Thoughts … On why you should care about getting publicity: It separates you from your competition. It raises your perceived level of competence, cache and desirability. People are willing to pay you more money – the perception is that you’re worth it, and you go from being a commodity to being an expert. It separates you from your competition. Calls or orders will start coming in from everywhere, not just your market. It creates more word of mouth, more buzz. It helps you get past gatekeepers – all of a sudden, you’re famous! It multiplies – before you know it, you’re being requested to speak, comment and serve as a credible authority. It increases the impact of your advertising, which may soon read: “As seen on Good Morning, America.”
