When I search Google News for "surveys," I get nearly 50,000 results.
Sure, any publicity is good.
A press release telling about "Stevie, the Water-Skiing Squirrel" will never get that talented mammal on the TV news.
You thought of it, you researched it, you wrote it.
Taking your ad and turning it into paragraph-style prose is not a press release – chances are it will only lead the publisher to call and invite you to run it as a paid ad.
Many of my clients have had the misguided perception that they won't be able to get media coverage from a publication that their larger competitors advertise in.
Looking to get your name into a magazine? You need to be thinking ahead--way ahead.
That big story the media pursue each day is what I call Topic A.
Would you advise clients to buy a stock based on the say so of an investor relations person, or something you overheard at a restaurant? Of course not.
Every reporter, from the cub at the small town paper to the high-paid anchor on 60 Minutes, dreams of finding a lead to that news story that everyone will want to read.
Some financial planners think that they shouldn't share their top tips with the media.
The media live by the calendar.
A common complaint you'll hear is that the media is fixated on negative stories.
Be a ResourceThe media people that are likely to want to speak to financial planners are usually working on stories that will help people: help them get out of debt, make smarter investment decisions, or save for retirement.
One big mistake that many marketing-minded financial planners make when contacting the media is to drop what's called an "information dump.
The media need you.
Maybe you’ve seen another financial planner on TV, and thought, “Hey, I’m just as good as she.

In this great country of ours, there are basically three ways to get yourself tons of media coverage.
Commit this to memory, please: To get in the media, being good is good enough.
As a business, non-profit or association manager, occasions will arise when you’ll need to employ tactics like a brochure, a special event or a press release.
Writing a press (or media) release is quite an art (and a science) but don't let that scare you.
Anything that lets managers achieve their managerial objectives is a winner.
A Press Release is a captive story that can be about a person, a business or organizational group that is submitted to the media.
WHITE NOISEA client recently told me about a fascinating new approach to television advertising.
Dear New York Times:I’d like to be quoted in one of your news stories.
When is your best advertisement not an advertisement? When it’s a press release.
As a business, non-profit or association manager, do you see the value in doing something positive about the behaviors of those important external audiences of yours that most affect your operation?Do you see the value in persuading those key outside folks to your way of thinking?Do you see the value in moving them to take actions that allow your department, division or subsidiary to succeed?Then you must see the value in good public relations that alters individual perception leading to changed behaviors among those key outside people.
New business owners often miss out on publicity opportunities because they think it's a nuisance to talk to reporters.
Publicity will take your financial planning practice, your business, and your life to the next level.
