PRPoints
This is a blog about public relations. If you want public relations information, want to post a PR problem, or just want to comment, you've come to the right place.Public Relations has a formal textbook definition, but here, we're going to think of it as working to provide information to various publics; information about your organization. Further, we're going to recognize that information needs to come back from those same publics in order to help guide the organization.Shucks, that still sounds a little formal, but PR is communicating both inside and outside your organization. As one of my mentors, Ned Hubbel used to say, "The four points to good public relations are these:1. Have a good program.2. Have a good program.3. Have a good program.4. Let people know about it.Ned has since passed on, but that advice still holds true.Dick

Voila, a new old PRPoints
The folks at Google came to the rescue.
You see, my email had changed so I couldn't be reached at the old email address. I thought the blog would be forever lost in the electronic never-never land because I couldn't get in to add, change or delete anything.
Now that's fixed, thanks to Karl at Google, and my email address is current and I'm delighted.
Here's a PR suggestion:
Look at your place of business from an outsider's viewpoint. What do you/they see?
Is it the kind of place you'd like to be associated with or does it need paint, lightbulbs or any of the other "little" things we tend to overlook when we come to the same place every working day. Here's where a little change can go a long way to providing a positive image.
'Til next time,
Dick
