Got a Budget: get the Power of Publicity

In Public Relations, Publicity on May 7, 2011 at 9:58 pm

No matter what type of business you’re in, you can’t beat the power of publicity for drawing attention to all that you have to offer.  Whether you’re selling green tea, music or looking for more acting gigs, your exceptional products or services won’t matter if your target market doesn’t know about you.  Simply put, it’s your opportunity to put a friendly face on your business/service and acquaint the marketplace with who you are and what you do.

The nightly news and daily newspapers are still here. But, they are evolving too. We understand that a media outlet has more than one avenue. Your customers can still find you by tuning in, or turning a page.

However, the added dimension of social media means they can also receive their news via tweet, RSS feed, a post or blog. Traditional PR channels still exist and we work with them every day. But the power of PR lies in understanding that more than one publicity opportunity resides within each outlet.

EOTM Public Relations is a innovative and aggressive PR firm that delivers results. Regardless of your industry, we understand that you need to have your story told by the media in order to build awareness… and more importantly… drive sales. Let us help!

It seems that more and more, we are turning to Twitter for the latest news and events around the world.  Even public safety officials are using Twitter to stay on top of the latest developments. We know that the public, first responders and journalists are using Twitter to learn about trends and breaking news. As of late, there has been a spike in media and pr professionals utilizing twitter to their advantage and EOTM PR is one of them.

“One way to stay on top of breaking news related to your clients is to set up searches on Twitter for general topic areas related to your client’s work.  For example, set up a search for “booking actors” and “actors” in addition to your client’s name if their work is in the entertainment field. While it may not catch all of the latest news for booking actors, you may see a few tweets relating to an upcoming casting that you can start to follow”, Carla Barnes, Senior Publicist for EOTM said in an recent interview.

Right now there is no better source for breaking news than Twitter, and EOTM PR professionals are using this to their advantage whenever possible. “You should keep your tools for monitoring Twitter open all day and check it regularly because you never know when the perfect opportunity for your client will come up”, Barnes said.

What has your Publicist tweeted for you lately?

There’s no question that Twitter is the new playground for media relations. It’s a new frontier, that when managed professionally, can serve as a powerful platform and one of the best resources for getting a message out to the masses.

Does Negative Publicity Help or Hurt your Business?

In Public Relations, Publicity, Uncategorized on January 26, 2011 at 10:11 pm

By: Carla B

@EOTMpr

 

 

 

A couple days ago I asked this very question on my facebook page, “Does negative publicity help or hurt your business?”

In my humble opinion, I do believe negative publicity helps a business. Lots of movie stars seems to thrive on negative publicity. Several others have intentionally orchestrated negativity publicity to get into the limelight although many won’t admit it.

But there’s one word of caution here, if your business has a lousy product that no one wants or the business uses unethical means and abuses the customer’s trust then no amount of publicity positive or negative will help.

Why does negative publicity work?

I hate to say this but as a society, people love to see people fight, love to see a super star fall apart whether it’s a 50 cent, Michael Jackson, Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears. Our society gets its thrills from seeing successful people fall apart. Donald Trump came into the public eye when he was close to a $ 10 billion bankruptcy and in the middle of a dirty divorce. When the Gap unveiled a new logo last year, the reaction was swift, intense and very, very negative. In fact, some people detested the look so much it actually inspired them: somebody set up a Twitter account (@GapLogo) that purported to speak in the unpopular design’s voice, and someone else built a site called CrapLogo.me that made it easy to convert any short text into an imitation of the brand’s new style. The Gap tried to pivot off the negative buzz by asking the online hate mob for advice, in a sort of “crowd sourcing” gimmick, but that didn’t go over well, either. In just four days, the company capitulated and announced that it would not change its logo after all.

Britney Spears stays in the limelight for all the wrong reasons and who can forget the late great Michael Jackson from court cases to financial troubles.

I am not saying they are intentionally orchestrating negative publicity, but the point I am making is negative publicity is giving them media attention and they are getting visibility for themselves.  How they use this visibility is an entirely different ball game altogether.

Better that people are talking about your brand than not…just my two cents.

Saytue’s take on Internet Marketing

Saytue Saye Internet Marketing Specialist

 

Internet Marketing should be the basis for every company in this day and age. If you are not doing Internet Marketing, strategically, guess what?! You don’t exists!!

