PT. The hour-long session will focus on PR for the dietary supplement industry, including crisis communication and best practices for effectively responding to and communicating with the media.
Carnett’s presentation will review how best to navigate internal and external communications to best market products with honesty and transparency. She will educate listeners about communicating with the media as a retailer or supplement manufacturer even throughout a crisis, integrating social media into crisis communication protocols, and organizing a post-crisis plan.
Kapperman will bring an insider perspective from the media’s standpoint. She will discuss how retailers can serve as a resource to local media and how to best cultivate relationships with the press.
“As news becomes readily available, it is more important than ever to understand the associated risks and benefits of real-time crisis communication,” said Carnett. “In this webinar, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about how to identify crisis communication vulnerabilities, and manage their strengths, to effectively harness the power of social media and internal and external communications.”
