Use your hometown media opportunities to gain national impact

hometown media opportunities

Every business has a rich story to tell. Media publicity goes a long way in giving your company credibility. But most people overlook the best way to build more national recognition: taking advantage of hometown media opportunities. Our team feels so strongly about this valuable strategy that we recommend it to most of our clients. That’s why we worked so hard to arrange this coverage in Minnesota’s Star Tribune for our Minneapolis-based client JMC Retail Group.

The feature article explains how our client works tirelessly behind the scenes, travelling across the world to watch for emerging design trends and advise mass-market retailers on how to bring those best-of-the-best looks to customers. Our client was thrilled with how the article portrayed her company’s expertise.

Having this kind of ink is important in gaining product momentum and exposure. Most people think of cutting-edge design trends as emanating from east- or west-coast companies. However, this feature article notes how JMC Retail Group, which does business with companies such as Minnesota-based retail giant Target, is influencing national trends from its Midwest headquarters. This hometown publicity positions JMC Retail Group as a credible and successful international resource.

This feature article’s extensive reach in print and by social media means it creates awareness beyond the local market. Having your hometown newspaper champion your company and your product builds momentum that can shoot you ahead of your competition.
