JBLH Communications Announces NeedPRNow
New York, NY, October 30, 2008 --(PR.com)-- New Free National Referral and Matchmaking Division of JBLH Communications to Help Small Businesses Get the PR They Need.
“When You Need PR Now to Take Your Business to the Next Level.”
JBLH Communications, (www.jblhcommunications.com) a NYC-based PR consultancy founded in 2003, is pleased to announce the launch of its newest division, NeedPRNow (www.jblhcommunications.com/NeedPRNow.aspx), a free national referral and matchmaking service to help U.S.-based small businesses obtain basic PR services from carefully vetted and qualified PR consultants.
Jocelyn Brandeis, co-founder of JBLH Communications, said, “JBLH Communications is thrilled to launch NeedPRNow to help match small businesses which need basic PR services with PR consultants who can help these businesses gain exposure at an affordable price. We see this as a win-win-win for PR firms and consultants making referrals, potential clients, and PR consultants working with NeedPRNow. We’re looking to help PR firms and consultants gain clients, even when some potential clients may not be able to pay their regular fees. In this tough economic environment, we all need to help each other, and NeedPRNow is helping all three parties find each other and benefit one way or another. NeedPRNow’s basic PR service is a way to get the client started with PR in order to assist their businesses in growing to the next level – including one where they can afford full service PR campaigns, and ultimately, hire the PR firm they initially contacted for services.”
Basic PR services include the elements of a basic press kit: press releases, executive bios, fact sheet, and company backgrounder as well as a basic competitive analysis, basic media training, newsletters, crisis communications, and creating a targeted media list and pitching the client’s Top 15 major media outlets, 30 secondary outlets and 30 tertiary outlets over a three (3) month (minimum and mandatory) period. Media outlets can be radio, TV, websites, blogs, magazines, newspapers, etc. – whatever the client wishes. NeedPRNow PR Consultants may choose to recommend and provide additional services (satellite/radio media tours, press clipping services, creating social networking webpages, press release distribution services, awards submissions, speaking engagements, gift bag opportunities, marketing, and events, etc.) to clients, at cost (no markup) to client, if the consultant chooses.
Both potential clients and PR consultants are thoroughly screened via downloadable questionnaires and then reviewed by JBLH Communications to match PR consultants’ skills to clients’ needs.
Potential clients click here: jblhcommunications.com/clientsseekingpr.aspx
PR consultants click here: jblhcommunications.com/prforhire.aspx
And PR firms and consultants making referrals can find additional information here: jblhcommunications.com/referrals.aspx.
Once clients have been matched with their consultant and completed their allotted contract, we strongly encourage those businesses to contact the original PR firm (if one made the referral) and inquire about their services for a full PR campaign.
PR consultants, who must have a minimum of three years experience and must have a tax ID (different from their Social Security number) to work with NeedPRNow, are not employees of JBLH Communications and will be required, if hired by the potential client, to remit a percentage of their contract fee to JBLH Communications for a specific period of time.
NeedPRNow also has a Board of Advisors, all with more than 10 years experience in PR, to advise PR consultants who encounter potentially unfamiliar situations (i.e., crisis communications, media training, PR stunts, etc.). The Board of Advisors will not work directly with the client, as a client could be in conflict with their own businesses, but the Board will advise PR consultants should their services be needed.
