Opening Doors with Press Releases

A New Marketing Oultet: Press Releases

Tell the World the New Unique Thing You’re Doing

 

Notable Quotes

“A press release is a moment in time. And if you could send out the same press release six months or two years later, then there was nothing news-worthy about that press release. You’re obviously saying something that’s evergreen and probably not news-worthy.”
– Mickie Kennedy

 

Episode Summary

When it comes to getting our names out there, we’ve talked about several kinds of strategies—from content marketing, to email marketing, to social media marketing. But we’ve never had the chance to talk about—and probably even think about—another effective way to get exposure, which is press releases.

In this episode of Health Coach Academy, we’re talking to the founder of eReleases, Mickie Kennedy, to shed some light on how we health coaches can leverage press releases to get more exposure and more clients.
