Sales Tips
Why the best, cheapest and easiest way to grow sales is through the media
‘Trust’ is set to be the word of the moment for 2022.
We’ve broadly stopped ‘trusting’ politicians, and there is
increasing evidence that our buying decisions are dependent on the ‘trust’ we
have in the products we are looking at and the businesses selling them.
So for sales growth this year how does a business build the
trust? And how can MENTA help you?
Here are three facts and three things to focus on:
The facts:
· 9 out of 10 of us buy based on reviews and recommendations
· 1 out of 10 of us trust social media
· 43% of us trust print journalists, and 58% broadcast journalists
So, focus on:
· Size
Looking as big as the next business through an active website including a Media Page showing press releases about your business.
· Trust
Make PR a key part of your marketing to build a presence in the media with endorsement from trusted journalists through coverage of your press releases.
· Recommendations
Get your business in the journalists’ recommendations lists through timely press releases and responding to their requests for product ideas.
