PUBLIC RELATIONS APPLICATION

No matter how worthwhile your purpose or activity, you can’t just depend on the agreement and cooperation of others. Unless your purposes are made known and real, there is little reason for others to support your efforts.

Public relations is the method one can use to get that support.

There are many PR tools available. For instance, one has surveys to discover his publics and the reality and acceptance level of each. One has the ARC triangle with the two-way cycle of communication to raise affinity and reality. There is the knowledge of manners, granting importance to others and observing their rituals, which will help one successfully interact with them.
