This is the sixth part of an 11 part series on How To Build A Great Marketing Kit.

Publishing is a terrific way to market your practice. And, it is always a plus to include in your marketing kit reprints of quality articles that you have authored. By doing so, you boost your credibility and appearance of expertise.

Samples of any published columns (either in print or on line) as well as any articles authored for the professional or lay communities are appropriate to include. Even poetry and letters to the editor might be included if they can relate to your current work as a psychotherapist and provide a positive frame of reference for your area of expertise.

Things you would not want to include here would include your entire thesis from graduate school, articles that are in no way related to your profession, and articles that do not portray you as a competent and rational professional. This is not the place for your political opinions, your editorial rants, or your personal hobbies.

Take some time today to gather some of your best writing to include in your marketing kit.

2009

This is the fifth part of an 11 part series on How To Build A Great Marketing Kit.

Before you read further, you may want to read the introduction here.

The next items that you want to collect are reprints of any articles that have been written about you. Perhaps you wrote a great thesis in graduate school and the departmental newsletter made mention of it.

Or, perhaps you were elected to chair your local professional association and an article was written about you.

Did the local newspaper write an article about your community involvement?

Did the American Cancer Society write a booklet about your experience as a survivor or exemplary volunteer?

Any article that can reflect positively on your professional image is appropriate to include in your marketing kit. By including these items, you can increase your credibility, likability, familiarity, and common ground on which to build professional relationships with your potential referral sources.
