Susan Andersen Makes News... Good News

Press and Media Information

Some of you, especially our Iowa chandlers, may know that last week was Soybean Week In Iowa. Showing the creative and energetic enthusiasm that she brings to her business and her life, Susan Andersen squeaked and the wheel was greased... and she made good news in the process!

Check out the press release, 'Susan Andersen Of Silver City Attends First Continental Congress Of The Chandler Guild'.

We developed this press release by working with Susan in support of her local media campaign. Susan knew she could publicize her soy wax candle business and the Chandler Guild during the heightened interest in soy during Iowa's weeklong celebration of the bean.

The press release was developed and released by the Sohodojo independent, non-profit R&D lab as part of our support in the development of the Chandler Guild. Also, we don't yet have a formal process or SIG team to officially develop and distribute press releases on behalf of the Guild. (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink... anyone interested in helping to make this happen?)

This press release is a good 'working model' of how delegates who attended the Congress can turn their participation in the Congress into good news in your town.

Congratulations, Susan.

GREAT JOB!

Susan,
Good for you! Keep it up the good work!

re: Great Job

Carol ~ Thank you for your kind words (as usual), but the thanks really goes to Jim Salmons who jumped very high when I only asked him to jump. He did an awesome job with very little notice when I told him the local newspaper had contacted me for something to print since it was Iowa Soybean Week.

I thank you, Jim, for your excellent and prompt work in allowing me to get this to the paper before the deadline.

Best Wishes to all of you chandlers ~

PS - I hope you're feeling better!

Congratulations Susan!

Finally, some good news to celebrate! Good for you Susan!

Re: Congratulations

Hi Gwen ~

I hope your fundraiser is going tremendously. I'm sure it is as my candle sales have gone crazy since the cool weather snap.

I am sure it will be pretty simple to replace my name and picture with all the other founding members' information so everyone will have something to submit to their local paper. (Jim - if this creates too much work for you, please let me know so I can help.)

Take care~!

Not a problem... the first one is the most work!

Hey Susan, Gwen and everybody,

That's exactly the idea. For folks that we already have photos for (like from the Congress), we can 'photo enhance' press releases easily. If folks have a digital photo they can send to us, we can tweak it, upload it and include in a release.

I'll post a short 'How To' with ideas about how others can get their press releases rolling. In the meantime, any squeaky wheel with a good idea is likely to get greased! ;-)
