What Are You Waiting For?

Friday, December 9th, 2011

We’ve been in business for 11 years now.  We’ve had our share of ups and downs but overall, we’ve been very fortunate to have a thriving business that has met both our financial and personal needs. One of the greatest lessons we’ve learned, especially recently as we move into our twelfth year, is that to achieve your goals you have to have a “make it or break it” mindset. In other words, go for it, all out, no regrets.  Give it everything you have now.

This is important particularly when it comes to PR. Public relations is often one of those things that comes second to business operations.  And yet, relating to your publics well must go hand-in-hand with your everyday operations.  If you’re not forging good relationships and improving the ones you have every day through every interaction, then your business may eventually fizzle out and your operations will be for naught.

If you have a list of PR or promotional ideas for your business, either written or in your head, pick the top three and implement them. Be clear about your goals, do the best job you can, and enjoy the process of building strong relationships with the people that matter most to your business success.

So what are you waiting for? Your public is waiting. Reach out to them today.

Event Promotion Packages

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

The success of an event greatly relies on its marketing and promotion. In fact, in our previous blog post, we discuss the recent article about the Philadelphia Orchestra’s bankruptcy filing, the organization’s President Alison Vulgamore said, “…We actually have not marketed our concerts very well, and not spent sufficient funds on marketing.”

We want all businesses and organizations to succeed with their events. To that end, we offer Event Promotion Packages ranging from $1,500 to $5,000. If your event needs a larger-scale, customized PR plan, we can do that as well, or add services to the set packages (priced separately). Depending on your budget and staffing, our job ranges from guiding you through the implementation to coordinating all of it.

Contact us today at info@fmpr.net to request our Event Promotion Packages price list and to find out how we can help you meet your event’s attendance and financial goals.

Target Publics: What’s the Janitor’s Name?

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

A while ago, we traveled to Oahu with a friend and client who is also a local college culinary arts professor. We were eating at a restaurant and as soon as the waitress approached, our client looked at the waitress’ name tag and addressed her by name. After Kara took our order, our client explained, “You know, I always put this question on my students’ test: what’s the name of the janitor who cleans here?” He said that students in the service industry need to understand that everyone in a restaurant is important, from the dishwasher to the chef, and should be recognized for making the business work.

The Email Blast – Quick, Cheap, Easy, Effective PR

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

We hear it time and time again…a business needs a quick, cheap, easy, effective way to reach out to customers. One solution is doing an email blast, or eblast, which is an email message that is sent to a mass recipient list. An eblast can be sent once-in-a-while or regularly, such as a monthly e-newsletter. We recommend doing eblasts via online email marketing companies, such as Constant Contact or Vertical Response. These companies allow you to upload and maintain your contact list on their websites, and their programs have the ability to send your email to hundreds or thousands of people safely and effectively. In some cases, if an individual sent an email to a lengthy list of recipients from their own email account, their recipients email servers could automatically block the message as spam, or junk mail. With Constant Contact or Vertical Response, you can rest assured that all the hard work that you put in your email message was worth it and your email will get to your customer. Let’s delve more into the reasons that eblasts are quick, cheap, easy and effective. (more…)

Email Best Practices to Boost Your PR

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Information is moving at the speed of light these days, and while email can be a quick and convenient business tool, it’s worth it to take the time and care to use them well.  Your customers’ perceptions of your business are not only derived from your store front or offerings, but by all the different ways you put yourself out into the public.  Good email etiquette is just as important as having a good product, service, or return policy.  Below are a few common examples of business email best practices that can give you a PR advantage: (more…)
