Books: America’s New Business Card?
Posted by Marsha Friedman on July 24, 2009 · 6 Comments
Few people I talk to consider themselves authors; fewer still ever picture themselves writing a book. Well, if you’re still undecided about whether a book can propel you to expert status in your field, consider a scene of two people who walk into your office each seeking your business. Each has impeccable credentials, is wearing a tailored suit, and has an impressive resume that sparkles with confidence and great talent. Read more

Portable Expertise: How Books Allow You to Go Everywhere They Can
Posted by Marsha Friedman on July 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment
If you’ve decided to become an expert in your field, in any field, allow me to show you how much faster that process can be – and how much further you can reach – through the publication of a well-written, carefully-planned, readable and entertaining book.
Books provide what I call “portable expertise.”
Low-Tech, High-Impact
Anywhere a book can go, you can go. Yes, there are more high-tech ways to reach your audience, but when someone’s wi-fi isn’t working, your book still is. When someone’s at 30,000-feet and can’t use their laptop yet, he or she can still open your book. Read more

How to Hire a PR Firm
Posted by Marsha Friedman on July 17, 2009 · 2 Comments
As a PR professional, I’ve never liked the way movies portray public relations people.
Usually, they’re characterized by Hollywood as slick-talking flim-flam artists who promise the universe and deliver next to nothing.
And there’s a reason why Hollywood zeroes in on that rendering of PR pros – because our profession does have its share of people who are just like that. I wish it weren’t true, because the vast majority of PR professionals have integrity and work hard to earn their clients’ trust. But the bad apples do exist, and every time I hear real life stories about those kinds of PR people, it infuriates me. Read more

If You Want to Succeed…Start Locally!
Posted by Marsha Friedman on July 9, 2009 · 3 Comments
Getting your company noticed in this tough economic climate has become harder than ever before for many companies. With mounting competition and shrinking budgets, the question arises: how do I let consumers know that my company exists, on both a national and a local level?!
While national media exposure is ideal, there is great power in local media exposure as well. By focusing on your hometown media outlets you will be able to build a solid base of fame and recognition from which to grow on. Creating as much “buzz” as you can locally will compliment your national campaign to no end and it also gives you invaluable media experience when the national media starts to knock on your door.

If You’re Not Focusing on Women Buyers…Then You’re Probably Overlooking Your Largest Market!
Posted by Marsha Friedman on June 10, 2009 · 3 Comments
Why? Because they are America’s biggest consumers. According to Martha Barletta, author of Marketing to Women:
Women influence 95% of all purchases and control 80% of all household spending.
She specifically points out their spending habits in these categories:
- Domestic Products
“Buying the ‘small stuff’ has always been in the woman’s domain. Part of her domestic duties as wife and mother has been to keep the family healthy, warm, and well nourished. From the family meal to the family doctor, from shirts for her husband to shoes for her kids, chances are those choices have always been hers. Read more

Why Small Radio Stations Can Be Great Places to Promote Your Book, Product or Service
Posted by Marsha Friedman on April 23, 2009 · 9 Comments
Not many will disagree with the fact that talk radio is a fabulous promotion tool. What author wouldn’t treasure the opportunity to speak directly to consumers who may be interested in purchasing their book, product or service? Sounds great, right?
The face of radio has changed quite a bit over the past decade here are just a few of the changes. The hosts of major-market radio shows, which had extremely attractive audiences, used to bring guests in the studio for long chats. Not three or four minutes, but how about half an hour or longer! This was a time when a guest could knock off a couple radio interviews and send sales soaring. What has changed? First, there are not as many big stations that accept guests – many have changed to a music format or don’t accept guests that have a product or service to sell. Another change is that the amount of guest air-time has been greatly reduced. Radio talk shows nowadays find that listeners are more likely to stay tuned if they have three 10-minute guests per show rather than one guest featured for 30 minutes. Read more
