Create a PR storm and build momentum for your start-up

from The Art of Startup Fundraising by Alejandro Cremades

How to Apply This

  1. Network and build relationships with journalists.
    You may focus on inbound-outbound warm blogger outreach, tap local press connections or choose a press release service that includes blasts to journalists.
  2. Establish your own start-up blog and post shareable and quotable content related to your industry.
    Consider publishing new infographics, then emailing key bloggers to encourage them to share them.
  3. Hire a professional freelance writer to create your press releases.
    Press releases can cover product/service launches, casting calls for early adopters, new/closing funding rounds, crowdfunding, new staff appointments, events, the founding story, key milestones, and product/service trends.
  4. Include clear calls to action in your press release.
    For example, add a call for more interviews and a phone number, targeted landing page link, and URL for pre-orders or links to a crowdfunding page
  5. Track and measure the performance of your different PR approaches.
    This way, ROI can be effectively tracked, and future PR can be maximized.
