Spin Your Dwindling Advertising Budget Into a PR Dynamo

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 05:27:57 -0500

"If I was down to my last dollar, I'd spend it on public relations."-- Bill GatesAs unlikely as it is that Bill Gates would ever be down to his last million dollars, let alone a single George Washington, the fact remains that it's a powerful endorsement of the power of PR.Still, when the economy is tight and corporations yank hard to get their belts down to that last notch, PR is usually one of the first few items on the budget that's frozen or cut completely. To bean counters, it's an easy choice. Because it's impossible to track the impact of PR in strict accounting terms they consider it difficult to quantify PR expenditures. To the numbers guys, if something fails to leave a footprint on the spreadsheet, it is expendable.However, the usual result of a cut in PR is an "inexplicable" drop in sales and sales leads which can make a company practically invisible to consumers and business-to-business customers alike. Add to that the fact that the print and broadcast coverage almo...

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 04:48:16 -0500

"How much do you know about paper stock? Until recently, I personally didn't know much at all. It didn't seem particularly important for me to know. Now that I have a better understanding of advertising and marketing I can also see why knowing about paper stock can be such an important detail. Unless you're designing your advertising all by yourself odds are you'll at some point work with a designer. An important detail when it comes to the look of advertisements, and something your designer might not mention, is that colors can look considerably different depending on the type of paper stock you're using. Let's say you're using brochure printing to send out what's intended to be a simple, black and white brochure. The problem comes when you don't specify what type of paper needs to be used and you accidentally have it ...
