	If your business already has an established promotional program, Planting Stories can be an extra hand on deck or a foot in a new territory. If you're a younger or smaller business for whom media promotion perhaps sounds like a luxury you can't afford, think again. A little money spent wisely can have a big impact. You can commission as much or as little work as you like to suit your budget and requirements and let the world - or the part of it you're interested in - know all about you!

What's it all about?

How much does it cost?

Getting to grips with all the opportunities available to promote your business and its products can be a daunting task. If the choice of publicity methods doesn't overwhelm you, the jargon you encounter along the way might!

After all, your expertise is with your own products and clients, so why would you want to take on an entirely different skill set? Thanks to Planting Stories, you don't have to.

From writing your sales materials to making sure your press releases reach the right people, from planning an efficient promotion strategy to spending your advertising budget wisely, Planting Stories is here to optimise your marketing efforts right through the supply chain. Leaving you to get on with running your business.

Ah, the six million Dollar question. As much as I'd enjoy retiring on a project worth that amount, you can get plenty of worthwhile attention without having such deep pockets!

Quite simply, the cost of your promotion depends on how much time I spend working on it plus any associated costs such as printing or advertising. And in order to know how much that's all going to be, we need to discuss your requirements.

There is a solution for every budget - but before you start you do need to have an idea of what that budget is and what you hope to achieve with it.

Low budget	Medium Budget	Money no object
If you are operating on a very limited budget, then our first task is to prioritise your spending. It costs you nothing to drop me a line to find out what I recommend as your best course of action. All you need to know is how much you are prepared to spend and what you ultimately hope to achieve. I'll give you the first 45 minutes of my time for free, and if you want a more detailed plan then that's an optional paid-for service. If you're looking for a low cost route for getting your press information distributed to the media, then use Garden Press Info. And if you need some help with writing an attention-grabbling entry, just ask me.	If you consider your promotional budget to be 'medium', then my guess is that you feel promotion is important but you have to keep a careful check on spending. Get in touch to let me know what your goals are and how much your 'medium' budget is and we can discuss your options. It may be that you are equipped to carry out many tasks yourself but can use some expert help in certain areas. For all budgets, Garden Press Info offers the cheapest route for distributing press information and sits perfectly alongside a more dedicated campaign.	Just curious? I've never yet met anybody in the horticulture business who would lay claim to this! But seriously, if you want to have your promotional interests looked after by experienced industry professional, then I offer an enthusiastic attitude, a hard-working ethic and a reliable pair of hands for all of the services described. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
