WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE HITS ONCE THEY COME OUT?

As has been posted before on RonnTorossian.com, per 2 clients who I had this discussion with today, wanted to report this… Many people ask us at 5W PR "What Do We Do With The Hits Once They Come Out":

Its been said that: "Articles are often more valuable after they are published than when they were first published."

Recommendations: Use & Utilize a Public Relations book. Select an attractive three-ring binder and place the company name and logo on the cover, such as 5WPR. Insert every product’s marketing article and include a copy of the magazine cover in which the article appeared. Place it on the CEO's desk for important visitors to view. Also make duplicates for other C-level executives and sales managers. Visitors can see the book immediately and be impressed.

Frame reprints and line your walls to impress visitors - Post articles on company Intranet to boost employee morale.

Courtesy of Odwyers (www.odwyerspr.com), 25 ways for increasing the value of articles:
