Leave a comment and let me know how it goes for you.
With Sarah’s help and guidance I was able to get my product into the hands of 5 hot TV set dressers (including “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Cougar Town”) and meet with magazine editors. We are slated for mentions in Lucky, Self, and Allure! Sarah also gave me the confidence to follow up on actions that I needed to move forward in my business. Thank you for all your help, I couldn’t have done it without you!
I’ve been working with Sarah Shaw Consulting for just one month, and the results have already exceeded my expectations. Her program has given me the tools, confidence, and strategy I needed to start growing my supplement brand. In fact, within the first month I was able to secure placement for my supplement line inside a gym. The step-by-step guidance and real-world expertise Sarah provides make her program truly invaluable. I’m excited to see how much more progress I’ll make as I continue… Read more
“With just one little tweak of Sarah’s expertise, I amplified the results of this new launch by 600%. Just this one tweak, about how I was sequencing things and some of the communication I was doing with my list, dramatically changed my launch and I enrolled more participants and made more money. I had already put in hours developing this launch and this one tweak, this one piece of expertise made all the difference. Sarah is the real deal, she has mastered online sales and communication, and … Read more
I’ve worked with Sarah for about 3 months now and my line has been picked up in 2 new stores with a re-order 2 weeks later! She is very knowledgeable about sales/ marketing and knows how to get everything done! She truly felt like a partner for my business, and I look forward to working with her in the future.
Sarah Shaw is like Google, the entire How To section of Barnes and Nobles, Consumer Report and Yoda all wrapped up into one of the sweetest, most generous people you’ll ever meet. And I’m talking about stuff she doesn’t even claim to be an expert on. If you’re looking for someone to help you launch your business , you’d be a complete ding dong not to get coaching from her because I promise you, one minute with Sarah Shaw would be worth hours of some other “expert’s” time.… Read more
“In just one hour on the phone, Sarah gave me clarity in my pricing and bottom line… Our new product went off without a hitch. Thank you, Sarah!”
I LOVE working with Sarah! The best business decision I’ve made recently is joining Sarah’s Retail Revolution program to learn how to gain exposure and grow revenue for my handmade business, Shawn Sargent Designs. Sarah is that guiding and supportive voice in your head – and literally on the calls every week, which is an invaluable part of the program. Within three months of working with her, her expertise helped me land Real Simple’s Holiday issue as my first magazine feature, which provided a … Read more
I’ve decided that listening to the CEO mentor (I met before you) I’ve been working with who had a big box background and only online sales has made me feel so far away from my brand.This past week, I’ve identified what I needed to do to reclaim my gut feelings and get back to expressing my brand. A few months ago, I reluctantly gave in to her idea that I should have traditional shop pages. Since doing it, my online sales and visitors staying on site dropped. I tell you this because your work a… Read more
“I am a detailed person and hate when I buy something online and am not satisfied. It’s always hard to tell when you haven’t been face to face with online sellers on whether to buy or not. I took the whim with my gut and bought. Entreprenette’s celebrity program was just what I needed and was looking for! I know that I only have one first impression with these gatekeepers and Sarah Shaw gave me just the details I needed to know how to contact the celebrities camps to get them interested in my… Read more
I’m already getting orders from the email with the updated pricing that I just sent to my current stores. One day I’m gonna fly wherever you are and buy you a big glass of wine and hug you. Truly blessed that I stumbled upon your site that day. I know I pay you to help me but you’ve done so much for me and are worth every penny if not more.

[…] Tips on Getting Into Magazines […]
WOAH! What a wealth of information…
I think this article just ignited a fire in my belly to focus on getting some attention in magazines. Most definitely.
I suppose I was thinking, “Why haven’t I received much media attention?” I’ve gotten some consideration in blogs and such, but not in magazines.
Newsflash: it doesn’t just happen like that!
Thank you!
Great advice and leads as usual. Thank you!
Thanks so much, I just love all of these tips. Wish I had stumbled across this website sooner; it could have saved me some earlier steps. Will keep coming back for more valuable tips & tricks.
Happy Days and warmest regards,
Mel
Great tips, clearly from some great experts. I will come back to this one often…lots to dig in to.
Thanks for the great tips. The timing was perfect.
Lots of useful ideas.
Great suggestions, this was a very helpful page! One of the ways I started getting my cosmetics for oily skin noticed was by submitting articles, blogs, and press releases to a website called http://www.articlesbase.com. It sounds similar to the HARO site, where reporters can integrate your writing into their press pieces. I’ve found my press releases re-posted all over the place online, after submitting only one to the Articles Base Website.
Great ideas. One of the best ways to get into publications is to start local. Local magazines and “rags” are always looking to feature local businesses. Each time you are mentioned or featured, add it to your website or marketing materials (“As seen in…”). This will gain you credibility, not only with your local market, but with larger publications as well. There are also services out there like http://www.yourcoop.net that group advertisers together to share space and costs in cooperatives, making it affordable to small businesses to be seen in larger (and local) publications. Good luck!
This is a great article that offers excellent tips especially for a new business owner trying to gain visibility in the market. Thanks a lot.
This is an amazing article, I found it full of great tips and advice for new business owners. Lots of different feedbacks for different products and advertising methods. I will certainly be trying out a few of these ideas!
Thanks 🙂 Joy.

this is cool. I always wanted to get my website featured in seventeen magazine. I wonder if its best to email the editor or write them a written mail.
Just found your site and I’m so glad I did! Excellent article with so much valuable information. Thanks for sharing.
This article was extremely helpful. I can tell that the advice was honest and came from real people because 2 people gave the same advice, which means it must work for them, so it’s likely to work for me! Very useful and rich information! Bravo! And thank you!
Fantastic article and tips! Practical advise and easy to understand. Thanks!
Lots of great info here that I would not thought of, thanks for sharing
This is the most useful marketing-related info I’ve seen since we started out. Thanks a million.

Great article with plenty of excellent advise to work with! I also think the tips are meant for beginners, such as myself, but also for more advanced marketing/PR experts. Thanks!
Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you writing this write-up plus the rest of the site is also
really good.
I am glad that I found this article by doing a search before I wrote to editors about my new web design business, The Madhattan Agency. #41 was most helpful to me, “Call the editor and ask what they need. By calling before sending them an email, you stand outˆask what information they need in order to include you in their magazine.” Great article and I look forward to getting a write up. Thanks!
Best,
