Visibility is a key factor when it comes to making sales. Unless you are visible in the different media platforms, you will not be able to grab the attention of your target market. This is why companies invest in huge sum of money just from publicity and promotion. They need it.
If you get the attention of journalists, you increase the likability of boosting customer attention as well. This is why marketing departments of different companies do careful strategizing on how to promote their company name and product to the reporters. Printing press kits is one of the proven effective ways to do this.
But the process of conveying your message does not end with journalists looking at your story. You need to provide information that will be useful for your market as well. Reporters are the medium or purveyors of what you want to say. The message matters a lot. Below are the thing that you should not forget when you start to prepare your press kits.
Company information. The basic thing you can include in your kit is the general information of your company. This includes the year when it is established, the founding members, the mission, vision and number of recognitions that you receive in the past. Anything that will help reporters get an overview of who you are and what you are selling to the public needs to be included in here.
Gist of the event. If you are planning to introduce a new product, you should at least give its unique selling proposition. You do not necessarily have to provide the full details so that you retain the element of mystery on your product. However, be keen on giving the most important thing about it. Start with a bang. Reporters love this.
Previous news reference. If your company has been mentioned by a previous news portal, then include it. If you have some notable online review about your products, the use it as reference. This will help reporters get to know you better in case it is their first time hearing about you.
FAQs. Scheduling a one on one interview with various networks may not be possible given your own tight schedule. In this case, provide beforehand some FAQs that you think must be included on the report or you think the reporters will want to know. Of course, this has to be related to the current project that you are introducing.
Contact Details. Of course, do not forget the contact information. If there are information which you fail to provide in the kit and journalists would want to verify, they will need to call your office. Provide contact details including the name of the person that they should get in touch to. Needless to say, be sure that the number is reachable and the person is available.
Being visible can take some time. Everyone is competing for the same attention and you do not have a hundred percent guarantee that you make it to the cut. The next time you call the press for an important announcement, consider checking the things we listed here and see if you have provided them in their kits.
