aster showman PT Barnum said, “A terrible thing happens without publicity … NOTHING!” Whether you’re a one-person road show or a major corporation, you need people to know about you. Publicity is your best friend if used well and is a terrible waste if ignored. Publicity is the most overlooked marketing tool and also the least expensive, least risky…

Publicity, public relations, and advertising

Publicity is free media exposure for your product or service. Public relations (PR) is the overall planning and strategy for dealing with the media. Advertising is paying to promote your product or service. Say, for example, you have a lemonade stand. Your PR strategy is to use word of mouth to promote your product. With the little extra money you have, you hire your brother to post flyers (advertising). In the mean time, a thirsty runner with no money jogs by and you give her a cool drink on the house. Because she’s the editor of your local paper, the next day your lemonade stand is prominently displayed on the front page. Business booms. That’s publicity.

Goals, Intentions, and Strategies to …Get Noticed!

July 27th, 2011 by jill

Identify your objectives; know precisely what you want to achieve.

When you’re clear about your goals, you can explain them to others. If others understand what you need, they will be better able to help. The clearer you are about your goals the more likely you will be to create a plan that will accomplish them.

Before I attend meetings or events, I set goals. I decide what I would like to accomplish. Since meetings usually have specific agendas, I identify what I would like to achieve. Defining my goals helps me when I finally meet with people; it helps my focus by subconsciously keeping on track.

July 5th, 2011 by jill

1. Type, never handwrite. Double space, use BIG margins, and leave lots of white space. Editors use the white space to edit.

Secrets to Successful Connecting

June 22nd, 2011 by jill

By Jill Lublin
Connecting is the art of building relationships; relationships that last. It’s the forming of bonds with people that can grow into deeper, closer, more meaningful relationships.

To create solid connections, follow these suggestions:

Perfect your art. Deliver top quality. Do what you do excellently, as well as it can be done. “There is no substitute for quality,” T. Harv Eker states.

People love to refer others to those who provide the top quality.” It makes them look good.

THIS IS BIG!

May 4th, 2009 by admin

I’ve had such an incredible month: speaking for Tony Robbins at the Ultimate Business Mastery Summit along w/Jay Abraham and Stephen Covey. It was an incredible opportunity.

Plus, I was featured in the Marin Independent Journal (http://www.marinij.com/lifestyles/ci_12033656) for my TV show: Messages of Hope and then, to top it off I was a guest on The View From the Bay (http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=view_from_the_bay/women_entrepreneurs&id=6787217) All of this is during the recession economy.

My point is this… use whatever is happening in the media to your advantage. For instance, if the media wants to scare us about the economy – my question to you is: how can you be an expert on the down economy?

PUBLICITY IN A DOWN ECONOMY

April 22nd, 2009 by admin

I’ve been enjoying teaching Crash Courses in Publicity throughout this first quarter and am very sensitive to how important it is to market in today’s down economy. Change any story you have to how to (fill in the blank) in today’s economy. This is so essential for success right now. I was just featured on Daytime TV in Tampa w/over 90 syndicated markets. My whole topic was about marketing in a down economy. This is the media topic that’s winning people over the most. On a more positive note – traveling around the country I can tell you that people are spending money. Please know that media is controlling the fear. You must not buy into it! Keep marketing and stay forward in front of people!
