Topic: Sizzling Summer Story Ideas

Don’t labor over pitching your Labor Day story angles. Now’s the time to capitalize on end of summer story opportunities. How? The following are story topics the media is bound to cover in the next month:

-End of Summer Grilling Stories – Develop a grilling recipe utilizing your food product; or partner with a brand of grill so you can add more "arms-and-legs" to the story. -Labor Day Party Planning – Identify a party planning expert who can incorporate your products into their interviews; or better yet, make yourself the expert! -Back-to-School – What are the hottest fashions? What supplies do kids need? What are the latest trends in back to school gear? How do you pack healthy lunches? -Pet Safety – What are dangers to your pets during holidays like Labor Day? Heat? Lack of water? Remember that even the four-legged member of the family is a good story angle! -Travel – Where do people go this time of year? What are the best products to bring? Where do people find travel bargains?

No matter what industry you’re in, keep in mind that reporters will be covering end of summer and early fall trends. Be creative in your pitch. The opportunities are endless!
