Share responsibly 

The recipe of success has a very important ingredient called PR. Although most of people in marketing use this term very loosely, few understand that maintaining public relation is incredibly important. It is precisely why businesses pay thousands of dollars to PR managers and agents.

Obviously start-ups cannot afford such marketing costs, but that does not mean that they have to suffer against the huge competition. With right kind of efforts, the results will be positive. Here are some of the latest trends that can help you.

1.     Don’t take your business too seriously

We are incredibly proud of what we do and it might mean the world to us, but, unfortunately people are not really interested in it. You are just any other company to them and they do not like bragging. Try not to get serious with press releases and public interactions trying to make a point that does not exist.

Take-home tip: Use more ‘you’ than ‘we’.

2.  Tailor the pitches with research

You might have the best copywriter or PR spokesperson and it will not make any difference till you know about the customers. Reach out to their lives and try to understand what can get them interested. It is the best way to get noticed. After all, we all love a bit of personalized.

Take-home tip: Know what they want.

3.  Do not waste their time

Do not try to fill the white space on papers, emails and videos. Long is not at all cool if it does not make any sense or provides any value to the audience. Rather than starting with an unrelated story or idiom, come to the point. Your audience will certainly respect you for that. No body really has time anyway.

Take-home tip: Jump to the point.

4.  They got to trust you

A large part of public relations and marketing is about making people respect and trust you. And unfortunately it is the most difficult part too. It takes years of efforts and pure dedication to serve and communicate. Make sure that you are at least on the right path.

Take-home tip: Be positive and helpful to start with.

5.  It is a long-term investment

In any case if you are expecting PR results in few weeks, it is only going to disappoint you. Public Relations should only be seen as a long-term investment that will yield results after a while. Anything else will be just too demanding.

Take-home tip: Be patient.
