While many people would not welcome a media presence in their life, it can truly help a business. However, most of the time the media will simply not visit you and help your business to grow. With that in mind, it is up to us to give the media a reason to meet with us. Below we are going to discuss a few things you can do to help create a buzz about your business that will call the media into your business.
Community Action
One of the best things you can do to help bring media attention directly to your store is to get involved directly with your community. However, in order to do this you need to find something that is wrong in your community and find a way to fix it. In some cases, this is not something that needs to be really serious. So take the time to look around your community and see what could be fixed. It may be something as simple as a junked up vacant yard. Call up your town and find out if your business could help out by cleaning up. Once you are approved, be sure to invite the media to cover the event. Likewise, you could take some time to beautiful the community by planting trees and flowers in an area. There are an endless array of things that can be done to help get you involved in helping your community out.
Volunteer
One of the greatest ways to get media attention is to volunteer for some a local organization. Not only will you get the attention you desire to help your business, but you more than likely will feel better about yourself and life at the end of the day! There are many local organizations that could use help. Look into a local homeless shelter, hospital, or even the humane society. Find something that would align well with your business for the best impact. In addition, choose something that is going to be meaningful to you. Keep in mind, you do not always have to volunteer with your time, you can help financially as well. Talk to the director of the organization and find out how you can help best.
Go Viral
This last one is going to be a tad harder as you are going to have to get a little more creative. In addition, you are going to need an online community to latch onto your project. However, this is a great way to not only get local attention but national as well. You need to create a video that is going to have a unique hook to it. Something that is simply not expected. Think about videos you have watched online that surprised you, this is the direction you will need to take. This can be difficult to do on your own, which is why you may want to hire a creative agency. However, when a video goes viral, it works and will bring all types of media to your doorstep!
