NEW YORK, July 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Small business owners are continually looking for low-cost PR strategies to promote their business and broaden their networks. In order to generate effective PR on a limited budget, you have to get certain things right. Here are tips on do-it-yourself PR that any small business can follow to achieve success:

• Storytelling. Tell the story of how your brand came to be, why it exists and how it has evolved. Consider including customer stories of their experience with your company in order to give the audience a way to emotionally connect with your brand.
• Influencer networking. If you're actively keeping up with the top influencers within your industry, why not consider networking with them? This is an authentic and trustworthy way to build a name for your brand while building relationships with key influencers.
• Perfect your product before pitching. Don't make the mistake of promoting a product that isn't ready for the market quite yet. Before pitching the media, look into organizing focus groups that can provide you feedback on your products that can help to improve the quality.
