Nashville Bride Guide

When I was 7 years old it was just a game. I rented out rollerblades to the neighborhood kids to skate around my family's unfinished basement. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of my creative business spark. And now, over a decade later, I own a small business in Nashville helping brides plan their weddings. I'd like to say I've learned some things along the way...--Anyone can style and design. I stay ahead of the curve.--Ideas are always floating around, but they are nothing without execution.--I speak fluent shape and color. --I know how to get stuff done AND have fun. Balance is key. Hard work is non-negotiable.--I wear customer service on my sleeve.--I am equally creative as I am business-minded. --Same team.*I love making new professional connections in the design/marketing/event industry. Whether you'd like to talk business or about the newest issue of Kinfolk Magazine, feel free to shoot me an email.*Specialties: Event Planning & Styling, Branding, Marketing, Designing, Social Media, Sales, Weddings, Buying, Advertising, Organizing, Event Design, Home Design, Photo Shoot Styling, Fashion.

We’ve distilled best practices from hundreds of press releases to guide you. You'll learn strategic timing for contacting fashion journalists, crafting stories that shimmer, and the nuances of pitching with style and respect, all aimed at ensuring your fashion campaign shines.

Utilizing PressContact's media list, which includes detailed email addresses and journalist profiles, can give you an edge by providing an affordable solution that is over 300% cheaper than other major media list providers. Here’s how to maximize its potential:

  • Seasonal Collections: Launches of new seasonal collections are prime times for contacting fashion journalists. Ensure you provide them with high-quality images and detailed descriptions to aid their coverage.
  • Collaborations and Partnerships: If you’re announcing a collaboration with a celebrity or another brand, use our list to ensure the news reaches the right journalists who focus on these trends.

By leveraging our comprehensive and affordable media list, you can ensure your fashion-related news gets timely and relevant exposure.

Writing press releases for Fashion coverage

Writing press releases for the fashion industry requires an understanding of the aesthetic and dynamic nature of fashion. Here are some key strategies:

  • Visual Appeal: Start with visually striking elements. Include high-resolution images, videos, and lookbooks that showcase your fashion line.
  • Storytelling: Fashion is about stories. Whether it's the inspiration behind your collection or the journey of your brand, craft a narrative that captures the imagination of fashion journalists and their readers.
  • Detail-Oriented: Provide detailed descriptions of fabrics, designs, and unique features. This helps journalists write more comprehensive and engaging pieces.
  • Quotes from Designers: Include quotes from designers or fashion influencers to add authenticity and a personal touch to your press release.

These elements will make your press release stand out and attract the attention of fashion journalists looking for fresh and engaging content.

Pitching Etiquette to Fashion journalists

The etiquette for pitching to fashion journalists can make or break your PR efforts. From my extensive experience in PR, here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Personalized Pitches: Address journalists by name and reference their previous work. Show them that you’ve done your homework and understand their style and interests.
  • Be Visual: Fashion is a highly visual industry. Ensure your pitch includes high-quality images or videos that journalists can easily use in their stories.
  • Follow Trends: Stay updated on current fashion trends and tailor your pitches to fit within these trends. This shows journalists that your content is relevant and timely.
  • Respect Deadlines: Fashion journalists often work on tight schedules, especially around fashion weeks and major events. Be mindful of their deadlines and provide them with all the necessary materials promptly.

Following these etiquette tips will help you build strong relationships with fashion journalists and increase the chances of your pitches being well-received and covered.
