TIPS & TRICKS

8 Quick & Easy Tips to Use Social Media for Your Business: The Internet has been with us for over a decade, yet there are still many business owners who have not embraced social media platforms as part of their company’s PR strategy. Some may use sites like Facebook and Google+ for personal reasons, but when it comes to their business, a solid presence just isn’t there. The bad news is that if you are a business owner and have been avoiding or unable to get on board with today’s social media tools, you’re missing out on tons of exposure, potential new customers, clients and revenue. The good news is that this situation is easily remedied, and you could be enjoying a robust presence by the end of the week, if not today! See 8 quick & easy tips on our blog.

Use These 10 Insider Tips and Techniques to Avoid Common Press Release Mistakes: Although the method by which we deliver press releases to the media has changed -mostly they are sent in the body of an email and occasionally by fax, but no longer by snail mail- guidelines for producing the best press releases have not changed. Avoid common press release mistakes! The team at Three Girls Media & Marketing wants your news to be noticed, promoted and sent virally to your audience. Follow these insider tips to write a perfect press release that will do its job for you right, the first time!

1. Use Proper Formatting. It is critical to represent yourself professionally, starting with the actual press release presentation.

7 Writing Tips to Help You Stay on Message: In business, words matter. We write to tell a story, to make a point or to engage a reader. But it’s easy to fall into the trap of over-writing – filling space with unnecessary words when most of the time, less is more. Whether you are marketing your company, utilizing social media or communicating with clients, here are a few tips to keep your business writing clear and concise:

1. Use simpler words when they’ll do the job. Don’t use “inculpate” if you really mean “blame.” The University of Wisconsin’s writing center calls this Inflated Diction. I just call it big words!
2. Drop the prepositional phrases. Instead of “It was the idea of my client,” write “It was my client’s idea.” That makes the sentence clear and easy to understand.

3 Cheers for Erika!  Three Girls is pleased to announce that Erika was selected by the YWCA’s TWIN Honoree Selection Committee to receive a 2011 TWIN Award. Her outstanding achievements qualify her to join a select group of women who have previously been honored with this honor.

The Tribute to Women Awards Program, one of the nation’s most prestigious awards given by the local and regional YWCA’s, recognizes successful women executives for their outstanding achievements. It is an important and well-known event demonstrating the esteem in which companies hold their women executives. This award program was established in Santa Clara Valley 25 years ago, and participants represent most of the major companies in the Bay Area.  Each year, Honorees receive a Tribute to Women award at a gala dinner event attended by Silicon Valley CEOs, dignitaries, Honorees and their families.

As one of the primary fundraisers of the YWCA, the Tribute to Women Awards Program generates funds that support the YWCA’s programs. Over 15,000 people receive services every year from the YWCA in the areas of Intervention and Prevention Services, Childcare and Economic Development.
