No company can expect much return from the marketplace unless it is recognized by prospective customers, stockholders and the public for what it does and how it operates.

Seem obvious? Why then is the element of communications planning so often overlooked? Some complain that attempts to create greater recognition, or to sculpt public impressions isn’t needed. These skeptics feel that their company is doing a good job without proactive public communications. Then, why aren’t customers, investors and the best employees beating a path to their door?

Waiting to be discovered can take quite a financial toll on your company. Your company competes with thousands of others. Often times, the main difference between you and others is whether your communications program is established by default, or as a result of careful planning.

Public relations (PR) helps reinforce your marketing. It makes your advertising work better. It can’t guarantee 100-percent control over content, display, position and frequency, as does advertising. But what it lacks in frequency, PR can make up for in reach. PR can deliver the product/service message through a variety of media that could never be included in the most lavish advertising plan.

Sound PR is an integral part of maintaining a successful business. Competition for customers is keen. Having a successful business depends on properly building a solid foundation through effective media, customer and employee relations.

Successful media relations – nurtured over time through relationships with media contacts – can help establish an ongoing, positive awareness of your company and the products and/or services it provides. It can inform and excite customers and employees.

Good public relations (PR) is a carefully planned, sustained effort to establish your company identity, maintain credibility and promote communications between your company and the public. It means getting the word about your company to the media so that they, in turn, will keep your name and good deeds in front of their audience—your potential customers.

When someone makes a claim, you typically say, “How do you know?” The reply you most commonly hear is “I read it or heard it,” not, “From a commercial.” Using the media to deliver a message is a type of endorsement that is impossible to achieve through any type of advertisement. With its message of integrity, quality and extraordinary service, it has the power to persuade.

There are several advantages of having a well-developed PR campaign. For starters, when stories are done on your industry, the media will have a spokesperson within your company to contact. This way, your company, and often its executives, will be mentioned prominently in such articles, positioning them as leaders in the field. Most importantly, though, it will convey information to the most important audience of all: your potential customers.

So, what is news? Information that is of potential interest to the people in your community, industry, business or marketplace. People make news. Employee promotions and awards make news. Events make news – business openings, special promotions, anniversary celebrations, participation in or sponsorship of a community event. Innovations are news – a new product or service.

The more customers read, see or hear about your company’s accomplishments, the more they know about you, and the more they want to know about you.

Awareness and a good image are what can set your company apart from your competitors. Your commitment to a sound PR program makes a difference. Contact us today to talk about your PR project, info@concentre.us.
