One of the best ways to get free publicity is to piggyback on a holiday. Piggybacking in the news biz means jumping on a story with your own spin or story. Here are some of the hundreds of holidays and events in November that you can use to create an interesting story idea.
- Diabetes Month
- Family Stories Month
- I Am So Thankful Month
- Lung Cancer Awareness Month
- National Adoption Day
- National Authors Day
- Peanut Butter Lovers Month
- Sandwich Day
- Pursuit of Happiness Week
- Parents as Teachers Day
- Teddy Bear Day
- Name Your PC Day
- Thanksgiving
- Black Friday
Nice ideas. But how do we use them to pitch a story? Would you create a press release around the holiday?
I’m Lela, new here at b5 too – at Accounting Solver! I’m looking forward to ‘meeting’ the rest of the business bloggers.
One more question for you – any special things to keep in mind if you’ve been asked to do an interview for a big media outlet?
Thanks!
