There are definite steps you can take to initially launch your own PR campaign. But, if you can afford to hire a Public Relations firm, do so. Your job is to run your company, not to launch a media campaign. Effective PR is a full time job. But if you’re a small business owners, or start-up entrepreneurs who cannot afford to launch a full-scale campaign, but have neither the time nor the inclination to learn the ins-and-outs of launching your own campaign, your worst choice is to simply do nothing. Do some homework, read books on PR, write an initial press release, create a small targeted media list and get your press release out there. Check with firms and see if any of them offer PR starter program, or individual services, such as writing press releases, distributing releases to the media, etc. Consider meeting with a PR consultant for a few hours to review your campaign and make sure you on the right track. None of these choices are equivalent to launching full PR campaign and the same results cannot be expected, but they do offer options and ways for you to get your story to the media, while you continue to focus on your real job - running your business.
