Would you love to get some press coverage for your pet business but when you try to think of a story idea you draw a blank?

You know what it is you do, how you help your customers and the transformation your services might bring.

With your products, it’s always so lovely to get positive feedback and of course, see pets looking dapper in your creations.

But when it comes to putting pen to paper and writing about YOU -   you freeze.

I know this from experience. Even though I've been a journalist since 1999, I’ve always written about other people, not me!

So when the tables were turned and I had to write my story, I found it really tricky.

One way I have found helps people when they’re struggling to share the personal story behind their pet business is to think of three different ‘moments.'

I'm sharing them in this podcast episode and I hope it helps spark ideas for your pet business.
