Marketing Begins At Home: Consider yourself warned

  • Kevin Dugan · 2 years ago
    Here's the bumper sticker:

    Don't Pitch. Participate.

    The big problem I forsee is that it takes time. And, while the end result is well worth the time, time is money.

    Clients see technology speeding things up, but in a lot of ways its requiring PR people to "slow things down." More outlets, more opportunities, more customization. Yet few are managing client expectations accordingly.

    To recap: Jeremiah is right. But client expectations need to change. We make that happen. We define them. Then we manage them. Then we exceed them.

    What's your take?

    It is especially tough when you are a start up going the DIY path. You may have the greatest product since sliced bread (and of course I think we do), but it is difficult to invest that time when you have competing demands, a small staff, and a million relevant websites you can contact.

    Nice tips.. A personal touch always works better than the stale old press release.
