Just What Kind of PR Matters to You?

Parties, videos, booklets and column plugs?

Or public relations that does something positive and directly about those important outside audiences of yours whose behaviors most affect your operation?

How happy are you — as a business, non-profit or association manager — when you see your PR folks futzing around with special events, brochures, press releases and TV talk show mentions?

Especially at a time Телевизоры Philips when you probably need to create the kind of key stakeholder behavior change that leads directly to achieving your managerial objectives?

What it comes down to is this: are you simply looking for publicity, or do you want public relations that really CAN change individual perception and lead to equally changed stakeholder behaviors that help you get your PR money’s worth?

If that sounds more like it, here’s the roadmap DVD-плеер Panasonic for you: people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired- action the very people whose behaviors affect the organization the most, the public relations mission is accomplished.

Here’s where that roadmap can go: customers starting to make repeat purchases; membership applications on the rise; fresh proposals for strategic alliances and joint ventures; community leaders beginning to seek you out; welcome bounces in show room visits; prospects starting to do business with you; higher employee retention rates, capital givers or specifying sources beginning to look your way, and even politicians and legislators starting to view you as a Холодильники Днепр key member of the business, non-profit or association communities.

Do you believe your PR team will accept such a blueprint? Will they show commitment to its implementation, starting with key audience perception monitoring?

Setting Up In-House Retail Sales

Now, that you are familiar and likely connected with online music sales sites, such as CD Baby, or combination online/offline retail sites, such as The Orchard, you are probably comfortable in having your music distribution and sales fairly covered.

But, what if you could get even more music sales, and even more profitable income?

I’m speaking of consigning your product to retail stores, but, with one exception…consigning your product nationally, or even internationally.

For all concerned, “consignment” means placing your music in retail stores on a trial basis, then collecting payments when it sells, with the retailer keeping a portion of your sale.

You see, as consignment goes, most musicians who consign their music to retailers, usually limit their consignment territory to only local retailers, or on a regional level at most. Their reasoning is that any larger area will be too difficult to manage.

But, that is simply not so, and they are losing a fantastic amount of money by limiting themselves to their local regions.

So, I am going to show you how you can easily consign your music to retailers and be able to collect payments for sales every thirty days (or so) via a “step-by-step” process.

It is important to note that the consignment process will be most successful if you are already receiving some degree of promotion and publicity results, such as radio airplay, press coverage, video airplay or through your music being played in nightclubs via record pools, of which I have addressed in a previous article.

Otherwise, you may find your ability to move your product from retailers’ shelves almost as difficult as if you did not have product on them. And, if you do not have some degree of promotion or publicity, whether you have hired such a service, or you choose to conduct it yourself, practically, the only way that you will experience sales is purely by retail customers’ accidental discoveries of your music.

So, ready?
