Building your brand profile in your sector and growing your exposure is an essential part of driving increased sales.  
PR is one of the best ways to do this with 84% of people trusting personal recommendations in their buying decisions. As journalists are considered trustworthy, PR helps you to get your product or service recommended to a very large audience.

Find their latest tips below on how business owners can grow sales. 

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.
