Over the years, I’ve always advised my clients that if you want to get in the news, you have to watch and read the news. I know it sounds a little like “bumper sticker” advice, but it’s really not meant as a sound bite. In fact, we use a practical application of that advice every single morning at our agency.
It’s actually a very simple list of easy steps that anyone can do, and it can get blockbuster results. Read more on a strategy to get on TV →

It’s an absolute must. If you want to sell your book to the masses, you have to get out there and publicize it. You need to be on the radio, in magazines and newspapers, on the TV and the Internet. The more the public hears about you and your message, the more likely it is your book will stand out from the hundreds of thousands of other books published every year. You probably already know all this, but you may not have any idea how to get started. Read more on how to get publicity for your book →

Here’s the situation. You have a great product or service and YOU know it. But just like the “better mousetrap,” it doesn’t mean a thing unless your market knows it too. TV and radio are great avenues for promoting to the masses. They are dynamic media allowing consumers to visualize and hear you enlighten them (the way only you can) to the great value of your offering. Read more on how to market your book on radio & TV →

“Shortly after a radio interview arranged by EMSI, my ranking at Amazon greatly improved. Seeing the needle move so quickly is direct evidence that this is the most affordable and effective way to promote your book. Thanks EMSI for delivering such great results in such a short time”

Darlene Quinn came to EMSI with a unique challenge – use PR to promote a novel. While non-fiction books are a perfect match for the media because their authors provide valuable information about their areas of expertise, there are very few quality media outlets for fiction authors.
Keep in mind, there are over 400,000 new books published each year, and every one of those authors is clamoring to get air time and ink to push their books, as well. Read more on Darlene Quinn, author of Webs of Power →

“EMSI represented me during the publication of my football-related novel. They were able to place me on ‘drive-time’ radio sports talk shows in just about every city with a National Football league franchise. As a result the book has sold well. I would recommend EMSI to anyone seeking to promote any sort of product. The fees are fair, and the results are more likely to be rewarding.”

“As a result of the publicity you put together for us, we’ve not only increased our direct sales, but our stores are calling to restock their shelves and we’ve obtained more distributors! In the past we’ve tried all kinds of marketing, advertising and public relations schemes, but this has been by far more productive. Hiring EMSI is clearly the best thing our company ever did.”

“The most important thing to me when dealing with a publicist is their ability to talk to me about a guest without giving me the hard sell. Speaking with EMSI is always a pleasant experience. I find myself always returning their calls as they are fun people to talk to and work with. Great people, great guests.”

“After being in the field of television production for nine years, I had literally stopped taking calls from any publicists or PR firms. I became tired of dealing with pushy and demanding attitudes and tactics. Then I encountered EMSI, professionals who are a producer’s dream. Their clients are always exactly what they say they are, always prepared, interesting, on time, and always have something unusual or cutting-edge to offer my program. The management team is exemplary in their attitude and courtesy.”

“EMSI has always been a pleasure to deal with. They’re very attentive towards my show needs and their follow-up is superb. EMSI only calls when the subject matter is proper for the theme of my show. Very professional and understanding at all times.”
