ARTICLES

Getting articles placed locally has a cumulative effect that contributes to the total approach to everywhere marketing. People rarely remember where they saw an article or what it said.

 

They might remember a company's name or a principal's name if they see them enough times in enough places. This is why all bases must be covered not just the large national publications.

How To Go National:

  • Develop a trusting relationship with editor-in-chief

  • Any project that is the 1st in the world

  • Great photography

  • Famous people attached to project

  • Give exclusivity

  • Learn patience
