HARO setup steps
“From the minute I watched the demo of the Batchbook Marketing Suite, including the HARO feature, I was sold. I could not upgrade my account fast enough to take advantage of this feature. Just as the other Batchbook features help to organize our team, our tasks and our contacts, the HARO function helps us organize our press opportunities. In just two clicks, I have all the reporter contact info saved as a new contact and with another couple of clicks, I create and assign a new task-list item for each new story. Before, we would read the HARO emails and think ‘what a great opportunity’, but never act on it. Now, replying to a reporter, tracking the interview and finding the press clip all gets worked into our team’s normal workflow. BatchBlue ‘had me at HARO’ with this new feature.”

“We’re loving the HARO feature and use the Social Media feature as well. Now we know what our contacts are Twittering about before we call them — nice.”
