Some Questions To Consider

When you talk or meet with public relations companies, here are a few questions that you may wish to consider:

• How well do you know our products/services?
• What other companies like ours have you worked with?
• What journalists do you know of in our industry that you can talk with?
• How long has your agency been established?

All PR companies in the UK are different.  Some have been running for decades, some have only just started trading.  Would you want to be the first client of a new agency, or work with a well established PR company in Cannock?

All PR companies will put together a press release for you and submit it via an online press release company such as PR Fire or PR Newswire.

What you want however is for the PR company to talk to flesh and blood journalists.  To pick up the phone and say ‘Hi John, Bill here from Shoot For The Stars PR.  I have a red hot press release you will kill for’!  The agency should talk to journalists and get you into your industry publications or better still, the national press.
