interview for newspaper

[Johnny]

I am being interviewed by a reporter for a local paper.  One question she has for me is: What can I include in the articile that may promote your business or entice the reader to call?  Any suggestions are greatly appriciated!

Stephanie,How about something like - a certain $ amount or perceneforum.xxxe off for the first 10 (or # of your choice) people to schedule an appointment saying that they got your name from the local paper.I just read an article where the author added at the very last line - "The first 10 people to email me will get a free consultation".  It worked.  I emailed him as fast as I could.Good Luck & Congrats.

Kind of a funny story:My friend was interviewed for City Business, a local free paper here in the city.  She had a nice discussion with the interviewer, and went off-topic a few times, talking about how the practice must have been meant to be, and how much of what she had in her office was free or found on the roadside.  She like to have DIED when she read the article, and the interviewer QUOTED her saying how she found her furniture on the side of the road...LOL!  Every client she has had that came in as a result of that article has commented, "Oh; it doesn't LOOK like you found your furniture on the side of the road."  LOL...The advice here is to know what to keep to yourself.  I wouldn't divulge anything you don't want in print.  Depending on what the objective of the interview is, good things to mention are how you got started in your business, what your services are, your special qualifications and knowledge that sets you apart from other therapists, your hours of operation, etc.  I would not discuss prices at all.  If you are aware that photographs might be taken, get your office in ship-shape and look your very best.  Hope this helps...  Good Luck!

I bought much of what I have in my office right off of Ebay.... at some tremendous savings! My couch came from the thrift store, but you'd never know it.  It was brand new.One more thing you could mention in your interview is any community service you've done, and perhaps see if one of your most loyal clients would offer to talk you up either by allowing the interviewer to call or submitting a testimonial in writing.
