Your PR Doctors Ten Top Reasons That Tell Yout Its Time to Hire a Publicist or Public Relations Firm
Today’s businesses and business professionals wonder how they can possibly know if they need to hire a publicist or a public relations firm. Obviously there are many factors to consider when making this decision. To provide some guidance to businesses, here are ten top reasons that provide confirmation you need to hire a publicist or PR firm.
1. The news releases you have prepared and submitted never or very rarely are used by the media.
2. There is a significant lack of PR savvy internally within your company.
3. Your media kits are not designed to be consistent with the firm’s image and are not designed with the flexibility to be tailored to varying media needs.
4. There are no significant relationships established with the media and therefore you are easily ignored. And there are no solid media contacts lists.
5. There is no real strategic communications and public relations plan for the company.
6. The efforts put forth in opinion pieces, “pitch letters” and actual media kit content are totally ineffective.
7. There is no follow-up on any news releases, story pitches, etc.
8. Your competitors are constantly in the print and electronic media and you are nowhere to be found in the media.
9. You are turning down interview opportunities because you are not prepared and do not have someone to manage the interview requests.
10. You are not benefiting from increased awareness of your business, products and/or services through exposure in the media.
If you and your company identify with these reasons and are unsure of what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and who to do it with, please contact Glenn Ebersole through his web site at www.prdoctor4u.com or email at jgeprman@aol.com to learn more about working with the media.

Re: Is facebook adverts effective?
- We have done it for our online live tutoring services. But, I have decided not to use it again because we could know that there were around 250 clicks in a week ,but we could not see capitalise a single student. We targeted UK based 24-30 or something. We actually received a very few (I think around5 out of 250 clicks!) ... They too seem to be Indians and Pakistanis residing in the UK with a full time student visa, which prevents them from taking online lessons from us (then why they clicked our ads and even contacted us mean, I think, they do not going to lose anything!) ... So, I realised that our target market UK based PART TIME ACCA and CIMA students do not use FaceBook to browse ACCA and CIMA related sites although they use FaceBook. So, as our website is for ACCA and CIMA courses, probably it might have been shown in ACCA and CIMA FaceBook groups, where FULL TIME students were browsing it. So, I think it is we, selected the wrong medium .... Not to blame FaceBook I think .... So, it mainly depends on your target market, where they reside and actually from that area/country, truly would your target group see your adverts ? Much to consider ....

If i had more time... but since I don' have it i go strictly to other marketing methods, that brings in more targeted traffic, like article marketing.
Single mother business
- Hi Evan,
Every problem can be solved. Check these four 'T' points:
1. THINK that you are important. Therefore one can do anything one
sets her mind to. This can be applied to many different types of
businesses. Perhaps she has set her mind on a specific market.
With the help of the internet one can explore avenues of possible
area to fill the need.
2. TRUST yourself that you are able. It doesn't matter, if you make a
mistake. You know your strength and weaknesses. Concentrate on
strength, this is your potential.
3. TEAM-UP with somebody. Perhaps a friend, who has some experience
in this. You can get good advice and encouragement. There are
Nay-sayers out there, just ignore them. Look for positive and achievers
These can be a great strength.
Finally,
4. TIME for your children. When you have a routine set up, you can plan
ahead to be with them. As they get older, they will understand the
reason for you to work.
Kindest Regards

Re: Email Marketing, Permission Based
- I agree that a double-opt-in (i.e. confirmed opt-in) system of email marketing is the best method.
Of course, having people confirm their subscription is no guarantee that they will read your email!
Signing up subscribers is only the FIRST stage. The next thing you need to get is their TRUST, and the best way to "get" is not to "sell" but to "give"...
- give freebies
- give useful, valuable tips
- get the subscribers to feel that opening your mail is something WORTH SPENDING TIME ON. Entertain them, make them laugh, but always give them something of value connected to the niche market that your newsletter deals with.
- invite feedback
- use the [[firstname]] tag, and don't be afraid to use it in the newsletter title field either!
Cheers,
David H
