Five Important Principles of Digital PR Part Two
4. Be Aware of Your Goal and Desired Outcome
It's tempting to get overwhelmed by your client's prospects, but it's always easier to be mindful of your limits. This rational approach will assist you in setting limits on how much time you spend on different activities.
For example, if you know your client is focused on generating new business leads, formulate a plan to assist them.
If you know, they trust traditional media like issuing of flyer printing but aren't interested in social media, make it a priority to pursue the big hitters like TV and radio.
5. Know Your Pitch and Acknowledge It If It Doesn't Succeed
You only have one chance to catch the interest of a media personality, whether he/she is a news anchor or an advertising agent, while you're interacting with them.
Use a few catchphrases or keywords that sum up your future plot as a helpful hint. It's also better to jot down some notes before your phone call, so you don't lose track of where you're going and stumble.
Don't force it if they aren't interested or don't see a match for their publication after carefully explaining your concept. Accept and pass on respectfully.
You never know if you will get lucky the next time, so don't take any risks. Always keep in mind that relationships come first before any other thing.
