Halloween publicityIf you sell a product or service related to Halloween, or you’re promoting a cause or issue that ties in, start pitching your story ideas now.

But you still have plenty of time to generate publicity in your local media, at blogs, and at social networking sites.  See Special Report #14: How to Piggyback Your Story Ideas onto Holidays and Anniversaries
