PR SERVICES with ABBOTT & KLEIN:

The Basics

$80.00 per press release

This is for business owners that already know what they want, they just need someone to write up a press release. This doesn’t include submission of the press release to the media.

Best Value

$2500 /month

A typical PR agency charges between $5,000 – $10,000 a month but rarely gives you personalized service. I know, I hired the largest PR firm in L.A. and spent a fortune for 3 months and only got one mention in an international magazine. My firm, Abbott & Klein is a small boutique PR agency that has represented celebrities, Fortune 500 companies, along with small business owners and inventors. We don’t have the big overhead the larger companies have and will treat your company and products like they were our own. Therefore, unlike the big guys, we don’t take on everyone. If we feel we can’t do an incredible job for you or the business is out of our line of expertise, we won’t take you on.

Our fee includes 1-2 press releases per month (depends on what you’re promoting), distribution to the media, brainstorming sessions with you to make sure we are in line with your branding message, all costs of postage, phone calls, etc.

Platinum Package – minimum of 3 months – space limited to 1 client per month

$5000/ month

When you consider most large PR firms charge between $5000 -$10,000 a month for PR, we really are a bargain. This package includes everything the Best Value has, and more. We also maintain your blog and social media for you and write 4 articles a month and distribute them on the appropriate Internet sites for your target market.

 

 

 

 

Who’s The Boss?

I was talking to a friend today who works in an office. She said she really hates her job, but as long as she makes sure her boss is happy, she’s pretty sure she will always have a job. I told her that’s probably not the only thing she needs to be worried about in this new economy, but, whatever.

She said she only has to please one person, but I have to please everybody. At first I thought “I don’t have to please anybody. I’m the boss.” But after giving it some thought, I realized she was right. As an entrepreneur, everybody’s your boss. And since I’m running multiple businesses that number multiplies greatly. She IS right. EVERYBODY is my boss. And I have to make them all happy. [Read more…] about Who’s The Boss?

The Learning Curve

The unemployment numbers lately have been pretty bleak. But for recent college graduates they are even worse. Almost half of all recent grads are either unemployed or underemployed, meaning there are a lot of very educated people flipping burgers and serving cappuccino. I’ve been there. It’s the learning curve.

I used to dodge the question I would always get asked “So, where did you go to college?” “Um, oh, a school you’ve never heard of”, and drop the subject. I always felt like I was missing out on some kind of secret party that everyone had been invited to except me.

The truth is that I could have gone. I’m sure my parents would have scraped together the money somehow or borrowed it if I had pushed the issue. But I didn’t. Instead I saved up a few hundred dollars and as soon as I turn 18 I left my small town and jumped on a plane headed to NYC.

I had no idea where I was going to go or what I was going to do when I got there. And I didn’t know anyone at all in the city. Talk about not having a plan! But fate had other plans for me. [Read more…] about The Learning Curve

How Well Do You Know Your Customer?

How well do you know your customer? The more you know about them, the better you’ll be able to serve them.

I just got back from speaking at the California Public Information Officers Conference on the topic of “Getting Your Message Across: What Great Leaders Know About Storytelling”.

I really didn’t know what these people did, but I decided to do a lot of homework to find out. I’m glad I did because it paid off and they noticed.

Know your customer

The reason I’m bringing this up is because it’s important to know who your customer is. Since I was speaking at a conference, my customer was the meeting planner that hired me. But the “end user” was the people who were in the audience. So I actually had to know both for different reasons.

Let’s say, for example, you have a product or service to sell. You could sell that product directly to the end user, or you could sell it to a distributor, wholesaler, or retailer. With each one, you need to know the needs and concerns of each customer. And some of their concerns overlap. [Read more…] about How Well Do You Know Your Customer?

Product Prototype

I remember trying to explain my first product, swiggies, wrist water bottles when I didn’t have a tangible prototype to show. “It’s a bottle that straps onto your wrist and has a pull top like a regular sports bottle.” People were picturing a regular water bottle that simply strapped onto your wrist.

Even when I made a clay prototype, it still didn’t quite register. The clay was molded into a small bottle type figure that sat on top of the wrist and had a vel-stretch band through it to keep it from moving. The cap opened and closed like a sports bottle.

It wasn’t until I had the finished product in the packaging that people finally went “Oh, I get it!”

Because most people can’t visualize something exactly the way you can with your own vision. So, if you plan on licensing, or even manufacturing yourself, it’s good to have some type of prototype for several reasons. [Read more…] about Product Prototype
