When was the last time you day dreamed? Did you know that day dreaming helps with creativity and innovation? It helps your brain notice new connections, to see the overlaps that we normally overlook.
I’m reading Imagine: The Science of Creativity, which is all about how the brain ‘has a creative impulse built into its operating system’. It’s about how we imagine.
You don’t have to be an artist or naturally inventive to be creative. As the book says, we tend to assume that some people are simply more creative than others, that originality is a predetermined personality trait.
However, by merely sitting in a blue room or spending time looking at the blue ocean or the sky you can double your creativity.
Productive daydreaming (where you’re not letting your mind wander so far away it gets lost) can lead to great insights. When you are struggling with seemingly impossible problems, find time to unwind.
Rather than relentlessly focusing, take a warm shower or walk on a beach. Do a little day dreaming.
As the book says, it’s not until you let yourself relax and indulge in distractions that you will discover the answer; the insight arrives only after you stop looking for it.
So maybe it's time to stop looking and start day dreaming.

How to respond to negative tweets
Responding to a negative tweet can be tricky, especially since you don’t want to escalate the problem further. So how do you respond to a negative tweet and resolve the issue quickly while still maintaining a good reputation for your business?
The worst thing you can do is to ignore the tweet or respond in a negative way. This could escalate the issue and lead to a major crisis situation if other followers join the conversation.
Here are some tips to help you respond to a negative tweet.
- Tweet a polite public reply in response to the negative tweet and offer a clear process to resolving the issue. For example you could explain the issue better or offer them a discount on their next product.
- If you are following the person who wrote the negative tweet than you can send them a polite direct message explaining in further detail how to resolve the issue or asking them to explain the issue further.
- If you’re not following the person who wrote the negative tweet then send them a public reply and start following them. Ask them to follow you back so you can then send them a direct message.
- Deal with the issue on a more personal level by asking for their contact details. Send them an email or call them on the phone. This will be easier to resolve the issue when you can write more than 140 characters.
- Remember to address the problem quickly.
- Always stay calm and do not aggravate the situation further by getting angry or responding negatively.
- You can also research the person’s profile who wrote the tweet to understand their personality. This will help you to communicate better with them and help to meet their needs.
It is important to maintain good customer service while using twitter, which means responding to complaints quickly, being helpful, treating customers with respect and always being friendly and polite.

How to use evergreen stories to your advantage
There are heaps of events that occur every year that the media will always publish stories about such as Christmas or Valentine’s Day. These stories are called evergreen stories.
Evergreen stories are kind of like ground hog day. They come around every year and from a media perspective, they remain interesting and newsworthy every year.
Journalists are always looking for a new angle for an evergreen story because they don’t want to publish the same story as last year. You can use this to your advantage and gain publicity for your business by coming up with a fresh new angle.
An example of an interesting evergreen angle is around New Years Eve when there are always hundreds of stories about New Year’s resolutions – quit smoking, get fit or get a new job. You could add a new twist to this angle such as: What are your New Year’s business resolutions and how to achieve them.
You could even write a success story about how your business achieved last year’s resolutions and the amazing result that occurred.
Read about how evergreen stories can benefit your business on our Public Relations Sydney blog.

