1. Share everything on Social Media, become Social Media Savvy:
Eat. Sleep. Engage. Repeat. Approximately 45% of your target customers are present on at least one of the social media platforms and posting valuable and relevant content about your product/service on these platforms will get the attention of your target audience that you are looking for. This may seem like a component of social media marketing but the lines are blurring, aren’t they? You should promote/boost your social media post to engage and gain the attention of users and companies who may not have already been paying attention. Don’t just post links; let people know your new story is up.

2. Use PR information and promote/boost it to attract audience:
Don’t lose any opportunity to let your social media followers know that your story is up and live. Take time to interact and share the same message in front of people multiple times. Only 2 percent of people make a purchase with one exposure, so if you aren’t repeating yourself, you’re losing.

3. Add PR article in Sales Kit:
When you are reaching out to a prospective stakeholder, add your PR article in the Sales kit. It is an effective marketing strategy as customers like seeing the type of content to get a better sense of your message and value. This will engage them, and as we said, the more ways you can get your message in front of people, the better.

4. Link Relevant Sources in Blog:
Content Creators are looking to establish subject-matter expertise through various channels/platforms. One should ensure that relevant links are shared for the readers as it establishes that you have industry knowledge, niche expertise in the field and helps create genuity. This also helps with your website’s domain authority and back-linking, which will help attract more viewers.

5. Publish Newsworthy Content around your product/service:
Don’t waste time contemplating if the information is newsworthy or not just spread the word, my friend. It’s your job to share what’s happening whether it is about you achieving a milestone, personal story or just a market trend that validates your product’s value;sharing the information is very crucial. You don’t have to establish the newsworthy context, it will work and it is the best hack for leveraging PR.
