Survey Data Highlights Untapped Demand for Media Relations Among Small Business Owners

"There's a gap between small business owners who want media coverage and those who actually pursue it. The barriers have typically been cost, complexity, and not knowing where to start," said John Watson of TheBuzzBlast.
New data from https://TheBuzzBlast.com, a press release distribution platform, indicates that 99% of small business clients surveyed had never issued a press release before their first campaign. The analysis also found that first-time users subsequently pursued additional media outreach.
Small Business PR Adoption Remains Low
While larger companies routinely invest in media relations, smaller operators have historically faced obstacles including agency fees, complex processes, and limited media contacts. Many entrepreneurs report uncertainty about how to craft a press release or where to distribute it.
Small businesses account for 99.9% of all U.S. businesses and employ nearly half of the American workforce, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. Industry observers note that tools and strategies common among larger brands have remained less accessible to this segment.

Earned Media and Business Credibility
Marketing research has shown that earned media - coverage that is not paid advertising - carries weight with consumers. A feature in a news outlet or industry publication provides third-party validation. For small businesses, this credibility can support customer acquisition efforts.
Industry Trends
The findings align with broader trends showing small business owners exploring alternatives to digital advertising. With costs rising on major platforms, earned media represents an additional channel for building visibility.
Traditional PR agencies often require monthly retainers, which can put professional media relations outside the budget of many small operations. Newer platforms have emerged offering services at varied price points.
