521. Strategy Behind Developing A Press Release w Mickie Kennedy

Tersh talks with Mickie Kennedy of eReleases.com about creating the perfect press release for your service business!

As a small business, I've often wondered why I would consider having a press release, but Mickie took the time in today's episode to share with us the true value of having press releases as an HVAC or plumbing company. Also, do note that Mickie believes that a plane jane air conditioning company like Service Emperor can still be sexy! 

Here is a little information about Mickie and his team over eReleases.com

Mickie Kennedy is an expert at helping small businesses, authors, and startups increase their visibility and credibility. 22 years ago, Mickie founded eReleases after realizing that small businesses desperately need a press release service they can afford. While working in PR. Mickie came face to face with customers that wanted to use press releases due to their effectiveness at bringing in business, but could not afford to pay the extremely high startup fees that most agencies charged. Mickie saw an
opportunity to help — and eReleases was born.

Mickie created eReleases to give small businesses access to the media and to a national newswire – all with a personal touch. eReleases has grown since then and even works with big names now, but the spirit of Mickie’s original intent has not changed. eReleases delivers personal service and exceptional value to every customer, with every press release, at every price point.

Mickie lives in Baltimore County with his family and two feuding cats. He enjoys British science fiction and acknowledges an unhealthy addiction to diet soda. Mickie holds an MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis in Poetry from George Mason University. He still writes poetry most Monday nights with a group of fellow misfits in Brunswick, Maryland.
