3. Public relations =
A strategic communication
process that builds mutually
beneficial relationships between
organizations and their publics.
With in- and external
communications you can inform
and influence any audience with
text, adverts, publicity,
promotion or special events.
Public relations is also about
signalizing trends and cases in
the outside world and live by
actions and reactions.
4. PR targets?
The main target is about
maintaining or creating a good
image. PR is not about sales. PR
is based upon image and
reputation research. The main
tools you work with are: to
influence opinion leaders in your
key target audience and to
contact your target audiences by
using their own kinds of media.
5. A good story!
PR is about good stories to
attract people, to engage them,
to gain credibility or to gain trust
and empowerment. A nice and
long lasting way of building
relationships with your clients in
order to sell your products and
services.
6. Be good and let others tell it!
You don’t have to tell how good
your client is, let others tell it. It’s
about ordinary opinions by the
common man. They’re really
priceless and sincere.
The big question remains: who’s
able to convince you in the
fastest, the best and most
efficient way? Do we have to
pitch our voice on emotions, on
our senses, our sensibility or on
our doubtful reasons?
“Discussing
goodness is the best
a man can do…”
