Building Relationships With Local Businesses

Public relations offers businesses the chance to grow relationships with other local businesses. PR can help create consistent and authentic relationships through collaboration with events such as a pop-up event and cross-promotions through various forms of media. For example, Bluestone Communications works with the client Red Root & Co. and was able to collaborate with Friendly City Food Co-Op, a local organic grocery store, with a feature in their newsletter. PR helps create opportunities for its clients to build strong, lasting relationships with local businesses. 

Reach New Audiences

PR professionals can provide businesses with new ideas and target audiences they may not have considered before in the past. With the help of earned media, such as a feature story in local media, the awareness of the business can reach across many different demographics. PR can also help alter businesses' brand to the audience it fits best but also staying authentic. For example college students may require a different approach compared to an older target audience with the help of PR professionals. In all PR can help businesses expand their brand and awareness of the brand.

PR can help enhance a business's social media. PR professionals know how to enhance a business page to help make it more engaging and credible to its viewers. PR can also help create a stronger and clearer brand image that the business wants to portray by keeping posts consistent throughout.
