In the last number of years, we have experienced a drastic shift from more traditional marketing methods to an integrated marketing approach. Marketing is more personal, personalized, authentic and custom than ever before. An essential aspect of the new form of marketing is Public Relations. PR-based marketing enables businesses to reinforce their advertising and other marketing efforts effectively and authentically. PR is a potent management tool that companies can use to reach business goals and build public perception. So why not kick-up your PR positioning up a notch this year?

Here are a few ways that Public Relations can help transform your business in 2021.

Boost Brand Credibility

A well-executed PR plan can amass a lot of good publicity. Positive publicity is the perfect way to build credibility. Studies have shown that PR increases both visibility and credibility among the market and competitors. In fact, it is estimated that PR can be a lot more useful and well-perceived than advertising.

Reach Your Target Audience

Public Relations strategies give you a powerful way to reach and retain your target market. A well-written article or a great piece of content about your service or product in a popular magazine or important channel can bring a lot of interest. Not only will this boost your customer base initially, but it will have a word of mouth effect that continues to bring in people.

A Great Unique Selling Point (USP) 

PR has the potential to add a unique selling point to a product or service. This is because you can set yourself apart from the competition by showcasing yourself as one of the best in the field or industry. In addition to that, PR can also add additional value through increasing brand visibility, raising your profile, building strong relationships, simplifying the sales process, and adding value to clients through third-party validation.

Lead Generation – Short and Long Term

Proper media placements through PR are an excellent investment for both the long and short term. Initial exposure will bring in many leads, and as time passes by, awareness from your media spot will continue to trickle in. PR is a powerful lead generating tool that can continue to pay dividends as long as media sources are relevant.

Helps in Establishing a Powerful Brand Image

PR is not all about promoting a product or service. PR is an incredible tool for establishing a powerful brand image that will attract consumers and potential leads to interact with your business when done correctly. Brand image is something that cannot be bought or created overnight. It is something that takes time, dedication, and commitment to achieve. PR is a strong tool in doing this successfully.
