Because each client is different, we offer consultations designed to help provide our clients with strategies and services that are tailored to their specific venture. We will work with a client to create custom campaigns that meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
Whether you are interested in using one of our many public relations programs or you prefer to use our services on an as-needed basis, we will work with you to get measurable results.
Pugliese Public Relations offers a variety of programs and flexible pricing plans to suit our client’s needs and budgets.
Pricing Options
Price List (Pay-as-you-go)
This is the easiest and most flexible solution for individual projects such as editing, copywriting, and news releases. It is a service that focuses on effective public relations for short-term or one-time projects. It is affordable public relations on an as-needed basis and is a good choice for projects such as brochures or news releases. We do not recommend our pay-as-you-go plan for ongoing public relations activity, as it will not deliver the sustained level necessary for the best results. It is exactly what it says it is—a flexible service that provides you with just what you need without committing you to ongoing expenses. So, whatever you need, just tell us and we will work with you to ensure that you get it. The benefits of the Price List option are that there is a fixed cost, no hidden charges, and it is easy and convenient.
You can use our Price List option if you are a small business and want a short-term boost, if you are not sure if public relations will work for you and want to try it out, if you want to vary your expenses in line with your need, or if you want to make a splash with one project at a time.
Subscription Program
Our Subscription Program is similar to the retainer concept but the rates are much lower. You buy a specified list of options from us on a regular basis. This choice is the best solution for start-ups or low-volume users. With this plan, you have the confidence of knowing you have public relations backup if you need it, without the commitment to a high monthly retainer. Our Subscription Program can be used when you already know that public relations works, when you know you need a longer-term public relations campaign to generate an ongoing level of coverage, or when you want to set your budget in advance. Contact us for more information on our Public Relations Subscription Program.
Public Relations Coaching Program
If you are the owner of a small or growing business, our public relations Coaching Program may be just the thing for you. It effectively banishes the need for an outside public relations agency by bringing you up to speed on everything you need to know about public relations—and supports and motivates you or your team as you carry it out.
There’s no minimum or maximum monthly limit on our coaching. Some clients only need a few months to be up and away—other clients we’ve had for many years and they now look upon us as a vital part of their PR activity in their own small and growing businesses.
Taking the form of monthly public relations strategy sessions (which can take place via Zoom or phone), plus unlimited e-mail support in between, our small business public relations coaching means that without ever leaving your own office or home, you will learn how to plan and carry out your own public relations and marketing campaigns. You will have an experienced expert public relations coach who can brainstorm ideas with you, suggest angles that you might never have come up with, and keep you informed of any media opportunities that will get your business fantastic media coverage. Contact us for more information on our Public Relations Coaching Program.
Counseling Retainer Packages (Fixed Fee Retainer)
If you need regular counseling or public relations work done on a monthly basis, you can take advantage of discounted hourly rates based on a monthly retainer fee (only a limited number of clients are placed on retainer at any given time).
You can sign up for public relations counseling retainers for your public relations planning, strategy, and evaluation needs, to help improve your image and reputation, deal with crisis communications, raise awareness, handle your media relations strategy, and more.
This is the most cost-effective plan for sustained campaigns and fixed-term projects. We will agree with you in advance the activities we will undertake on your behalf. The cost of the program is then split across 3, 6 or 12 months and billed monthly.
With a fixed-fee retainer, our services are available at no additional cost within the scope of the agreed activities. Any additional work, such as photography, site visits and printing are added to the monthly bill, subject to your prior approval.
The fixed-fee retainer is by far our most popular option as it allows us to work pro-actively and to respond quickly to media opportunities as they arise without affecting the agreed public relations budget. This is the ideal plan for sustained activity. Contact us for more information on our public relations Counseling Retainer Packages.
