Welcome to PR Kit!


PR Kit is a series of files designed to help the business owner enhance his or her marketing efforts by offering practical suggestions on how to employ no-cost and low-cost public relations activities to build awareness of your business.

The information and ideas in PR Kit have been distilled from more than two decades of journalism and public relations experience, as well as five years’ experience operating a home-based business.

While PR Kit is geared to the small or home-based business, the suggestions are equally applicable to larger firms. Too many businesses of all sizes miss opportunities to promote themselves to potential customers because they tend to rely almost exclusively on advertising to market themselves and their products or services. Advertising is expensive and often doesn’t produce the desired results. A carefully thought-out series of public relations activities can help build the sort of awareness over time that makes advertising more effective.

Included in prkit.exe are three files, each in both Windows Write and ASCII formats, for use in any word processing program:

	_readme.wri (_readme.txt)  -  this file
	_smallpr.wri (_smallpr.txt)  -  the main file
	_samples.wri (_samples.txt)  -  a file containing examples that you can modify and use
