Professional Tool
(January 13, 2004) -
There are few tasks that are more onerous than the development of a basic
press list and events calendar. Yet, the very budget of the vendor Marketing
Department depends of having timely and accurate data in this area. Seasoned
marketing professionals hate the raw data collection (lots of phone calls and
return phone calls) while junior people are rarely any good at it. As a result,
the core marketing database is often in disarray and needs to be reassembled,
from scratch, for each new product launch, revision, event or budget.
There is a professional level tool
available.
HRMarketer,
is an HR marketplace tool for marketers. It combines
rigorously updated press lists, editorial calendars, event calendars and
searchable press releases into a genuine weapon for marketing in our industry.
HRMarketer
allows a company to develop a detailed plan to position the company
in the eyes of the editorial community that ultimately determines fate.
We've spent some time evaluating the product and
believe that it will save money and improve results for marketing departments in
the industry. Their customer service people helpfully suggested that we narrow
the distribution list for a press release in order to save our brand integrity.
The company clearly stands for effectiveness over volume. Try it out.
