10 Deadly Sins Against Positive PR Perception

How Are You Perceived? Public relations helps to shape and cultivate how others perceive you. But before you can focus your ‘public relations’ on others you need to shape and cultivate your story for yourself and be able to tell it effectively. That means you need to envision ‘yourself’ clearly. Then, and only then, can you place it before others.

Salon Blog and Twitter – A Yummy Combination

Get ‘Engaged’

As our BeautyPRpro blog subscribers know, Sharon and I are great proponents of using social media to help you get closer to your clients (and the media), attract new clients (and the media) that don’t know about you yet, and keep you more ‘connected’ to all them … regularly.

PR isn't Just About Media

By Alex Irving, on January 16th, 2009 We often forget that PR strategically impacts every level of our organizations. It’s not only about the consumer or your client, it’s about your staff too. After all, it’s their perceptions, attitudes and actions that ‘color’ your client’s lives as well as their hair every day.
