12 expert guides to PR measurement- Your PR measurement is important, it's like your car's dashboard, alerting you when you're driving too fast or need to check your oil. But how can you determine which PR indicators are crucial to your overall strategy?
Seth Godin, entrepreneur and marketer extraordinaire, says:"People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories, and magic."
For many, the problem is that goods and services are easily quantifiable. But how can you evaluate the effectiveness of public relations? How do you measure the success of creating relationships or the reception of your stories? How do you dissect "magic?"
