Media Coverage of Tennessee Home Inventory Service Business

News releases can lead to media coverage of your business.

Just ask A.J. Farley, owner of Farley Home Services in Murfreesboro, Tenn. A news release he sent out generated a story in the Murfreesboro Post.

To build on this initial coverage, I would recommend:

• Sending a copy of the article to all your referral sources (insurance agents, real estate agents, estate attorneys, etc.) and past clients.
• Including a copy of the article in any information you send or give to prospective clients.
• Creating a "Press" section on your website, and include any news releases you've sent, fact sheets/media kit information, your photo and bio, and links to articles about your business.

Remember, publicity begets publicity. Read this blog post for more ideas on how to leverage your publicity to get even more media attention. This blog post will give you more ideas on how to use news releases to generate publicity. (Or use the Blogger search box in the upper left hand corner -- search "Publicity" to find even more resources.)

S.C. Wildfires a Reminder Threat is Year-Round

This weekend's wildfires in South Carolina are a grim reminder that the need for a home inventory to help replace items lost in a wildfire doesn't end with the summer. More than 100 homes are smoldering in South Carolina after this weekend.

I've been reading the responses to the first-ever industry survey, and one of the biggest challenges remains attracting clients, and spreading the word about home inventory services. Sending news releases (like this Wildfire-related one) is a great way to get the attention your home inventory service business needs.
