It’s called public relations. Here’s how to get the most out of it.
By Lisa LaMotta
Any entrepreneur can run a snazzy advertising campaign, if he or she is willing to pay for it. The trick is to get that kind of exposure without breaking the bank.
Such is the allure of “public relations”–the discipline of shedding a benevolent light on a person, company or cause, mainly by tapping the news media. The press is a powerful force: Clearly, Amazon.com and Google offer great services, but appearing in some 13,000 news articles around the world in the last 30 days helps get the word out too. And depending on the outlet and nature of the story, PR offers a potentially huge benefit that advertising does not: third-party approval.
Read all about it, or better still, see the summary in pictures!

The release of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, nicely timed with the release of the fifth Harry Potter movie, has been an extraordinary business phenomenon.
Extraordinary because the publishers and booksellers have not done that well. As research out of Emory University in Atlanta suggests, it has exposed weaknesses in the publishing industry but it might also illustrate new trends that are reshaping business. The effect is magic.
Marketing professors and sociologists say it highlights how innovations now spread through word of mouth, instant messaging and web sites. The book sales have also been driven by huge booksellers like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and Waterstones.
Just as importantly, it has a launched a new young adult novel niche written for and about the Millenials, the people born since 1982.
Also, we are starting to see some of the viral marketing techniques used to spread the buzz about Harry Potter being adopted by other businesses. Even politicians. Think of the way John Howard and Kevin Rudd are using the Internet to win voters’ hearts and minds.
Harry Potter could be more than just a huge brand. It might be a taste of the future.
Read on…

Did the viral marketing work for you?
