What PR can do for your brand
2012/04/05 6:00 AM
Learning how to leverage good PR for yourself is a total MUST to keep any business afloat! Once you have some PR, it will give you credibility which makes buyers feel more comfortable about buying from you – especially if you are a new brand. Staying on top of your media calendar is the key to a successful PR campaign. Be sure to look at all the magazine websites and click on the media kit tab and make a calendar you can follow to pitch on target each month.
Here are a few to get you started:
Condenast.com Select magazine and media kit – most have editorial calendars
Hearst.com Select magazine on left and then select media kit. You cannot get it for Oprah. Some have editorial calendars and others you have to look at the advertising calendar.
Timeinc.com Most have editorial calendars

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. — Jen Sincero![]()
