The biggest reason local experts don’t get on the air is … drumroll please …
“Their topics aren’t topical to listeners.”
The easiest way to address this is by going through this list of hot topics that need experts for September. I picked out a few topics and ideas that I feel would be great interviews this month!
SEPTEMBER IS:
Backpack Safety America Month – This could be the perfect topic for Chiropractors or Physiotherapists. Pitch your local radio station…and showcase the right and wrong ways to wear your backpack so you don’t damage your back.
Children’s Good Manners Month – Perfect topic for Etiquette or Parenting Experts!
Happy Cat Month – Perfect topic for a vet or an animal trainer. How do you know if your cat is happy?
National Campus Safety Awareness Month – With all the kids heading off to school – this is a perfect reminder topic and will most definitely be talked about in national media.
National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month and National Honey Month – both great topics for Nutritionists or registered dietitians.
For all the Self Help Experts, here are 3 ideas for this month:
National Prosper Where You Are Planted Month
International Self-Awareness Month
Self Improvement Month
National Skin Care Awareness Month –Skin care is now as important to men as it is to women. If this is your expertise – what do we need to know about skin health, heading into fall?
And finally, my favorite topic is relationships! So here’s three major ones for September:
1. Pleasure Your Mate Month
2. Superior Relationships Month
3. Women's Friendship Month
I also found these 2 weekly topics:
Build A Better Image Week: 16-22 (Third Full Week) Attention Image consultants! This could be your personal image, it could be your corporate image, it could be clothing and style, or how you are perceived at work.
National Dog Week: 23-29 Perfect for animal trainers…lots of topics here – because people LOVE their pets.
PLEASE NOTE This is not a complete list of every event going on. I only share ones I think most mainstream media would pick up and share with their audience.
If any of these topics are perfect for you to speak about and you need some help creating your media release to pitch your local media – contact me at: wayne (@) Onairpublicity (.) com I would love to help you attract more clients using the power of FREE radio interviews!
Thanks.
