Have you gotten local publicity?

4 replies
Hi everyone,


I'm repurposing some existing content into a new online course on how to get local publicity. There could be some publicity in this for you!



If you have received local media coverage for your business or for a nonprofit that you're involved with, I may be able to feature you briefly as an example in the course. I'd describe what you did to get the publicity in a couple of sentences and also use a photo of you or your product.


I'm particularly interested in examples where you used social media in this effort, such as Twitter, YouTube or Facebook. Traditional publicity efforts like phone calls to reporters or press releases also count, though.



As I said, my focus is LOCAL publicity. National publicity of course is wonderful but that's not my topic this time around.


You can instant-message me here, post the example publicly so we can all learn from your success, or email me.


Thank you!

      And, so? How's about reading what Marcia's after?

      Press releases on Patch.com, for events.

      Press release and facebook and local TV station for events... giving away product to military personnel in connection with a non-for-profit organization that helps vets and active duty personnel. (The facebook part worked better than the spot on TV!)

    Interesting idea. Do you have personal experience with that and an example you're willing to share? If so, please contact me privately.
