Every day thousands of special events and occasions are
promoted through the press and social media in the US. But
all may not be considered noteworthy or as important as
National Emergency Medical Services. Below are some tips
for promoting your EMS week activities

1. Draft a press release – It should
include who, what, where, why and
how. If you have never written a press
release, you can find loads of sample
press releases on the internet.
2. Write a media advisory, if you are
doing a media event. Also include
date, time, special guests, location,
parking, contacts and “visuals.”
3. Create a media list – Ask your
chamber of commerce or your city
government offices for the latest PR
agencies list. Watch local television,
listen to the radio and read
newspapers to find reporters who you
think might like the
story.

EMS Week in advance – usually 6
– 8 weeks in advance for
newspapers, 3 months for
magazines and 1-2 weeks for TV
and radio.

your event and ask your family
and friends to “like it.” Facebook

celebrity ask them to help
promote the week by speaking
to local media or making guest

this week means and why people

where people gather such as a
city hall and a library.

at a local farmer’s market,
shopping center or wherever
