Ultimately, the way you handle your company’s public relations can be make or break for your future. This may sound dramatic, but in this day and age when the way a company is perceived is so important, you don’t want to take your chances by overlooking PR. If you’re curious about how public relations can impact your company’s success and image, Sapience Communications have looked into three of the biggest impacts.
Reputation
It goes without saying that company and brand’s reputation is so important and in order for your company to succeed you need to ensure that you’re not just aware of your current reputation but, constantly working to improve this reputation. By looking at social media mentions, news article tones and online reviews, amongst other things, you can begin to understand your company’s reputation.
The overall aim of public relations services is to inform the public and ultimately persuade them to maintain a positive or favourable view about your company. It is all about sending the right messages to the right place and the right people at the right time, creating a stronger brand reputation.
Revenue
Of course, in business, time is money and in order for a business to be successful revenue should never be overlooked. It may come as a surprise but, your revenue can actually be directly linked to your PR, after all, if you enhance your reputation through a variety of PR techniques then it is likely that you will obtain new customers.
Public relations is definitely an area that can transform the future and profitability of a business. When investing both time and money into your PR strategies of course you will want to see results and many companies actually see a clear ROI with their public relations.
Recruiting
In order for a company to be successful, it needs to have an incredible team that are all working towards the same end goal. A company is never a ‘one-man-band’ and no one should underestimate the importance of having good employees. Again, surprisingly to some, PR actually has an effect on both recruitment and employee retention. Whilst you may passionately believe your company is an exceptional place to work, you can’t just assume that your current and potential employees feel the same way.
You can use PR to help improve how potential employees perceive your brand and work to attract new employees. It can also positively affect current staff morale and after all, a positive workforce means increased productivity which in turn should also increase your staff retention.
Working with a PR agency
When you take time to actually think about the way that PR impacts a company it is clear to see why so many companies prioritise their public relations.
