MEDIA
KITS
In today's digital age, some companies overlook the importance of a media kit, assuming all necessary information is available on their website. However, a media kit serves a specific purpose that extends beyond what a website can provide.
A media kit is a comprehensive packet of information about your company. Traditionally, it is sent to journalists to encourage promotion, but it can also be shared with current and potential clients. By adapting a media kit into a "Look Book," you can enhance its informativeness and versatility. While media kits often consist of printed materials, they can also be digitized into a PDF.
Let's explore the essential components of a media kit and understand why it is crucial for your business.
What’s in a Media Kit
Media kits vary widely, but they might include any of the following:
-
Contact details for company employees.
-
Information about your company’s products and services.
-
Information about your company’s history and mission.
-
Images including your company's logo.
-
Testimonials from clients.
-
Reports of your company’s sales and statistics.
-
Frequently asked questions and answers.
-
Lists of notable clients.
The Importance of Having a Media Kit
It Gives You Control
If you don’t provide adequate information about your company, reporters and clients will come up with their own assumptions about it.
A media kit gives you the opportunity to present yourself as you want to be seen. It also gives your audience a detailed description of
exactly what you offer. It allows you to control the message.
It Saves Time
When you take on a new client, he or she will likely have lots of questions about your products or services.
Rather than spending hours answering questions, you can present all your company's information through your media kit.
It Helps You Promote a Specific Product or Event
If you’re holding a public event or launching a new product, you want to get that information out to the media.
By sending journalists a media kit, they’ll have all the information they need to write an article or advertisement.
It Promotes the Launch of a New Company
If you’re just starting your company or small business you'll want to let people know what you’re all about.
Sending your media kit is a simple way to give your future clients all the facts they need to know about the products or services you offer.
It Explains Company Processes
A detailed, step-by-step process of how you help clients may be overwhelming in a website setting, where people just want to browse different
pages. In a media kit for a new client, this explanation is essential.
It Helps You Bring On More Customers
Perhaps the most important reason behind having a media kit is that it can attract new customers.
The information from your media kit can attract attention from potential customers who wouldn’t otherwise hear about your business.
It Increases Client Confidence
Thorough information in a media kit gives customers confidence that you’re experienced and you know how to take care of them.
