Trade Show Publicity<br \/>\n==================================<\/p>\n<p>The next time you go to a trade show as a speaker, vendor or just<br \/>\nto walk the floor, look for all the publicity opportunities right<br \/>\nunder your nose.<\/p>\n<p>Bigger shows often have a press room where reporters and bloggers<br \/>\ncan write and file stories. You won&#8217;t be allowed inside, but you<br \/>\ncan hang around outside the door and introduce yourself to<br \/>\njournalists coming and going.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re exhibiting, you have even more opportunities for<br \/>\npublicity. But the real work begins eight to 10 weeks before the<br \/>\nshow, when you ask the show&#8217;s PR staff for a preregistered media<br \/>\nlist. Contact reporters and bloggers relevant to your industry<br \/>\nand ask to make an appointment with them at the show to introduce<br \/>\nthem to your new product or service, or just for a getting-to-<br \/>\nknow-you session. Their schedules fill up quickly.<\/p>\n<p>You can access a free White Paper from Business Wire that serves<br \/>\nas a checklist for the many other things you need to do before,<br \/>\nduring and after the show.

I&#8217;ve included them all, explained how you should<br \/>\nanswer them, and noted which ones are trick questions, in my<br \/>\nupdated &#8220;Special Report #2: Questions You Can Expect Reporters to<br \/>\nAsk During an Interview.&#8221; Order it at<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/shop\/special-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> http:\/\/publicityhound.com\/publicity-products\/reports.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The best surprise is no surprise.<\/p>\n<p>===============================<br \/>\n3. Sell Blog Sponsorships<br \/>\n===============================<\/p>\n<p>Are you letting companies sponsor specific blog posts, certain<br \/>\nblog categories or your entire blog?<\/p>\n<p>If not, consider it.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s no formula that I know of on how to price this. A lot<br \/>\ndepends on the kind of traffic you pull. So know your stats. And<br \/>\nexperiment with pricing.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one idea from my webinar on &#8220;27 Ways to Monetize<br \/>\nYour Blog&#8221; which explains everything from &#8220;tip jars&#8221; at your blog<br \/>\nto selling blog content as a product.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the kinds of tactics it includes at<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> http:\/\/publicityhound.com\/publicity-products\/marketing-tapes\/howtomonetizeyourblog.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>===============================<br \/>\n4.
