Small Business Press Releases--A Powerful Marketing Tool

Need Customers To Notice Your Small Business? 

In today’s crowded market place, you must employ every tool you can to attract the attention of your customers.  If you are not using regular press releases to be heard and known, you are wasting one of your most powerful and cost-effective tools.   Small business press releases will attract more customers.  And you don’t need a PR Department to get this done. 

Let me give you four reasons why regular press releases should be part of your marketing plan.  They're an easy way to get your business noticed.

The Power of a Press Release

Which is more credible to you?   A commercial ad or a press release?  Studies show people find a press release seven times more credible than a commercial ad.   Why?

We have been conditioned.  We become suspicious because we know an ad is going to try and sell us something.   A press release, however, provides facts to us.  We believe it.

We believe it because some editor or reporter has signed off on the press release, making it OK.  We believe it because good press releases are written in the third person voice.  That makes them more believable.

I will continue this in the  next post.  Feel free to make comments or ask questions by hitting the Comment button.
