 The Value Of Public Relations
A growing number of chefs, restaurants and food service companies are recognizing first-hand that the impact of favorable feature stories in the media has greater impact than print and broadcast advertisements.
You may have heard the saying, “Advertising you pay for, but public relations you pray for.” Though the adage is old, it is especially true today.
A carefully crafted public relations campaign will raise both media and consumer awareness of a restaurant, and the profile of a chef. Though you may not realize it, every restaurant and chef has a story to tell. The important part is making it known. The “buzz” about a restaurant and a chef begins and remains through the media. By cultivating positive relationships with the media and creating publicity via the media, restaurant operators and chefs enhance their chances for continued success.
