You don't need a PR firm. You need to know what a reporter actually wants.
Most small businesses never get covered, and it isn't because their story is boring. It's because nobody told them how the process works: who to call, what to send, when to send it, and what makes a newsroom say yes.
Grow Your Business With Media Relations is a working guide built from a career of doing this. It covers what actually produces coverage:
- Getting the story right. What the media will and won't cover, why a discount is not a story, and the one test to apply before you send anything.
- The documents. Press releases and media advisories, with complete filled-in samples you can hold your own draft against, plus the email habits that keep you out of the deleted folder.
- Finding your outlets. Building a media list, learning who covers what, and why the community weekly may matter more to you than the metro daily.
- The pitch. Subject lines, timing, hooks, and the difference between a story you find and a story you build.
- The interview. Preparation, three key messages, bridging away from a hard question, and how to get an employee ready to speak for you.
- When it goes wrong. Crisis planning, corrections, accusations that start on community pages, and what to say when the fault is yours.
- Measuring it. Monitoring, tracking, and how to tell whether the coverage did anything for the business.
The stories are why it works. A press release sent to every outlet in town with the wrong address on it. An employee who gave a stranger his shoes on a hot sidewalk, and the pitch that almost didn't get sent. A reporter calling about an explosion that turned out to be a broken bottle. A customer's guitar, a denied claim, and a lesson about defending a process you can't defend out loud.
The Publicity Toolkit is bound in the back of this book, a printable set of worksheets, templates, and checklists drawn from these chapters. There's also a one-page instruction sheet you can paste into whichever AI tool you use, so it prepares you the way this book does instead of writing hype for you.
Written for the small business owner, the nonprofit director, the public-facing manager, and anyone who is their own communications department.