Survey - Hospitality industry slow to adopt the internet and ecommerce
A survey of the Australian hospitality industry shows that although the boom of online, ecommerce and digital media are well on their way to being powerful business strategies, the hospitality industry is still wary of online business and ecommerce.
The survey conducted by GoHospitality.com.au of more than 850 businesses highlighted that almost a third of the respondents don’t have a website for their business and more than 52 percent do not feel the need to buy or sell any products or services online.
The survey revealed that many businesses in the hospitality industry have been reluctant to adopt an online business strategy.
The survey, however, did show an increase in interest toward the utilisation of online marketing. Although more than half of those surveyed do not use the internet to buy or sell, 82 percent stated they would begin to engage in online buying and/or selling in the future.
Additionally, while 85 percent of business owners surveyed believe that a website is important for their business, a quarter of them do not believe their customers find them online. Furthermore, more than one fifth of business owners in the hospitality industry believe they are unaffected by the internet and mobile commerce.
GoHospitality.com.au Account Manager Kylie Tabrett said, “Although there is indication of attitude changing towards the internet and digital strategies in the hospitality industry there is still very little action going on. Although the internet is the preferred source of information for the hospitality industry their actions just aren’t matching their needs.”
“There seems to be something stopping business owners in the hospitality industry from integrating more with the internet. More than half of those surveyed claimed not to shop online for hospitality products and yet 96 percent believe it’s a viable channel – it’s very contradictory,” said Ms Tabrett.
When business owners were questioned about the internet and an increase to global competition via online businesses and ecommerce:
- Just over one third did not believe the internet helped their business to compete globally in any way.
- 73 percent do not believe their business will be negatively affected by customers going online to shop with overseas suppliers.
- One fifth were unsure whether or not their website helped them to compete with global competition.
“Although businesses in the hospitality sector appear confident about global competition only 26 percent surveyed said their business can compete with overseas pricing. The majority stated they believed they could only sometimes compete,” said Ms Tabrett.
Almost 40 percent of business owners shop online from overseas businesses with 86 percent of those online shoppers claiming to have saved money.
“We see business owners in the hospitality industry shopping online because it saves them money and yet those same business owners are claiming they do not believe their customers will go the same way,” said Ms Tabrett
Australian made products were said to be much more expensive with 74 percent of the surveyed business owners stating overseas products were cheaper but when questioned on quality vs. price 57 percent were confident that their customers would opt for quality even if it meant spending more money.
However, when asked whether the business owners themselves would opt for Australian made over price just over half stated they would in fact go with the cheaper option.
Ms Tabrett said, “The flood of coupon sites offering discount deals in accommodation, dining, and entertainment are signs that the industry is responding to a competitive local market with price conscious consumers. Naturally, businesses are branching out overseas to buy cheaper supplies in order to compete and increase profitability.”
“In addition to leveraging the internet to source products for their business, it seems the hospitality industry is yet to realise the real potential of the internet as a tool to future-proof their business and build on the engagement and loyalty of each customer. Otherwise a discount will trump quality every time,” said Ms Tabrett.
Business and non-business owners in the hospitality industry were surveyed about the effects of major issues in their sector including financial, environmental issues and cost of resources.

About the survey

www.gohospitality.com.au
KEY FINDINGS FROM THE SURVEY
Online trends and buying habits
- 76 percent reported the internet to be the number one preferred source of information to support purchase decisions.
- The internet is a rich resource for hospitality professionals who claim to use the internet primarily for researching products & services (83.8 percent) – as well as finding suppliers of sought products and services (81.3 percent).
- Of the hospitality professionals surveyed (non-business owners), 48.8 percent claimed they will change their buying
habits to incorporate products from overseas. - Hospitality professionals surveyed agreed that while Australian products were more expensive (74.2 percent) – they also agreed that they were a better quality (63 percent).
- Business owners also felt confident that their customers would opt for quality (57.1 percent) over price (42.9 percent).
Search Engine Optimisation
- Of those businesses who reported having a website, more than half (51.8 percent) were confident of their SEO performance.
- 27.9 percent were certain their SEO was not good and 20.2 percent were unsure whether their SEO was good or bad.
- Results indicate a significant portion of the hospitality market has an understanding or awareness of what SEO (and Internet marketing) is.
Hospitality industry outlook on the Carbon Tax
- More than half (53.5 percent) of the hospitality industry believe carbon emissions will not be reduced as a result of the carbon tax.
- 52.5 percent of the hospitality industry claimed they would use alternative energy sources in the future due to the carbon tax.
- 91.2 percent of the hospitality industry claimed they do make an effort to reduce carbon emissions and 41.5 percent already use alternative energy sources for sustainability.
- 91.4 percent of the hospitality industry is concerned about environmental issues of which the majority worried about Water conservation and consumption, followed by climate change.
Future outlook for the hospitality industry
- While 62.1 percent of hospitality businesses felt positive about the future of the industry, the remaining 37.9 percent of businesses were either unsure (27 percent) or did not think the future of the Australian hospitality industry looked promising (10.9 percent).
- The main concern for Hospitality businesses in 2012 were reported as the Global financial crisis, followed closely by the declining retail sales in Australia.

