Our PR project will be to first identify which sources and what methods we will be employing to reach out to the follwoing groups.
Editors / Journalists
We will want this approach to be both mass outreach and personal contact. The goal of the mass outreach will be to generate incoming interest communication and to build a targeted dasebase for personal contact. The primary focus we will be the personal ongoing contact of strategicly aligned media outlets, such as free lance writers that cover small business interests and editors for business and finance areas of publications. Another focus here we be all online media outlet sources such as blog writers for small business and finance.
Press Releases and Articles
We will be submitting one article with an associated press release per week. We will therefore want to research to determines the best article and press release formats and the best/most cost effective sources for their distribution. Paul Counts can most likely target our research here.
