Public relations is all about relationships, which you should nurture on a regular basis. Here are four non-creepy ways to do so.
Of course, all relationships are give and take, and it’s important that you focus on giving back to reporters as much as you can. How can you do that? It’s pretty easy and doesn’t have to take a lot of time or energy.
Here are four simple ways to show reporters a little love and improve your relationships with them in the process.
