Pitching Your Biz to Media
I read the Small Business Brief Blog daily and this week they featured a 2-part series of articles by Rembrandt Communications on How to Pitch the Media Part I and Part II. I encourage you all to read them. Many small and micro businesses make the mistake of thinking that reporters have to come to them to get a feature and nothing could be further from the truth. Big businesses pitch to media all of the time and so can you! Reporters need stories and you need exposure. It’s a win/win situation for everyone when the right connection is made.
Realistically, it may be that you hear several NO’s before you get the golden YES!, but you’ll never know until you try.
