Local newspaper coverage

I was fortunate enough to be covered by our local newspaper recently. The article came out in this past Saturday's paper and I've already had a handful of calls and new details scheduled because of it. I would encourage anyone that details for money to contact your newspaper to take advantage of some free advertising. It's all part of the "guerrilla marketing" if any of you have read that book. If your newspaper is like ours right now, they are looking for new stories to cover.



Hendricks County Flyer, Avon, IN - It’s all in the details
 
How did you get them to do an article. I've tried to write some articles for them, but no luck.........



Cheers,

GREG
 
Thanks guys!



Greg - My wife works in the marketing department of our county hospital. We worked a little barter deal with the lady that does media relations so she just sent the newspaper an email saying, "hey, there's new detailer in Brownsburg that's eco-friendly and has some details worth mentioning...". Our paper needed to fill some space so within a week they called to come out and talk to me. Even if you don't have a connection like that, I'd keep hitting them up on a regular basis. Since it's free advertising, it's worth the effort.



Thanks again!
 
Adam - Thanks! Give me a call when you're in the area.



Got Leather - Thank you! After a rough end to last year, it's nice to finally be up and running again.



Todd - Thanks, I appreciate it. I just need to work on getting my reverse logo on my ceiling now...hehe! :)
 
My local newspaper did the same thing for my new mobile business. You can go to mydailytribune.com and search under Attention to Detail
 
Come on man get a life. I was not posting this to do drive business, God knows I am busy enough. I do this part-time taking in 25-30 cars a month and use it for some spending money not as support for my family. I was posting this on there to show that it is rather easy to get coverage in the newspaper. By the way I am located in southeastern Ohio not even in the same state as yourself. Hate to see what kind of **** you are to your competitors.
 
Any kind of positive advertising is nice. FREE advertising in the form of a newspaper or television news endorsement is awesome!!!!:2thumbs:
