PR has unique advantages as a promotional strategy. When your company is featured in a media story, you have the opportunity to show your business’ human side. You can explain how your business helps your community. You can make an emotional connection with your audience. And you can deliver this message to tens or even hundreds of thousands of people. This Chicago television news segment I arranged for Great Clips made 235,000 impressions. It demonstrates why you need to include PR in your marketing strategy.
In this news segment, a Great Clips stylist explained that participating Great Clips salons in the Chicago area would provide free haircuts for children and students on Christmas Eve. She mentioned that this program began during an economic downturn. She said she enjoys being part of Great Clips because it feels like family. The segment also showed a happy child about to receive a haircut in studio.
