Get the most out of every bit of publicity

The 11am news on Radio 2 talked about a stunt at the York or Edinburgh Dungeons, where anyone with an ASBO can get in free this weekend, and will be “given” the medieval sentence for their crime in a mocked-up court.

Brilliant stunt. Very few people will take it up, but that’s not the point. To get national radio like that ahead of a bank holiday weekend should drive a lot of paying customers their way.

One criticism – there’s nothing on The Dungeons’ own website about this. I found a few stories on Google News, but wanted to see the original press release, or at least a news article.

Whenever you do any piece of publicity, make sure there is a copy on your website. Apart from the fact fresh content is great for search engines, some people who hear a story about your business will want to find out more by going straight to the source – you!
