Get Yourself Published In Your Local Newspaper

Yesterday I was in an article about our company in the local newspaper. It was a nice sized article on the center-fold of the paper, and we've already run into plenty of people who have seen it. It's generated some phone calls, although that wasn't our intention. In fact, we didn't make the article happen, it just so happens that the editor came into the store 10 years ago for a photo restoration, probably one of our firsts, and was surprised to see us still around 10 years later. That prompted her to come inside, learn about what we were doing (we had filled up one small office in the building then, and now fill the building), interviewed the owner and scheduled the paper's photographer to come by.

It's easier than you'd think to get in your local paper. Here are some examples of recent local newspapers with stories on local photo restoration experts:


A company called Digital Magic up in Kodak Country, or Rochester, New York got herself on TV - all about photo restoration. Photo restoration makes for great human interest stories, and the before and after images you can provide make for great graphics.

Nancy Lynne Photography - She'd received a merit award for a photo she took, but someone took the time to contact the paper about it, and then not just focus on the award, but on all the services she provides.
