LT Public Relations Introduces Workshop, “Buzz On A Budget: PR Tools for Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs”

Portland, OR, September 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- LT Public Relations, LLC, a full-service communications firm specializing in cost-effective public relations support for emerging companies, recently introduced its proprietary workshop, “Buzz On A Budget: PR Tools for Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs.” The four-hour workshop is designed to equip small businesses with tailored public relations strategies and tactics that can help significantly—yet inexpensively—raise awareness, complement the brand, and meet business objectives.

The ability to clearly and consistently communicate a company’s brand is important to the success of any business. Today’s businesses are challenged with determining the most impactful and economical mediums to pursue to communicate their offerings—e.g. traditional media (TV, radio, print), social media (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn), etc.

The “Buzz On A Budget” workshop will help participants:
· Strengthen their brand and increase sales through public relations
· Identify and pursue PR opportunities that directly and positively impact their business objectives
· Capitalize on the numerous new PR tools currently available

“As a small business ourselves, we empathize with emerging companies and entrepreneurs that have limited resources to broadly market themselves,” says Casey Boggs, president of LT Public Relations. “Since we actively research and pursue these new public relations approaches that get the biggest bang for the buck, we felt others could benefit from this valuable information, and ultimately, help themselves generate buzz.”

Each workshop ($85/$65 for 501(c)(3),non-profits) is limited to 30 participants to ensure each person receives proper attention. Workshops will initially be scheduled in the Pacific Northwest, with expansion plans throughout the United States in 2010. Upcoming Portland, Oregon workshops are:
· September 29th (8:00 AM–12:00 PM) at McMenamin's Kennedy School (5736 N.E. 33rd Ave. Portland, OR)
· October 13th (8:00 AM–12:00 PM) at McMenamin's Kennedy School
· October dates and locations in Seattle, Tacoma, and Eugene to be announced soon
