OWN YOUR STORY
Without a full swing, you can’t make a full impact.
You worry you’re not reaching all of the customers who could benefit from your services. You see your competitors in the news, but the few times you’ve put out a press release to try and get media attention, you heard crickets.
You are not really sure how to effectively tell the story of your business in a way that is compelling.
You want more credibility in your industry.
You want more eyes on your business.
You want to increase your revenue.
Yet, you struggle to carve out time for PR because you’re spending your time actually running your business. And, even if you had time for PR, you’re not sure where to start.
I know the story because I help female leaders like you every day. Women like you kick ass at running your businesses, but you need support when it comes to raising brand awareness and driving more traffic to their business doors (or URLs)!
PR has fallen to the end of your to-do list. Don’t worry, you’re not the only one! Perfect is the enemy of the good, or maybe you worry your small business can’t afford an agency to help. You’ve procrastinated, but you know deep down that telling your story is important if you want to reach your bottom-line goals.
You’re struggling to figure out how you can do your own PR efficiently,
without it sucking your eyeballs out.
Here’s the thing. PR is not your core business. Buying, selling, consulting, serving your clients—that’s the world you know. And it’s totally fine to keep it that way. You just need an expert with marketing chops who can give you tried and true frameworks to help you slay your company’s PR
without putting a lot of time or money into it.
You want to know the latest and greatest from the experts, but you can’t afford expert prices right now. You’ve heard that PR delivers greater ROI than ads. A 2014 Nielson study found it’s almost 90% more effective than advertising because of the credibility it carries with consumers.
Investing in your knowledge of PR, and building it into the operating system of your business is worth it. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel,
but it is a good idea to teach yourself how to drive the damn car.
