Start-ups are the name of the game today! Even 20-somethings are no longer in search of their perfect job, they are keen to turn entrepreneurs. They have brilliant ideas but transforming these ideas into big businesses needs good PR.
With the financial landscape of India changing and people being more open to innovation and new brands, this is the right time for start-ups to take the plunge. PR not only generates publicity for the brand but also push sales and attracts new employees and investors.
Whenever a new business is started, there’s always a burst of enthusiasm and a rush to get the brand publicised. Brand awareness is important but it’s important to use every penny wisely. Did you know that a good PR campaign can get a brand up to ten times more publicity than an ad campaign with a fraction of the spend? It’s true.
PR is a great way to get the word out about the brand. A well-crafted PR campaign can be very effective in getting the message across and reaching a wide cross-section of the target. PR can also be evoked to create a buzz about the brand and make it a talking point.
Advertising is about directly promoting your brand whereas PR is a subtle way to persuade. It creates a channel of communication, instead of merely aggressively pushing the product. It gives the buyers, the target, and relevant information and facilitates the buying decision. It’s also about creating a sustained flow of information that may directly or indirectly impact a brand. For instance, for a beauty cream, a PR campaign on the benefits of night creams where the brand is mentioned will help. If the product is a bore well pump, building a human interest story about how the brand has donated a pump to a remote village and how the life of the villagers has changed post that will work. Such information creates interest in the brand. Where advertising lacks credibility, PR makes up by being a third party endorsement of a brand.
A good PR campaign generates a positive brand image. It helps investors see the potential of the brand and encourage investment. A well-targeted PR campaign can have a great reach amongst them.
