Marketing tips from George Washington

George Washington

George Washington

In honor of George Washington’s birthday, here are marketing tips from the father of our country.

1.    Always tell the truth. Nothing hurts your credibility with reporters or prospects or customers more than shading the truth. Look at Tiger Woods and Toyota. ‘Nuff said.
2.    Eat the cherries, but don’t chop down the cherry tree. In other words, enjoy the fruits of your labors and always keep your main business well tuned for these tough times. If that means you need to get coaching and consulting help in marketing, PR and business growth, call me and I’ll explain how we can work together.
3.    Watch out for splinters. Those wooden teeth have got to hurt.

PR LEADS negotiates discount on PR WEB press release distribution services

If you’ve been thinking about sending out a press release via the terrific PR WEB service, you’re in luck!

We’ve negotiated a great deal for our PR LEADers and their friends as well as PR firms, Solo PR firms, non-profits and even corporations that want to save money!

PR WEB offers their MEDIA Visibility release for $360, but we’ve reduced the price to $250, so  you can save $110 if you order

from PR LEADS.  This is a great way to get your message out to the press, bloggers and search engines for a low, low price!

Your release will be sent to the top newspapers, including the Associated Press and USA TODAY. In fact, a release I wrote about myself appeared in USA TODAY!  See it here: http://ow.ly/Iz94

Interested? Here’s the small print:

1. The press release must be sent between December 1, 2009 and January 31, 2010. The offer is not valid at any other time.

2. We can send one press release per day, so you must select your distribution day — and stick to it. Once you buy it, you are locked in. If you fail to send us the release, you lose your fee.

3. We accept payment via PayPal only for this promotion. Send $250 to dan@prleads.com via PayPal. We’ll confirm receipt.

4. Send you press release to us (dan@prleads.com) with any keywords or target audiences you want to reach. We will post the release with PR WEB.

5. We will NOT edit your release. Any mistakes are your responsibility.  I strongly recommend that you run your press release through www.PressReleaseGrader.com a free service that will spot obvious errors and provide pointers as well. I use it for my releases. I’m not proud.

6. If you want our advice or consulting services, or need help to write the press release, email dan@prleads.com and we’ll send you details.

7. We will not accept any press release that is nasty and we take a very tight definition of nasty. We reserve the right to reject any press release for any reason. Democrats and Republicans are fine. Hate groups and porn will be rejected.

8. All press releases will contain your contact information, not ours, so you get direct connections with the media.

 

Questions? Email dan@prleads.com and include your website and your questions.

 

Let’s get your message read!
