What will happen if your competitor reaches the
media with a new product or additional service
before you do? Today many people turn to the media
for information. The media can launch your product
or service to stardom or instant failure. However,
the media and press can never give us the full story
of an event because they are limited to a few inches
of space.
This is where your press release comes in. It
requires little space but can have the same affect or
better than a lengthy column occupying more space.
What the media or press presents is greatly
condensed due to time, space, audience interests
and comparison to other events. This is the
information age and due to the enormous amounts of
it, you have to turn to the media to get a sense of
what information may be beneficial to you and your
business. The media and press are constantly
attacked for apparently not reporting the facts or the
correct information. In order for a business to have
its position fairly and accurately reported to the
public, it is important to have a media relations
program to channel information to the press.
Remember that a major change in one sector of your
market can have implications for the other sectors.
Don't wait for the media to report or not report what
it wants to about your company. Businesses must
actively provide information to the purchaser. What
will happen if your competitor reaches the media
with a new product or additional service before you
do?
