Media Guidelines:
We send many media opportunties to professionalls that are members and
at times those non-members that have registered for our information.
Getting a quote in the media, on a blog etc can bring you
additional business. It will open you up to inquires on your services. Seek
out opportunities to be the expert in your area.
Please read and follow these guidelines.
1) Reporter queries from reporters and outlets from all over the
world. Scan the emails, and if you’re knowledgeable about the topic, answer
the reporter directly.
2) Don’t SPAM reporters with off-topic pitches in response to their
queries.
3) You MAY forward queries to friends, but DO NOT post them on blogs
or anywhere on the web please leave our contact information on them..
4) When replying to a HARO query, please follow the reporter’s request.
If they ask for something specific in the email subject line, put it in there.
If they ask you to cut and paste information into an email (instead of sending
an attachment), don’t send attachments.
5) If you send a reply and don’t hear anything in six hours, don’t send
an email asking, “Just wondering if you’re interested in interviewing me/my
expert for your story. I haven’t heard from you yet.” Be patient. HARO is
an amazing service that nets reporters hundreds of email responses. It can
be challenging to go through them–and respond to people–in a timely basis.
6) If you think you have a better angle for the reporter’s story,
don’t reply and tell them that. Most likely this reporter has been assigned
this story–or told to research a specific angle–and your telling him/her that
the angle is all wrong and you know a better angle for the reporter to take
will not endear you to this reporter. It will make that reporter want to
avoid talking to your know-it-all self even more.
7) Read the query clearly and beyond the first line of the blurb.
Most often if you take the time to read all the way through, you will find
out what magazine (or a description of the kind of publication) this reporter
is writing for, the specific angle and the details he/she is looking to cover
in the story. Do not just hit “reply” after reading the one-line blurb at
the top of the mail.
8) Don’t reply to a journalist and recommend they Google “such and
such.” I know how to do my own research, thanks very much. I’m looking for
experts, not a research assistant.

We need assistance exhibiting in Bridal Shows throughout
the us: Wedding Solutions.
I would like to
introduce you to the Wedding Solutions
Regional Director program. As you probably know, Wedding
Solutions Publishing Inc. is the largest and most respected publishing company
of wedding books in America. For the last 15 years, we have helped
millions of brides and grooms plan their perfect wedding through our 30 best
selling wedding books. And WeddingSolutions.com
is one of the top three most popular wedding planning websites.
We are now creating
a network of professional wedding consultants that will become WeddingSolutions.com Regional Directors.
These consultants will represent WeddingSolutions.com
at bridal shows, wedding mixers, and perhaps at upcoming wedding planning
seminars in their area.
These professionals
will be endorsed and promoted by Wedding
Solutions.com as consultants who meet or exceed their clients’
expectations and who offer excellent standards of service and professionalism.
We are currently
seeking for a top wedding consultant in your area. As a WeddingSolutions.com
Regional Director you will receive the following benefits:
a) You will be able
to represent yourself as the WeddingSolutions.com
Regional Director in your area. This will give added credibility
to your already successful business.
b) You will be able
to represent WeddingSolutions.com at all bridal shows in your area and receive
the leads from all the brides who enter to win a free wedding planning gift
offered at our booth during the show.
c) If allowed by
the show producer, you will be able to affix your business card on the back
of Wedding Solutions fliers that you distribute to brides during the show.
Enclosed is a copy of the flier that you would be handing out at bridal
shows. Please note that this flier has a space for you to attach your
business card.
d) You will receive
a free advertising at WeddingSolutions.com (a $1,200
value)
e) You will also
receive free leads of Wedding
Solutions registered brides
within a 60-mile radius of your address (a $600 value)
f) You will be asked
to complete a free
online wedding planning certification course that will identify
you as a WeddingSolutions.com Certified Wedding Planning Specialist.
($900 value).
g) One of the biggest
benefits of this program is that you will be able to sell Wedding Solutions
best selling wedding planning books to bridal stores in your area.
Once you sell our books to a bridal store in your area, you will receive a
15% commission on all the books purchased by that bridal store for as long
as you remain a Wedding Solutions regional director.
For example, a book that retails for $30.00, you will sell it to the
bridal store at $15.00 and you will get $2.25 commission. If the
bridal store orders 200 books in a year, you would make $450 per year for
one single store, just for presenting our books once to that store.
Imagine what you can make if you sell our books to 20 or 30 bridals stores
in your area. You will also be able to sell our books at bridal shows
in your area. Click here
to see a copy of our best selling wedding planning books.
As
a WeddingSolutions.com Regional Directors,
your responsibilities will be as follows:

Shows in your area and to pay $100.00 to $200 per show to cover the cost
of producing the wedding gift and fliers that will be given away during the

and back to us.

Wedding Solutions wedding planning books at local bridal stores in your
area.

director per major city. So please contact me at your earliest convenience
to assure that you will be considered for this program.