FACT is, 95% of businesses started online are doomed to fail. The root of most mistakes you’ll make in business, you must overcome these common roadblocks to be ahead of the game with fewer headaches and disappointments.

Business is not a get rich scheme or a push button method to get rich fast. Strategic planning is the only way to a successful business and the action to play its part in “vision”.
A lot of entrepreneurs go around thinking that “access to information is what separates the winners from the losers” and that “the smartest person in the room should be the most successful.”

So, Now, having the right information and knowing how to work hard are important. But they are only tools. The only deciding factors when it comes to business success are often easily overlooked. Yet these elements are absolutely vital.
If you are that struggling marketer needing help, then I will be sharing some helpful tips that will get you that much closer to winning. (I don’t want to read this article just take me where I can get my internet marketing help.) Or just keep reading.

There are many businesses out there that have very little or no online exposure and that is where Power 3 Marketing comes into play. It is not affiliate marketing in the traditional sense…actually it is not affiliate marketing at all. It is a business model you use to help offline businesses get exposure on the internet. Having online presence is a must for any business these days, that wants to remain competitive. However, many business owners have no clue where to begin and that is where you come in, with the training from Power 3 Marketing. There are actually three different levels of Power 3 Marketing: Basic Training, Gold Training and Elite Training. Each level offers some excellent techniques to get you started in your P3 business.

Carla’s take on Public Relations — Ethics

Carla B is a seasoned leader in Public Relations and Media

 

I absolutely love these types of show whereas we can empower minds with food for thought! These shows are dedicated to the elite group of professionals that take the time to hone in on they’re craft. The central purpose of my portion of the show will be to provide an overview of ethics in public relations.

Every Public Relations organization has a code of ethics which the members are expected to abide. The primary objective of this code of ethics is to form guidelines to educate members on how they should conduct themselves in their professional lives. Despite these guidelines, ethics in individual practice is deeply troubling for PR professionals and consistent violation has been a matter of debate for years. Most critics have complained that the ethics ‘have no teeth’ and one cynic as quoted by PR Sourcewatch says, “real ethical behavior is expensive, and that’s where the PR industry’s ethical dilemma
originates. All of the major public relations firms routinely engage in unethical practices and they don’t do it because they are evil people. They do it because their wealthy clients have problems, and cleaning up their image is often easier and cheaper than cleaning up their mess’.

In this section I will also discuss how having a strong sense of ethics and of how to arrive at ethical decisions can enhance the career prospects of public relations professionals. Hope you can make it! Check out my Public Relations and Blog Site for more info on me. www.eotmmediagroup.com

Gucci Mane Ice Cream Tattoo Proves He’s Crazy..?

Gucci Mane sporting his new tattoo

If he was looking for a creative defense on his recent string of probation violations, the ice cream tattoo should definitely put him closer to his supposedly mental disorder angle. The rapper, who was recently released from a psychiatric facility after pleading “mental incompetency”, had an ice cream cone tattooed onto his face earlier this month.

Yes, you heard and seen it right. Gucci Mane is now sporting a cone with three scoops on his right cheek, complete with the word “Brrr” and several red lightning bolts!!

Mane was recently released from the psychiatric facility, it is unclear what his release means for his probation status.

Gucci’s team probably thought they could use mental instability to help get him off, especially considering he has never presented himself as a emcee with any real lyrical depth; and the majority of his rhymes being nonsensical and lacking critical thinking.  Nevertheless, I don’t feel most of Gucci’s fans would have ever speculated that he was mentally incompetent, but nice try.

The Social Network Wins BIG at the Golden Globes

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – The “Social Network” won top honors Sunday at the Golden Globes with four prizes, including best drama and director, solidifying its prospects as an Academy Awards favorite. Congrats!

The Social Network received more nominations than any other movie this year from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which runs the Golden Globe Awards.

While Facebook publicists maintain that the movie isn’t a factually correct account of the company, the public has come to regard it as such. So the multiple Globe wins, including best dramatic picture, seems to benefit the real-life social network.

The timing of the Globes tends to influence people’s expectations for the Oscars, although the former includes television while the latter only deals with movies. Nominations for the 83rd annual Academy Awards are expected to be announced at 8:30 am January 25, and the ceremony will take place February 27.
