It makes good practical sense to work with someone that is also based locally. The alternative is using one in Wiltshire, Hampshire or further afield and being faced with hours of travelling when organising a meeting.
Much communication can be done by means of the phone or by e-mail these days, but meetings serve as a very important tool in the communication process. Especially when considering things such as strategy and PR objectives.
To get good value for money from them, meeting them and ensuring that they understand your product/service/business 100% is crucial.
These days, many marketing companies can make claims on their websites. That they have worked with certain clients, won awards, and have amazing resources, that are not true (who is to know). So a meeting should lay these fears to rest, and assure you that you are not paying a student thousands of pounds unnecessarily.
Choosing someone that is suited to you in terms of size is important. A new business would be better off using a smaller consultant/agency rather than a high end PR firm, that works with top end clients or FTSE businesses.
Selecting someone that has experience in your industry is also important. Dorset has a wide variety of industry. Ranging from agriculture, business services, healthcare and fishing.
Choosing an agency that has worked in your industry will only add value. PR agencies that have worked in your industry should know the media groups to talk to and get the campaign running quickly. This should give a better return on your investment, and have a better idea of how to position your campaign for optimum results.
PR stunts have been done by many companies over the years to achieve media attention, and the best part of it is that for the most part, they are free of charge.
As long as you know an event where the media are going to be at, such as a high profile court case, or a national event, being creative in your approach should get you the attention you need.
Done right, PR stunts can be like marketing gold dust, but your timing and approach have to be perfect, otherwise it could be a marketing flop.
All PR agencies in Dorset set their own fees, and there are no standard rates as far as PR prices are concerned. Generally, the larger the PR company is, the more they charge for their services. As they have higher overheads, more staff and larger offices than freelancers.
All PR companies in Dorset are private companies and are in business to make profit; their growth comes from the profits they make from customers. Shopping around and comparing rates is therefore important so as to not get overcharged.
Finding someone that is local and good at their job is important. One that can produce great results and bring in big profits is key, but overpaying them is not good, you are only adding to their holiday fund.
