Are you trying to build buzz, but don’t have the cash to launch a full-fledged PR campaign? I emphasize that the best PR you can build is through satisfied customers with high Net Promoter scores. In other words, you should focus first on a great product/service, and only after you’ve achieved that worry about PR.
