our feelings about that special someone: jewelry, candy, flowers, or maybe an electronic-something with headphones, along with a memorable greeting card. When it comes to purchasing those gifts, food items, and e-somethings, seems like there could be more LOVE built into the process. When we swipe our plastic or fill in the order form, what do we get besi

For individuals looking for a highly lucrative income stream, owning a franchise can be the perfect jumpstart. Unlike creating a business from scratch, a franchise involves no guesswork, but rather, comes complete with instructions from A-Z so new owners do not have to reinvent the wheel. Franchises also have a success rate that far outnumbers the survival rate for independent businesses.While operating a franchise can yield a far greater return than creating an independent business, and often be

6. If you're sponsoring an event that doesn't necessarily warrant a story, call the photo desk at your local newspaper and let photographers know what's happening. Let them know that a big check will be involved.....they are still unusual and help get your photo published.
7. If a photographer from a newspaper or magazine takes photos at your company, never demand to see the negatives, or dictate what photo they should use with the article, or ask for free copies of prints. The negatives are the property of the media outlet, and the media maintains full control over their use. If you want prints, expect to pay for them. Try to ensure that the photographer gets a photo of the big check exchange.
8. When sending prints to the media, be sure correct identification is on a sticker on the back of each photo. When sending several photos, slip a piece of paper between each one so the ink from the back of one photo doesn't bleed onto the front of the photo behind it.
9. Avoid using big clunky photos at your website because they slow down the time it takes a page to load....big check photos on your website show that you care and are active in the community.
10. In addition to the check passing photo, take a photo that illustrates what the money will be used for.
11. Make sure you offer all your images as digital photos that the media can access at your website, perhaps in a password protected area that the public can't access.
12. If you're sponsoring an annual event, take lots of photos yourself and offer them to the media the following year to be used for pre-event publicity. The big check photo can
