Request for advice: press release / coverage

[fozzyo]

Just wondering if anyone could give me any advice, suggestions, ideas or anything of that nature.

There is a strong possibility that I am about to give up my day job in IT and pursue my other interests, mostly my massage business. I'm doing quite well building up clients etc, but I can always take on more.

What I'd like to do is try to get some press coverage for my massage and Waxing (Waxing for Guys) business, but not really sure of the best way of going about it.

Any help gratefully received, please feel free to PM if you prefer.

Thanks.
Mat

Eh up - This isn't one of those B,S & C "waxing for guys" type businesses is it Dean?

Ooooooouch [:0]



In terms of press releases, etc (and industry contacts ) I'm sure Pete's your man though [y]

Mat's the one you need to ask Paul

If he does decide to do that at a later date, he's not practicing on me, I can assure you

Dean

Bloody hell - We're going to have to change your screen names to something more easily remembered. Like "Matt" and "Dean" [:p]

Yours, the illiterate, blind, anmesic fool, Paul. [:I]

I wonder if dropping a release on SourceWire stressing the novelty value of leaving IT for Massage would work? http://www.sourcewire.com/

Mat, why stick to waxing guys, you will make stacks of dosh waxing the female of the species, girls feel more comfortable around gay men (you don't need me to tell you that) coz they are not trying to score all the time so don't shut yourself out of a potentially lucrative market.

Totally agree with you Barry, the Waxing For Guys site is just a dedicated website for some branding and promotional purposes, it's a nice market that isn't targeted in my area. My main massage site will promote waxing for whoever wants it. The separation is also to make it much more 'masculine' in a nature, a lot of guys like to be waxed but not going to the traditional high street female dominated beauty salon.

personally I find the caveman look more attractive than the twinky stuff thats in fashion right now[oo]
