So, did Dancing Deer, Harley Davidson and Martha Stewart.
They all harnessed the power of the press to make it big. And, now you can too. But, not like in the olden days.
Back in “the day,” we PR folks had lists of editors, reporters and publishers from magazines, radio and television stations who were the gatekeepers for what got published. And they decided on what got trashed.
Today, it’s a whole new game.
With the use of technology, WebPR is simply the most effective way to get press coverage, get your customer’s attention, build credibility, and the most important thing: get your customer to respond right back to you with a request, an inquiry or even an order. Because he heard about you through WebPR.
It’s incredible what it can do for your business.
