Cherry Communications Offers Free PR & Marketing Advice

New website lets visitors "Ask the Experts" and receive free PR/Marketing advice.

(PRWEB) January 12, 2003

Marketing communications is a unique skill – one that everyone has to develop, whether looking for a job or publicizing an event or organization. Whatever the reason, a case needs to be made. A voice needs to be heard. Others need to understand a particular point of view.

Yet, many worthwhile causes and businesses have failed because they were not able to broadcast their message effectively – or because their competitors were better at it.

To help business managers and nonprofit leaders avoid common mistakes, Cherry Communications is offering free advice on public relations and marketing. By going to the website at http://www.cherrycommunications.com, anyone can post a question and the staff at Cherry Communications will provide an answer.

“When people turn to public relations and marketing to increase their revenue or to improve their professional image, they often don’t know where to start. Others may want a second opinion to check if their own ideas are on track,” says Shannon Cherry, APR, president of Cherry Communications. “Websites and books are a great resources, but sometimes you need a specialist for your question – and that’s where our ‘Ask the Experts’ service comes in. We will provide a usable answer, for free, without a sales pitch.”

All questions will be answered by the leadership of Cherry Communications: Shannon and Matt Cherry.
