Hub You - Getting Restaurant Press
So what is it about cutting the umbilical cord that appeals to so many, fed up with the hierarchy and red tape of the corporate jungle? Anil, a 32 year old I.T outsourcing entrepreneur feels his work not only defines what he does, but who he is. “I have effectively re-invented myself and achieved unbelievable success that I would never have seen as an employee in my old company”. In many ways, achievement on your own is harder and daunting, but the exhilaration of

What storylines do you use to hook the media to build your business and brand?If your engagement with the media were a boat, what boat would you use to float your ideas?Stories help build brands. Especially in a low trust world, so your stories must be both authentic and engaging.Most brands don't rely on just one storyline. They use several depending on the audience they are trying to reach.Here are the third (and final) seven of what I cal
What you need to start working the media
First you need to do is put together a restaurant press kit. Make sure you have a restaurant fact sheet that describes the detailed information about your establishment. Include any relevant articles such as reviews etc. All of you menus should be printed and included; breakfast, lunch, dinner, wine, specialty drinks, even your beer list.
Pictures are also a must. Get some high quality shots of your restaurant and several food pictures as well. Have associated food recipes for the pictures. The more the better, you never know when you’ll need one on the fly. A good picture and bio of key personnel, like the Chef, is also a nice touch and can be very valuable.
Next you will want to put a list of possible topics that you or your staff can be considered experts on. Be creative here, try to anticipate what stories would show you in the best light, what type of news or situations are on the horizon, or what type of news story you can create. Restaurant press can come in almost any form.
Present it with the right look and feel
Time for a Staples run! You’re going to have to give some thought on how you want to present all the material you have gathered. If you are a five star dining establishment, your restaurant press kit should present yourself accordingly. A package for a sports bar should give a feeling of a sports bar. Remember, you are presenting your restaurant so keep it real. Make sure you put together enough to go to all of the newspaper and televisions in your area.
Hitting the pavement
Now it’s time to find out who is writing the stories in your area. Take out the paper or search the Internet to find who is covering food and beverage related topics in your area. Another good resource is the television news channels, as well as any local programming like morning shows. Put together a comprehensive list with as many individuals as possible. The ones that you came across the most I want you to highlight.
The highlighted reporters are going to need your special attention. I strongly suggest going and introducing yourself personally to. Dress to impress, and be armed with your media kit and don’t forget your business cards. Be prepared to offer suggestions for stories and to talk about recent stories that have been of special interest. Make sure you let the reporter know you are always available for expert comments or advice in a pinch if they need you. You should also make sure they have your personal telephone number.

What is a "White Paper"?A “white paper” is just one of many types of viral marketing mechanisms that you can use in your business to qualify and attract streams of clients, whether you’re awake or asleep, at work or on holiday.
