Public Relations
Publicity is an extremely effective marketing tactic. It’s very cost-effective, has great longevity, carries enormous credibility and can reach a wide audience. The return on your investment resulting from a successful publicity campaign (e.g. a write up/mention in a publication) will always be far superior than any advertising you could do.
Some ways in which a small company can gain publicity would be by:
- Donating, products, services or money, to a non-profit community organization.
- Sponsoring a local event.
- Creating/organizing a community event.
- Speaking at a community event or trade show.
- Exhibiting at a trade show.
