Building credibility is an essential component of keeping clients. Where there is trust, there is a growing and sustainable relationship. Hiring public relations professionals is a natural solution if you find yourself often communicating with businesses, the government, or the public on a regular basis.
When you establish credibility, your clients, customers, and peers respect you, vouch for you, and continue to use your business because they feel connected to what you say, do, and stand for.
But how does one establish credibility?
Demonstrate integrity
Often, this comes in the form of transparency. Be honest about how you run your company, create your products, and treat those around you. This may be hard to articulate or demonstrate. At Aguilar PR, we often help clients demonstrate integrity by helping them prepare for situations before they occur, and also help them find opportunities online, in print, and in their communities that show the values of the company. This is often done through media relations, public affairs and outreach, philanthropy, and even trade shows.
Be consistent
Just showing up once for a press conference or public event, and then disappearing doesn’t work. Like any relationship, you have to consistently be there for people. In everything you do, you need to incorporate the values that you are exhibiting. This requires a brand strategy. At Aguilar PR we can help you define your brand and use your brand identity and strategy consistently in media relations to boost your credibility.
Brag a little.
It’s okay to brag a little. You are an expert in your field, and you need to own that. At Aguilar PR, we can help you identify your strengths and unique capabilities through brand strategy and marketing. After defining those qualities, we can help you push those out through all sectors of your business, helping you gain respect as a thought leader and innovator in your field.