PR Social Media news and events March
On Sunday I went to an event that kicked off a week of celebrating International Women’s Day called the F word with Germaine Greer and Naomi Wolf. These women shared their views on feminism in the global context, as well as what it means in today’s society.
Both women have formidable intellects and raised really interesting and valuable issues. Some of which I agreed with, and others I didn’t.
I was very aware of the privilege of sitting and hearing them.
As Germaine said, “In some countries feminism is a matter of life and death” quoting a situation where a woman was killed because she wore lipstick.
As an educated woman living in the western world, I do have choices. Many choices. I realised it’s how I act on those choices that makes the difference.
One of the comments made by both women got me thinking. Germaine said “I’m going to get in trouble for saying this but I’m going to say it anyway”. That’s what people love about her (and why others hate her).
On International Women’s Day this Thursday 8th March 2012 maybe it’s time for all of us to 'say something anyway'! Maybe it’s time to act in a courageous way that will help the women around you, or women in the global community.
There are so many events to celebrate International Women’s Day. Here is a list of events you might be interested in.
Join me:
International Women Day: I'm a panelist for Women as Entrepreneurs event WE WIN, Women Empowering Women In Need. It’s an awareness and charity event, a celebration of the successes of women with a focus on enabling change for women as entrepreneurs, both here and in the third world.

Step into the spotlight with PR and social media: Join me on 28 March 2012 at the Women’s Network Australia’s lunch where I’ll be talking about Stepping Into the Spotlight Using PR and Social Media – both from a business and personal perspective. Register here.
Learn how to do your own PR: My next one day workshop – PR and Media Releases that get Results – is on 30th March 2012.

How to create a media list
Do you want to generate publicity for your business with a media release? Then you need to create a media list and start pitching your release to the right journalists.
A media list documents the key media contacts in your industry that would be interested in your media release. These contacts can include journalists, producers, bloggers, freelancers and editors.
A media list allows you to create a targeted approach to the distribution of your information. By targeting the right journalists you can gain coverage in the publications that your target audience views. This means that the right audience will see your media release at the right time.
Here are some steps to creating a media list.
- Find your audience: The purpose of a media list is to gain coverage in publications that your target audience uses or views. This means that you need to write a list of all the publications, blogs and TV programs that appeal to your target audience.
- Identify contacts: Once you have a list of publications you now need to identify the appropriate contact person to send your information to. Usually the most appropriate contact is the reporter or editor who covers the topic in your media release. You can find their email address or phone number on their publication’s website or call the publication directly. Try to avoid sending your media release to the email address for general enquires or “editor@” because it usually will not reach the right contact person in that publication.
- Create a Database: Organise your media list into a database such as excel document, with separate columns for the name of the publication, the contact person, their job title, email address and phone number.
- Categorise your list: You should categorise your list into different sections for each media outlet. For example you could create a section for all your newspaper contacts and another section for all your magazine contacts.
- Update your list regularly: Media professionals often change their career or areas of expertise, which means you should constantly update your media list. Remember to update your list if your contact person changes or if you find new contacts.

Why your business should start pinning on Pinterest
Have you heard the saying a picture paints a thousand words? Well your business can do just that on Pinterest.
Pinterest is a new social media site where you can create online bulletin boards and ‘pin’ your favourite images to it.
You can create a variety of bulletin boards in any category imaginable. Your followers can then view your images, like them, add a comment and re-pin them to their own boards. Each image represents a link to its original website, which makes sharing images and websites easy.
It isn’t a broadcast mechanism and doesn’t encourage product pushing, so you need to be creative and take a different approach to Twitter and Facebook.
The images on Pinterest can quickly convey their messages to the audience with just a glance, instead of users reading through long lists of text on Twitter and Facebook.
There are also a number of sharing options. Each image can be shared on Facebook and Twitter, you can embed it so the pin can be shared on blogs and external sites (which is great for link building) and the URL can be shared via email.
Read how Pinterest can benefit your business on our Public Relations Sydney blog.

If creating your own media list sounds too hard then you can get help from an online media guide such as Margaret Gee’s Australian Media Guide. These sites provide an online database of contact information for media professionals.
Another alternative is to hire a PR agency because they have an extensive list of media contacts and know how to create a perfect media list.
Once you have created your media list you can start contacting journalists to gain coverage in the most appropriate media that will reach your target audience.
