I’ve been investigating my options and have had an initial call with the wedding PR experts at Be Inspired PR in Manhattan Beach, CA and NYC. In that conversation we talked about the ratio of glamorous placements (TV, magazines) vs. the percentage of leg-work on my end maintaining a blog, tweeting, keeping up with FB, and building peer, client, and vendor relationships. It’s about 10/90, and I think though we wish it were more glamorous, it’s realistic. I really appreciate that kind of honesty. It’s too easy to ride off the rails when you’re surrounded by Yes Men, right?

The most effective free PR I’ve applied so far is kindness. Kindness to clients, vendors, peers — even the competitors. Great things come of kind gestures, so I respond quickly and reach out as often as I can. Thanks, Preston!

I can’t stress how important it is to follow through on your promises to your clients as well as being responsive to phone calls, emails, and appointments.
