You can score a great publicity hit if you tie into TV Weatherpersons Day on February 5, which this year also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday.<\/p>\n
I’ve been preaching about this for years because so many Publicity Hounds have told me it works. A few days before February 5, send your local TV weatherperson who will be on camera that day something that says “Happy TV Weatherpersons Day.” It can be a sheet cake. Or a basket of bagels and cream cheese.<\/p>\n
Or do what Cookies by Design<\/a> franchisees have been doing. They send cookie bouquets. And as a result, their favorite weather people all over the U.S. have mentioned them on the weather segment. I blogged about this<\/a> back in March.<\/p>\n Since Feb. 5 falls on a Sunday this year, make sure you send the goodies to the person who will be on camera. At many TV stations, that’s usually the weekend weather person.<\/p>\n February is bubbling over with other story possibilities. My friend, TV reporter Shawne Duperon, who conducted a teleseminar with me called\u00a0“116 WOW! Story Ideas from January through June,”<\/a>\u00a0says\u00a0TV reporters love to report on health stories in February, such as mammograms,\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0screenings and prostate tests.<\/p>\n So think health next month. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You can score a great publicity hit if you tie into TV Weatherpersons Day on February 5, which this year also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday.
