holiday media stories

Will your holiday sales be a jolly Ho Ho Ho or a lackluster ho hum? We are talking with journalists about their holiday stories. If you want to be included in our conversations, please let us know as quickly as possible! Media coverage is a marketing gift that keeps giving. Stories can stay online for years. They can help shoppers find you during this year’s holiday season and for many seasons to come. 

Will your competition get your share of holiday profits? 

More than half of Americans’ holiday purchases happen online. Last year’s online holiday sales were up 16.5% year over year, to a jaw-dropping $126 billion. It’s estimated that 50% of those sales were associated with marketing tactics. 

Some people are already compiling their online wish lists. So, the question is: Are you going to let your competitors pocket your share of this spending spree? Or, would you prefer to win some of their customers instead? 

PR is the best use of your holiday marketing budget  

Media coverage gives your product or service the third-party credibility that can translate into higher sales. We deliver TV, newspaper, radio and online media placements that give our clients bragging rights. They repost them on their websites; they send them to customers, prospects and investors; and they use them to motivate and congratulate their employees. 

With our performance-based Pay Per Interview ® pricing model, you pay only for results. You don’t pay us to try. You are guaranteed to get media coverage for your money.  

There’s a Christmas PR opportunity for just about every product or service 

Reporters want fresh approaches to holiday stories. While you may not see an obvious seasonal connection, Media Relations Agency’s marketing experts can wrap your messaging into angles that earn the holiday media coverage you deserve. From such ideas as “How to green up your holiday traditions” to “New year/new view: Makeover ideas for your home”, we have 30+ years of experience getting our clients included in the media’s seasonal conversations.  

Get your share of high-quality seasonal media coverage
