Boost your reputation and your profits from free advertising with press releases
Why it works When the media promotes your business for you, and it's not a paid ad - it's them recommending your business, it does wonders for your credibility and reputation. Because people still believe what they read in the newspaper, hear on the radio, and see on TV. Amazing, but true - people still believe.
People have a psychological perception that if they read something in the paper or hear something on the radio that is not a paid advertisement, then it must be true. I think it comes from the fact that if somebody says or does something in public, then the fact that they are doing it under the scrutiny of so many people means they must be coming from a place of truth, otherwise too many people would find out they were false and send them packing. So in any case, people believe or are at least positively influenced by stuff you get the media to say for you.
Trust People trust the media, deep down. On the surface everyone thinks they are crap. Underneath, on a deeper level, we expect them to expose the truth - to find out who is doing wrong and blast it out to the world. So if they write something great about you, it must be true, otherwise they would be exposing you as a hoax or something. This is the general psychology of most people who read, hear or watch the media. That is why the media can do wonders for your business promotions!
