That's right...don't let them get cold on you and miss your opportunity of scoring some pretty cool press. If you are not using Tin Shingle's Editorial Calendar Database, for members only, you really need to be. Or, you might be saying, "Meh, I checked them last week, I'll skip it this time." Bad move.
Editorial calendars, along with Tin Shingle's Media Contact Database, provide you with the general direction each magazine has plotted for the month, so that you have an idea of what direction a magazine is headed in, and you have a chance of submitting an idea in a timely manner. Thus, helping you get your business' product/profile/service/tips in to the printed publication. Believe us, editors are busy. They have lots of work and deadlines flying from their desks, as well as large amounts of people asking for media coverage.
Don't forget, you don't always have to pitch only your product. This entrepreneur, Making Care Easier (a service based care giving company), got press in a technology article on CNET. Not because it fit their business profile, but because they were determined to think outside the box. Founder of Making Care Easier, Julie Fry, provided her expertise in the email pitch, keeping her tips general and applicable, giving her business exposure at the same time. Can you do the same?
If you still feel like your not getting press, don't give up! Peek through these new opportunities, gather some ideas, and follow these tips to help boost your success.
