Here’ s a list of tools you can use to get publicity on the cheap:
1. Help a Reporter: Free leads from reporters who are looking for sources for stories.
2. Contact any Celebrity:One week’ s trial for $1 provides you with contact information for celebrities. If you send your product to a celebrity and he or she likes it, you can use that celebrity’s comments as a testimonial on your website, in a press release, etc., to drive sales.
3. The Gift List: Free trial of a media contact database for consumer product companies; this link will also give you a 15 percent discount should you decide to get a subscription.
4. Contacts on Tap: Free 15-day trial of a media contact database.
