Haggertys & Co provides public relations services to Canadian and UK markets

What are the top 3 problems construction and skilled trades businesses in Canada have with their public relations and sales and marketing?

  1. Limited Resources: Many businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), struggle with limited resources dedicated to public relations. They may lack the budget, personnel, or expertise needed to develop and execute comprehensive PR strategies effectively.

  2. Negative Public Perception: Businesses may face challenges related to negative public perception, whether due to past incidents, controversies, or misinformation. Overcoming negative publicity and rebuilding trust with stakeholders can be a daunting task without the right PR approach.

  3. Lack of Strategic Approach: Some businesses engage in sporadic or reactive PR efforts without a cohesive, strategic approach. This can result in ineffective messaging, inconsistent branding, and missed opportunities to engage with target audiences and enhance brand reputation.
