Your brand needs PR more than you think, especially if you want to generate income. As PR professionals, we may seem biased, but here\u2019s the truth: PR is in charge of putting your products and services in front of the eyes of your target audience. It\u2019s what shows consumers that you exist and can provide the solutions to their problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once people see your brand for the first time, they\u2019ll begin to notice it more frequently\u2014this is called frequency bias. Frequency bias plays into the idea that once we notice something for the first time, we\u2019re more likely to continue noticing it. And the more we see something, the more inclined we are to trust it\u2014especially if some places people see your brand are esteemed industry publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Forrester, you\u2019ll need to be in front of your consumers 27 times during their buyer\u2019s journey before converting and making a purchase. With PR working on your side, those 27 touchpoints will happen more quickly, and each touchpoint will be more impactful\u2014helping you build trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how does PR generate revenue? It creates brand visibility through frequency bias while building credibility and trust\u2014all of which leads to higher conversion rates and an increase in share of voice.
