ACPR Blog

This week has been pretty slow going - I have done lots of admin but struggled to make progress with a few big jobs. However, I have had a nice boost with a couple of bits of coverage for A Guide to Promoting your Business, in Craft Business Magazine and In House magazine. The later goes out with every Viking Stationery order, which is a great way to get news out about the book to thousands of small business owners who I would not reach otherwise. If you want to BUY this practical guide to business promotion, read the first chapter for free or download templates for a press release, visit www.prbasics.co.uk

I got both bits of coverage after responding to requests on Response Source. Journalists place requests for information on the site - a very useful place to know about. It is a subscription service, but if you are serious about promotion, an investment of a few hundred pounds a year is worthwhile.  

PRBasics is a site I created with some PR Resources to support my book, A Guide to Promoting Your Business. Over the last month or so, I created a BTTradespace for PRBasics. BTTradespace is a free business showcase – you can have a limited number of products on offer and add blogs, podcasts and photos for free, or choose to pay a fee of around £15 a month to sell unlimited products. Since I set up the Tradespace page, around a thousand new people have found out about my book, and the site had now been  picked as BT Tradespacer of the week.

My new book, Family Friendly Working, has its first review. The Bookseller magazine previews books so the book trade can get orders in pre-publication. Their reviewer writes:

“Many parents have to make tough decisions about returning to work after having a baby. So there is excellent potential for this guide in which a mother and small business advisor shares her ideas for finding work that fits comfortably around having kids.” The Bookseller Caroline Sanderson
