WLSB and PUBLIC RELATIONS
Building and maintaining your reputation are one of the most important investments you will make in your small business as time marches onwards. Sometimes small business owners overlook public relations or simply don't have the time.
It's important to understand public relations, media relations, digital marketing, communications plans and how they all relate to your business goals. Add a public relations campaign or short-term digital marketing strategy to the many tools in your small business toolbox. There are many public relations techniques for reputation management, including community, research, issues management, surveys, questionnaires, conflict resolution communications, and internet decision analytics.
