Public Relations: The Long -Term View
Public Relations: The Long -Term View
Keep your eye on the long term. Remember, media placement is a long-term, cumulative
process. If you are only looking five weeks or even six months down the line, broaden your scope. Write down your short-term and long-term objectives. Where does media placement fit in? How can an effective media relations campaign help you achieve your objectives? Seek advice from others. But don't let someone else answer these questions for you. These are questions only you can answer.
Finally, don't come up with a plan that has you appearing on Oprah, The Tonight Show, or in Time Magazine and The Wall Street Journal within the first two months of your campaign. That's not a plan, that's fantasy. There is one particular client I worked with for several years who has been featured in most all of the major national TV programs and magazines. He was featured in many of them several times, but these interviews did not come about overnight. His success was the result of an ongoing five year campaign. This isn't to say that it takes five years to launch an effective campaign, but to emphasize the fact that, if you are going to launch an effective media campaign, be committed to the future. Effective PR and media placement are no luxuries, but necessary powerful, key marketing tools. Think of them as being as integral as any other essential part of your business.

When looking at launching a public relations campaign, you have to decide not only what media is applicable to your business, but also how you want to utilize your media. Stating that you want media to bring in more clients, customers, or patients isn't good enough. Study your business plan. How can media placement help you meet your objectives? Do you want to increase your business by a third in one year? Do you want to open another store or branch? Do you want to take a product national? What are your long term goals? Without such goals, you have no way to measure the success of the campaign.
