Comments Off on How To Get Your Business Noticed By The Press
by Mompreneur Media
When you’re running a business, you need to get the word out there, so people know you exist. Whether you outsource your PR or do it yourself, you know that building up relationships with the press is crucial. Fostering relationships with the press is one of the very basic principles of PR. But what do you do if you’re new to the game, or haven’t built up those connections yet? Using newswire services has always been a controversial topic in this field of work. If you are just starting out with your marketing and press, then newswires can work for you to help get your news out there. And if you’re lucky, generate at least a little interest, if not more.
So, you’ve written your press release, and it’s ready to go. When you’re thinking about using a distribution service, then you need to give it careful thought. Not all newswires are the same. There’s no one solution that will suit every business; no two endeavors are the same. If you’re a worldwide brand or company looking to deal with high-level media? Then you need to join a premium service that gets straight to the top tier. They’re expensive and get results, but they’re unlikely to be much use if you run a cottage industry. Newswire services that cater to specific niches or areas of interest are a less expensive alternative. They usually reach a considerably lower figure of an audience. But, it doesn’t matter what type you use, you’ll be throwing money away if your press release isn’t up to scratch.

Parents learn a lot when they have kids in school. For Marcia Motuz, the mother of five children, the product design concept for the Kidems Wheelsox Covers started at an elementary school Invention Convention project.

Comments Off on Mompreneur Interview with Marcia Motuz Inventor of Kidems WheelSox Covers
by Mompreneur Media
I am the Inventor of the Kidems Wheelsox Cover. This August I will be married 28 years & have 5 children. I suffered a traumatic brain injury 17 years ago which has taken a great deal of time to recover. Although I have long term effects I have never lost sight of my dream to my product to succeed. I have been able to use strength & experience to get my oldest son’s life back on track after a traumatic brain injury from a car accident sustained while stopped in traffic. Held my youngest daughter through 10 operations plus other health problems due to a congenital birth defect. I knew something was off in my oldest daughter when everyone said she will grow out of it. She was diagnosed with Dyslexia. Supported another daughter through a rare & crippling illness which took 3 years to diagnose, because doctors said it was in her head or she was on drugs, anorexic or faking it. She has P.O.T.S. (Postural Orthostatic Tachycard ia Syndrome) in which there in not a cure or actual medications to control it. I have a son with Autism who is now about 90% Autism free due to me not giving up on him. A therapist told me, he is as good as he will get (Age 6) without much hope now 12 & brilliant.
If you speak to marketers in 2016, they might tell you a story. This story always begins in the nineties, and it’s not exactly what we’d call a page turner. They will start by telling you how the Internet began to spread across the world in this decade. It gained in popularity until it was in almost every home in the western world. But, due to the limitations of technology it wasn’t yet an integral part of our lives. Speeds were too slow and getting online often felt like pulling teeth. Now though we live in 2016 and technology has been playing catch up with people’s expectations for quite some time. We think it’s safe to say the expectancy and the tech are now in tune with one another, and this opened up the avenues of online marketing. There are lots of advantages to online marketing. It’s cheap, easy to organize and extensive. That’s why marketers give this story a name. They call it the death of offline marketing.
But there’s a lot more fiction in this tale than they would have you believe. In fact, offline marketing isn’t dead and in some cases, and it can be more valuable. For instance, if you are running a local service business you might invest in some forms of online marketing. You’ll certainly set up a profile on Google Business. But you should still remember that your customers are local. So, if you want to reach them, it makes sense to advertise locally. Either by posting in the local paper or by writing an ad for the radio. Radio advertising is expensive, but it’s still one of the best ways to reach local consumers. That’s why it’s expensive. Here are a few other forms of offline marketing that still pack a punch.
