Some writings resonate
We’ve heard every reason and excuse in the book for salon professionals not becoming successful with their own PR.
“I can’t afford monthly PR agency fees“, or, “I can’t afford multi-month commitments right now“. Those two have always been among the biggies. Well we’ve solved that one for you. Check out PR [...]

Pay Day Yesterday!
Like the “Starfish story” … we know we have done something important.
We all work hard. You, in the salon behind the chair, and we, in our BeautyPRpro and Esche & Alexander PR roles. We do what we do … over and over.

Just talk … It’s upsetting.
… and it always makes us sad.
The wishers … the dreamers …. the pretenders … the talkers …. so very few actual starters.
So many stylists talk a good game. They talk about about stepping out from the crowd. They talk about what they are going to do for [...]

But before you can focus your ‘public relations’ on others you need to shape and cultivate your story for yourself and be able to tell it effectively. That means you need to envision ‘yourself’ clearly. Then, and only then, can [...]

Today was unusual.
We got a hand-written card in the mail.
It stood out in the pile like a sore thumb. Hand-written, imagine that. Different … That took time.

Why Have Over a Million People Watched This Video on YouTube?
It was shot at the Sasquatch Music Festival this year. Either you get it, or you don’t. Either you will do something with it … or you won’t. As always … the ball’s in your court.
