In this blog, we are going to talk you through why choosing an agency that is local to you can make all the difference to your overall marketing and PR, and how we at Construction PR, can help your business.
PR is advertising without the hard-sell!
Firstly, let’s start with what PR actually is. Many people see PR as a form of advertising, and it some ways, it is, but it’s a softer sell. This means you can still get people to buy your products or use your services, without them feeling like they are being sold to. It’s a way of bridging the gap between you and your target audience in a less corporate way. This way, your customers get to see a more human side to your company.
Seizing local press opportunities
With PR, it is all about getting your name out there. It is also about increasing your brand awareness. One of the ways this is done, is by getting your business featured within publications and the media. This can be online, in print, or even on radio, tv and podcasts. If you are based in Essex, a construction PR agency in Essex can be beneficial to help you fine tune your PR features to only local areas.
Utilising local contacts
In order to be successful with doing the above, you will need to be in contact with journalists and other important people within your industry. Whilst you may know many people, you might not know the right people. Here at Construction PR, we do! Our PR team have an established list of contacts from multiple publications that they can get in touch with when they are pitching articles. This will help you to get into the right publications for your target audience. Our contacts range from local, national, and international, so even if you want to start local to begin with and branch out later on, we can help you.
Understand the local target audience
No one knows the local area like local people. You may already have a name for yourself within your area or at least have a rough idea of who your target audience are. A construction PR agency in Essex will be able to take you to the next level and propel you forward in Essex and your localised area within the county. Agencies like Construction PR can help to pin point that target audience and put you on platforms in front of them. We also know Essex like the back of our hands; we know the publications, the people, the events and more. With our knowledge on PR and your knowledge of the construction industry, we will be able to generate leads and opportunities.
Do you have a niche?
A lot of construction companies can forget about their niches. There are many different areas of construction, and those areas have smaller ones within. If your business has a niche, it is worthwhile to shout about it. Many people within Essex may be searching for your niche and not finding you because you’re not promoting it correctly. Make sure that when it comes to PR, you have at least some of your strategy focused on whatever niche you specialise in. For example, you may be an architectural company that specialises in schools and hospitals. In this case, our PR team at Construction PR can help you to get this angle across in any press opportunities.
