Advertising and Publicity
Using Advertising and Publicity are very effective methods to promote and create positive awareness for you and your business. But... there is a clear difference between Advertising and Publicity. Advertising is something you get by paying for it. Publicity however, is something you hope you'll get. Why? Because publicity can be generally gained at no cost to you. And... It generally has many times the credibility of advertising.
So... advertising is content you pay for (radio, TV, newspaper, banner advertising, etc). Publicity on the other hand, refers to free content about you and your company that appears in the media. It's what others what others say about you. Publicity can result when an article you write is published, or when information you give to an editor convinces him/her to feature a story about you or is based on a publicity release issued by a Public Relations firm you have retained. Over time, these stories help create a favorable impression of your product or services.
Repetition is your key to success. You have to advertise whether you want to or not. If you don't speak for yourself and your business, others will do it for you. Are you willing to settle for what they have to say about you? Your customers and clients don't know what you can do for them unless you tell them and keep on telling them. Everyday a new set of customers arrives on the scene. New people move to the area, children become adults, and people make career changes. Many folks develop new interests and hobbies, change lifestyles, and develop new and different wants and needs. If you don't advertise, how are they going to know they need what you have to offer?
