Here are six simple steps for developing a news release program that extends your reach and generates inquiries at a fraction of the cost of advertising.

1) DETERMINE YOUR AUDIENCE AND MESSAGE. If you have a marketing or communications plan in place, you already have audiences and messages defined. No need to reinvent for your news release program Cheap Steelers Hoodie , although you may need to select audiences and messages that are most appropriate.

2) BUILD A LIST. Once you know your audience, you'll need a list of publications they're likely to read. A great place to go to create a list is ? a service of Bacon's. It's reasonably priced and fast. The downside is the lists come with no updates. You may need to re-purchase your list several times during a year.

In most cases a 3" x 5" glossy B&W print and a color slide will work. Be sure to send good quality visuals since the quality will reflect on you.

6) MEASURE RESULTS AND LEARN. It takes about three months before your releases will show up in monthly publications. Less time for pubs that come out more often.
