You are operating a business and so you know that marketing is a key element in its future success.

You are also almost certainly using some form of public relations in this process.
Unlike advertising, however,
you may not have a conscious plan of action or strategy in this area and it is here that our business may be able to help yours.

Public relations is as it sounds - effectively relating to a public, which in business means customers and those who influence customers.

It ranges across a number of areas of activity, including the generation of newspaper and magazine articles about your company, the writing of descriptive material on the organisation and its products, identifying and arranging publicity opportunities and providing strategic advice on how best to position you in the marketplace.

Most importantly, public relations is a very cost effective method of getting your message across.

Most public relations activities do not involve large budgets and,
for example, achieving several columns of editorial in a major newspaper is generally much cheaper than buying the same
space in the form of an advertisement. Furthermore, an article
carries more credibility because you are not perceived by the
public as having paid for that coverage.
