Current
Media Coverage on Ramp-a-thon Activities
Find media outlets interested
in human interest stories
- Media outlets are ALWAYS
looking for new stories. Human interest stories are good fillers
for when there isn’t quite enough violence and bad news to
fill the time slot!!
- Prepare a press release
and send it to all local media sources. I’ll post some examples
of press releases on the website.
- Yes, this is for a good
cause but it never hurts to get your name plastered on the news.
Mention the media coverage to your potential material/cash donors
and that might help them “get on board.”
- You could either arrange
to have a media crew out to the house on the day of the build OR
take pics of the process OR have them out afterward to shoot the
finished product.
Get
permission from the recipients first
before inviting the media to their house!!
Media coverage
might be beneficial to their cause,
they might welcome the exposure. BUT CHECK FIRST!
- Internet
exposure? Human interest stories work online as well, through blogs,
forums, online-only media outlets, etc. We'll get as much interest
as possible for this project.
- As this is being born
on contractortalk.com,
we might need to get some ContractorTalk t-shirts to wear during
the build day. I'll talk w/ Nathan about sponsor possibilities,
advertising, promotion, etc.
Builders, a great way to
get into the conversation would be to join the thread
at contractortalk.com. This where we'll informally discuss the
various aspects of this project.
