Does anyone else just love paper? The feel? The smell? The colors? I know...I get it. We need to be moving with the times. The time of digital everything, smart gadgets, and microchips. I do appreciate the capabilities of the digital world but, I still love, even prefer paper. If I could write all of you this blog post on cute, navy and gold stationery, and put it in your mailbox with a darling floral forever stamp, I would! Anyway, I digress...but this is why I am always excited when print magazines stay, well, in print. 

Hey y'all. Tin Shingle is not going to let the week end without giving you some new, fresh, PR leads! We have added at least a dozen new magazines to our Editorial Calendar Section for members only. If you are not using these guys you are missing out a huge tool to help get your brand into the press. Each calendar gives you insight into which direction every issue is heading.

Fitness boot camps used to scare me. Whistles, sweat, and intense moves...yikes! All I thought about was, "Would I be able to walk the next day!?" But, who are we all kidding, boot camps are EFFECTIVE. And they really don't hurt so much after all! What about for your business? Yes, its true, NAWBO NYC's Small Business Bootcamp will be just as effective to empower your business' success and growth. All are invited, from small business owners to consultants, to attend the all day conference in New York City on Friday February 24th.

Hey there! Don't let a mid week slump start early...Do you need some more inspiration? Check out what stories these magazines are planning for 2017. Tin Shingle connected directly with each magazine to provide members only with this tool for success. Editorial calendars will provide the overall theme or direction each issue is heading, helping you to plan a golden pitch, which could just get you in the glossy print issue!  Here are some ideas that popped out:  Better Nutrition is featuring a column, 7 Ways to Handle Stress & Anxiety.

Happy February everyone! I know its only the second day of the month, and yes Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, but here at Tin Shingle we are already talking about Father's Day. Gift guides are a hot commodity and definitely can give your brainstorming some sparkle. However, editors at the glossy magazines you love  are gathering materials now.  For it's members, Tin Shingle has collected some Father's Day features in our Editorial Opportunity Database to give you some inspiration and direction to land press in your target magazine.  Here is a sneak peak:

Finally!! They are pouring in-just in time to help keep your new goals and plans in sight. After weeks of communication with specific outlets, and patient research, Editorial Calendars are being uploaded for members only on Tin Shingle. Stay tuned each week as more are being added as we get them. Over 900 opportunities are already available-including some Mother’s Day stories. Move fast though, deadlines close in soon on these. SELF might have discontinued their print but, we have what stories they will cover in their digital edition.
