Here is what people are saying about the Media-Savvy-to-Go Workbook:
"We read a lot of ebooks. Every once in a while,
we say, "Okay, this is great. This is one we
can share in newsletter." In fact, this might
be the first one we've recommended.
The Media-Savvy-To-Go-Workbook is an ebook by Nancy
Juetten. A while back gave this comprehensive workbook
to an associate, and am thinking that I too could
be well served by going through it.
As the Gift List Media media kit is getting a face
lift for an an online debut and a new pitching season
is upon us, it is time to take a fresh look at all
that we know about our business, our customers and
ways to garner new publicity.
This is such an overwhelming task that few take
the time to think through every logical step and
ask themselves some hard questions.
Don't fear the process. Let Nancy Juetten's workbook
walk you through this creative journey.
You'll actually get your story down on paper. Not
as easy as it sounds.
She gives you a 21 point task list for getting your
website up to snuff.
Do you know what an elevator speech is? You will,
and you'll have one ready.
You'll answer some important questions about developing
story hooks for your product.
As well as some great examples of well written press
releases, pitch letters and much more.
She has a few different products and they are all
very reasonably priced. The workbook is under $60.
Let me know what you think about it.."

“I just read Nancy Juetten's work, Media-Savvy-to-Go, and am newly equipped with so many ready-to-implement ideas for my clients and my own business. When colleagues in my circles talk about public relations experts, Nancy's name inevitably comes up. For good reason: Nancy achieves the kind of success most of us dream of, and her clients benefit from Nancy's desire to truly understand their business and then craft a story that magically meets the needs of the media that day. “

“I completed reading your Workbook and found it very thorough and -- as expected -- well put together. I think you have wonderful tool that should be of interest to all small and midsized business owners. Well done and good luck to you.”

“I really enjoyed the info in your book. I think it is a great toolkit for the company on a budget and is very ‘common sense.’ It gives someone the process and approach. Obviously, they have to implement it, and -- as with most small businesses -- they won’t be able to follow through. It will provide an opportunity for you to provide assistance for those growing companies that don’t have the resources for implementation. They will come to understand the value of your services. Nice job.”

“Thank you again for the opportunity to review your Workbook. I think its content will prove to be very useful for businesses trying to develop some ‘buzz’ and grow their clientele. As a member of the news media, I especially appreciated the following advice you offer:
1. Pitching stories with a focus on timely, newsworthy,
relevant and local elements. For those businesses
wanting to get some ink in a trend story or to offer
a column, I think it is very important that they
remember not to make their company "the star,"
as you put it. That's what ads are for, and an editor
will likely put the kibosh on any ‘news story’
that comes across as an advertorial.
2. Thank you for your advice regarding the LAQ "lame
ass quote." This should apply not only to interviews,
but also to news releases. When a company is hiring
personnel, acquiring another business or opening
a new store, a news release is a great way to get
the ball rolling in terms of a story or even a short
brief, but quotes about ‘how happy’
the executive is to have hired someone or ‘how
thrilled’ they are to be celebrating a grand
opening isn't going to help the cause. Any quote
in a news release should further the story and add
depth. It is THE opportunity for a business owner
to craft his or her own quote.
3. Your advice regarding the editorial calendar is spot-on. Business owners and professionals are experts in their field, and they do have information to offer. If half of the business community took the time to research the editorial calendars of their media outlets of choice, I'm sure they would find topics they could contribute to. I'd suggest that they think about contacting the media in a timely manner with their story idea so that they have a better chance of getting it in print/on the air.”
