We get a lot of feedback from entrepreneurs who used the PR Toolkit For Small Business to generate all kinds of story ideas for their publicity efforts. One of the areas of feedback we receive addresses where to get press coverage. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking your only PR opportunities are either in the local newspaper, television news station, radio station or online. While this short list serves as a good foundation for where to look, there are countless more ways to get small business public relations. For additional insight download the PR Toolkit for Small Business.

By gathering the responses from polls, surveys, interviews, emails, trade shows and meetings with leaders of advocacy groups it becomes evident what the needs are facing small businesses every year. These research activities assist to clarify future policy initiatives and to focus current advocacy efforts for the best interest of the small business sector.
