Sarah Martin, Agency Director at The Lime Envelope public relations and events agency believes that the antidote to a crowded marketplace is the magic of great PR, and is launching a specialised new service to bring out the best in SMEs.<br \/>\u201cSouth African entrepreneurs and business owners are finally emerging from lockdown after a difficult six months. They have survived and are ready to thrive again,\u201d says Sarah. \u201cBut standing out is going to be quite a challenge as everyone pushes for business. So, The Lime Envelope team put our heads together to formulate a \u2018cure\u2019 to the clutter that is specifically aimed at SMEs, who don\u2019t have the PR budgets that corporates do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Lime Envelope\u2019s SME PR in a Box solution offers smaller businesses an affordable six-month campaign that is strategically geared at getting maximum exposure in the COVID-19 economy.<br \/>The package includes one press release a month; a monthly Google Ads\/Keyword campaign to improve SEO; four social media posts every month, and a monthly email campaign to existing and potential customers.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah continues, \u201cSmall businesses are the backbone of our economy. But they need all the help they can get right now and we are aiming to give them more of a fighting chance at making their businesses thrive. SME PR in a Box allows them to employ their own PR\/marketing department in the form of our team at a fraction of what it would normally cost to have such a department in their business. And we have incorporated all the key touchpoints that make consumers stand up and notice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, more than ever, PR is a must-have for every SME communication strategy. PR shapes the image of a brand, giving it its own unique voice and face in the eyes of its target market. Effective PR comms speaks to the desired customer in language they understand and relate to, creating a personal connection between brand and consumer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are becoming more resistant to traditional selling techniques. PR is less about direct selling. It is about connecting interesting, relevant content to your brand that makes people stand up and notice.<br \/>\u201cAt its core, PR is about crafting the ongoing story of your brand in the hearts and minds of your customers, encouraging them engage with your business willingly \u2013 no coercion or convincing needed. With this approach, your brand becomes a credible choice that the customer interacts with\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Lime Envelope\u2019s SME PR in a Box solution officially launches on 01 October and is now available for any SMEs that would like to gain traction in Lockdown Level 1.<br \/>For more information, please visit the Lime Envelope\u2019s website or email bronwyn@thelime.co.za<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/the-lime-envelope-introduces-a-pr-solution-for-smes\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As lockdown restrictions ease to a greater extent under Level 1, thousands of small-to-medium businesses (SMEs) will be vying for consumers\u2019 attention.
