Public Relations -- What it is and what it isn't
         
          PR has received a lot of attention over the years from movies 
          and television that has, unfortunately, often equated it 
          with "publicity at any cost" or exaggerated claims with little
          substance.  Good public relations for your product or service
          demonstrates its value to the industry or community, with
          resulting benefits to your company itself.  Let us show you how
          Public Relations works at its professional best. 

Public relations is one of the most powerful tools 
a client can have  
          
          Liz Richards recognizes that, and has spent years earning a strong
          reputation for knowledge and integrity.  That positions Richards & Lord
          to be accepted by editors, publishers, and industry organizations as a  
          company that is interested in not only the success of  its clients, but also
          of the success and growth of the industry in which they serve.

As a result, Richards & Lord offers the following public relations
services to advance the positioning of their clients -- doing so with
confidence that press releases will be read and picked up online
and/or in print, and that phone calls made on behalf of clients will
be answered:

              Press Releases -- write & place for new products, new
                        appointments, new facilities, etc.
              Articles -- write with client for online or print, to co-ordinate
                        with editorial calendars and industry events
              Editor meetings at trade shows -- schedule and facilitate
              Client involvement in industry events & committees --
                        identify and facilitate
              Client involvement in local community events --
                        identify and orchestrate

              
Public relations is what Richards & Lord sees as one integral part of a total
marketing plan.  Please also see our section on Advertising to see how the
two, when combined, best advance the client in the marketplace and in
the industry.
