Mark your calendars, small business owners! We have scheduled the next #NetSol tweet chat on October 28th from 1-2:30 pm EST with public relations professional, Shonali Burke and Washington Business Journal reporter, Jennifer Nycz-Conner to help you formulate a plan to engage the media and truly make your small business story stand out.

With your plate stacked high with the responsibilities of running a successful small business, it’s hard to find time to create a public relations plan. Just the idea of media relations seems daunting. But imagine seeing your small business in blogs, newspapers and magazines. That big news story featuring your company can drive foot traffic, web traffic and increase sales. The abundance of social media and online outlets only make it easier to see your company’s name in the headlines.
Shonali Burke is award-winning communications consultant and sought-after speaker based in the Washington, D.C., metro area with a national reach and international network. PRWeek, the top public relations trade publication, named her to their inaugural top 40 under 40 list.
Jennifer Nycz-Conner is a reporter and blogger for the Washington Business Journal. In the “Business Smarts” section, she covers strategies for running a small business better, and on the “Back Page” she covers events.
