Setting up in business is very exciting and part of that build-up is good marketing.  PR can be used as an essential part of this. Here’s why-

It can help build your reputation and attract new clients and customers
Your initial and long-term business success can depend on building a good reputation. And the sooner you start, the better. Think of building your business reputation into a see-through wall of top quality glass bricks.

•    You want to build it well so people can see through and understand your company and what it’s doing
•    People will be clear about what you stand for and will choose to use your products and services
•    You will be seen as a robust and long-lasting
•    Everyone prefers to buy from people they know about and trust
•    To help build your reputation, you need to define your business – but not from your own perspective. Think about your clients instead.

PR can help you target your clients or customers
Teenagers, mums or over 50s living in Edinburgh. Who is it you want to encourage to ‘buy’ from you?
Your messages.
PR helps nail down what it is you want to say about your business. Are you one of a kind for instance?
You want to be head and shoulders above the rest, yes?
Your new business has ideas and concepts that need to be seen by your target market, whether they are niche or widespread. Word of mouth endorsement is the best, it’s true. But who are going to be the first few people to purchase from you if they don’t know you exist? Very few people will just ‘find out’ about you without some definite well-targeted promotion on your part. PR can help you do this.

Simply turning round the “WE ARE OPEN” sign on your new front door might not be enough. Your business might be in Edinburgh but you might also want to reach people around Scotland and beyond.
