During the first week of each month, Tin Shingle's Training Webinar TuneUp focuses on what you should be pitching the press this month, as well as effective strategies for your social media feeds. This TuneUp serves as a huge reminder that there are two major PR strategies going on: "Long Lead" and "Short Lead". Long Lead refers to National Magazines. Editors and writers for national print magazines work 3-6 months ahead of time. So you need to pitch them ideas right now that actually are themes 3-6 months from now. Use Tin Shingle's Editorial Calendars to help you get ideas (a Tin Shingle Membership is required to view Editorial Calendars). Short Lead refers to Blogs, TV, Radio and Weekly Magazines. Pitching writers at those media outlets is more current to what is going on right now, or a few weeks from now. We'll also talk about bigger picture strategies that you can apply to your campaign this month to keep your buzz and your business growing.
- Long Lead PR Ideas: What national magazines are working on in June (Hint: editors have their winter scarves on because Holiday Gift Guide making has started!)
- Short Lead PR Ideas: What blogs, TV, radio and weekly magazines are working on in May
- Seasonal publicity advice and strategies for product makers, service providers and experts.
Anyone can watch a Tin Shingle TuneUp from their computer, mobile phone or tablet. The process is different for Premium Members and the public.
