Midlands PR agency offer PR packages to SMEs
15 April 2009.
Vitis Public Relations, a
Midlands technology PR
agency, has launched a series of
public relations
starter packages for members of the UK
IT Association.
“In today’s economic climate we know how important reducing costs are
while keeping your brand name visible, so we have put together three PR
packages to provide UK IT Association members with the basic tools to
conduct their own PR activity and benefit from exposure in regional media,
trade press and online while keeping costs down,” says Ranbir Sahota,
Director of Vitis PR.
The UK IT Association provides business opportunities for SME technology
companies and has close to 300 active members and many of them stem from the
Midlands region.
The packages include press
release templates, local, trade or national press contacts, information on
PR newswires and a basic handbook on PR. For companies who want help with online
presence, Vitis PR is also offering basic
online PR including on page
web content optimisation and also set up a
company blog.
“The power of online PR is stronger now than ever, so we have developed PR
packages that every member of the association can benefit from. For instance, by
providing basic press release templates, companies can customise these, send to
their local media, and if relevant to trade media. They can also place the news
releases on a newswire to gain some all important online exposure for their
company.”
By offering do-it-yourself PR packages, Vitis PR is providing a much needed
service as many companies are seeking ways to reduce their PR outlay.
“Companies working with PR
agencies or PR consultants
gain the benefit of years of PR
experience. However, many small technology businesses do not conduct PR
activity as it is deemed to be too expensive to use a professional PR agency,
even though PR is one of the most cost effective marketing communications
activities. With our basic packages even the smallest technology company can
gain from professional PR,“ added Ranbir Sahota.
