What you may not know is this. There’s more to business news that meets the eye.
1. Business news items are part of a marketing plan.
Each time your business is mentioned it:
• Puts your name in front of prospective clients.
• Reminds past and current clients of who you are.
• Reinforces your brand in their minds.
2. Local business news promotes your business.
• It provide the same tactics mentioned above.
• It gets people to talking about your business.
Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool.
• It is absolutely free. That’s right. Free.

That does not mean it comes without work.
If you do it yourself, you must know what to do.
You must know how to do it.
You must regularly take time to do it.
You may contract it out to a professional.
Some small businesses see that as an expense.
It is although it’s more than that.
• It’s a small investment to get it done right.
Professionals have the contacts and expertise.
They can get your news into the right media.
• It’s a legitimate business tax deduction.
Just like advertising, you can write it off.

I recommend business owners hire a pro.
It lets them do what they do best.
That frees you to run your business as they do it.
