There we’ve said it!

As we anxiously anticipate the arrival of summer, we’re all seeking ways to look our best from head to toe. We spend countless hours and dollars prepping our feet with pedicures, exercising at the gym to improve muscle tone and purchasing every product under the sun (no pun intended) that promises UV ray protection, fighting wrinkles and improving dark spots. There are some areas however, specifically the neck and face, that propose more of a challenge to tone and tighten.

Achieving lifted, toned, and tightened skin is now easily accessible, with no surgery required, and it can all be done within 30-60 minutes with Ultherapy. This procedure can be performed in the office and patients can resume their normal daily activities right afterwards. Believe us when we say that this is perfection at its finest.

On May 23^rd, the Peer Group is hosting a fabulous Ultherapy event at 124 Columbia Turnpike in Florham Park, New Jersey. The event will be held from 6:30 PM- 8:30 PM.  The professionals at Peer Group will be available to answer all questions and concerns that you might have about the procedure. They will also be performing a live demonstration of Ultherapy.

There will be light refreshments and the opportunity to take advantage of exclusive discounts that will be offered at the event.  If you sign up on the day of the event, you will save $200 off Botox (if you are a candidate at a visit after your treatment) or you can also schedule your Ultherapy procedure and save $100 off that, while simultaneously receiving a SkinMedia Vitalize Peel and TNS Essential Sun peel. This package equates to a savings of over $535!

This is the perfect chance to learn more and ask about this procedure that is sweeping across America. Make it a date with a friend and if you both sign up, you’ll double your savings. Take advantage of such a great event!

Place educational articles on credible, well-trafficked blogs, and magazines.

As PR practitioners we are used to the traditional byline article which is an opinion piece that is published in a print magazine or trade publication. But in order to keep up with the times and to keep your clients business relevant incorporate some inbound marketing  by writing up an educational or entertaining piece that would be published online. Show your audience that you are an expert in what you are writing about through a blog post or an article posted on a media site or magazine that relates to your subject!

Enhance your press releases for search (SEO).

A similarity between public relations and inbound marketing is helping your clients be found.  And another inbound marketing strategy that will help your consumers find your clients in a heartbeat is by attaching popular keywords that is related to your topic on your content. All you have to do is Google “keyword research tool” and use the free Google AdWords tool. Simply enter words that are related to your topic from your press release or blog and it will identify the top keyword phrases to tag into your content!

Recycle Your Work for more than one task!

A third inbound marketing strategy will help create maximum visibility for you by re-using previous content for other PR efforts. If there is any way you can redirect your content in different ways while making it easily sharable will help your visibility over time and maximize readership by using social media. For example if your writing a case study take some time and turn it into a captivating blog post for a trade publication and a white paper for the website, then send out links to both via social media!

Share clients content with other businesses that share the same interest

If you find that your clients blog content is going unnoticed or there is no buzz being generated about it then it’s time to take action. Another smart initiative inbound marketing offers is search for other blogs or articles on the web that are similar to your clients, then post a comment on these blogs with the hyperlink linking back to your clients blogs post! It will help generate traffic to your clients website and blog creating more awareness to the public! In the end all PR practitioners are trying to improve their results with less time and that is why it is important to get full use out of every resource!
