Movies are getting more expensive and before we plunk down $9 for a ticket, and perhaps spend an additional $15 - $20 on popcorn and sodas, most of us first look to see what the critics have to say about the movie we're planning to see.

In some cases the review will sway you, and in other cases it doesn't and we know that - even when reading the reviews.

Public Relations officers handle the communications between a company or organisation and the outside world. They are tasked with gaining positive exposure for the company and their products or services, and this is the key way in which their job can have a sizeable impact on the financial future of the company or organisation.

When you think about the word "embroidery", images of old ladies sitting with a blanket over their legs and embroidering their favourite pattern on a doyly or place mat come to mind. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. In the 21st century embroidery services are in great demand offering to sporting organisations and businesses the opportunity to have a favourite logo put onto a T-shirt, jacket, cap, work uniform, pants, shorts, skirts, bags, blankets, towels, robes and so on.

Commercials used to be the time to get up and stretch the ol' legs, get a snack or let the dog out. Today, they are the signal to hit the fast forward button on the remote.

I had an interesting phone call yesterday that got me thinking about people's understanding on the subject of PR-or should I say their misunderstanding. The caller was a prospective client-a very savvy businesswoman-who asked if my firm can send out a press release for a new product they're getting ready to launch.

Knowing how ineffective press releases are, I asked (a little bit tongue-in-cheek) what she expected would happen from sending out a press release, and to whom would she like it sent? She said she wasn't sure and just knew when companies launch a product - they're supposed to send out a press release!

After the call I realized this actually comes up quite often on sales calls - the idea that if a press release is written and sent somewhere, something "magical" will happen.

While there is no bat or ball in Public Relations. There are some similarities between PR and the game of baseball. The goal here is to score more points (PR) than the other "team", your competitors. Points in the form of free publicity of course.

A "pitch" that's not hit into the right field of play (targeted media) can be considered a strike.
