When your business is covered by media; whether traditional media such as newspapers, radio, magazines and TV, or digital media such as websites, social networking sites, blogs, etc; your company’s image boosts as the message is spread by third party and not from you. After learning the techniques of writing competent content for press release, fostering relations with reporters, media coverage may hopefully start working. The next question arises is how much is publicity worth?

Here are certain ways that will help you ascertain the value of PR:

Circulation:

There might be countless number of people subscribing to newspapers, magazines or any other form of print media such as newsletters. These subscribers do not include those who read the publications in doctor’s clinic, or at the newsstand. Apart from these, there might be equal number of followers on Twitter, or likers on Facebook. Also, the publicity is done by TV and radio, and that is how the audience comes to know about your company or products offered.

Frequency of ads:

The number of times your ...
... ads are viewed by people is known as coverage. It may be done by a unique or repeat viewer and it can be different from the number of subscribers because single ad is viewed by one person or by many.

Size of publication:

How famous is the media you have chosen for coverage really matters. If most of your company’s clients are local, then the in-state newspapers and magazines may work as a jackpot. If your business is on national or international level, then probably you need a big publication such as CNN, The New York Times, or Vogue magazine. Determine how much you want to expand your business and then weigh the prominence of publication. More the well-known is the newspaper, the greater number of audience you will be able to reach.

Profile of the coverage:

Once you have determined how famous the publication is, ascertain the value of placement. A front-page ad is much more effective compared to the one-line news printed on the back page. You may rank it as high, low or medium to measure the effectiveness of the coverage. You may come to know that a high placement in a local newspaper will create a greater impact than the low placement in a national newspaper. Of course, the tone of the publication is also crucial. High placement in newspaper is worth when the media coverage is good. Try to track whether your company’s image is enhanced or is becoming negative.
