Customizing an Electronic Clipping Program/Enhancements

  Custom Index: CompetitivEdge will create a custom summary index of your clippings which can be used as a media report. You can have us organize your summary by topic, by state, by type of publication, or any other way that meets your needs.

  Executive Summary: CompetitivEdge will provide a 1-3 page narrative summarizing the contents of your clippings.

  Media Analysis: CompetitivEdge will provide a summary of number of stories, column inches, advertising equivalent and circulation reach for your clippings.

  Circulations: CompetitivEdge will append the circulation of each publication to the end of each individual article in your clipping package.

  Citation Listing: CompetitivEdge will provide a listing of appearances. Citations generally include the name of the publication, date, page and section reference, length of article, headline and byline information. 

  Multiple Delivery Formats: CompetitivEdge will provide your clippings in more than one format. For example, you may wish to have results e-mailed, with hardcopy to follow in the mail. Or you may need hardcopy with a disk backup. Or you may prefer one set fully formatted with a second set delivered as a text file for markup to html.

Other Products and Services

  Event Coverage: CompetitivEdge will track specific press releases or events for a specific period of time. For example, CompetitivEdge can cover an annual meeting, a new product launch, a crisis, a major announcement, or a publicity event. This service can be ordered prospectively or retrospectively.

  Article Retrieval: CompetitivEdge will locate and provide a specific article for $25.

  Benchmarking: CompetitivEdge will design and perform a benchmarking analysis to compare your news coverage to that of one or more competing organizations. Benchmark studies can be done on a one-time, periodic or ongoing basis.

  Brag Books: CompetitivEdge will assemble a loose-leaf brag book of positive press to commemorate a significant event or to provide a historical reference document for a firm or organization. 

  Executive Search Assist: CompetitivEdge will provide biographical profiles and past press coverage for final candidates for key appointments for the purpose of verifying candidate accomplishments, to gauge the candidates' ability to handle the media, and as a final check for 'skeletons'.

  Historical Research: CompetitivEdge performs retroactive research for periods which have ranged from 2 days to 25 years.

  MediaCheck: CompetitivEdge will provide a citation listing of press coverage for a given period. MediaCheck enables an organization to gauge the effectiveness of its public relations department or outside media consultants, to obtain an affordable summary of publicity, or to establish a tracking program when a full clipping program is not desirable.

  On The Air: CompetitivEdge can expand your coverage to include summaries of appearances on local television stations. Through our affiliation with over 50 independent providers, CompetitivEdge can track a single market ($75/month), two markets ($125/month) or all 50+ markets ($175/month). Summaries are delivered twice per month, and you can order selected video as needed for $99 each.

  Platinum Prospects: CompetitivEdge searches the full set of Marquis Who's Who Directories to provide full biographies of key individuals. This product is very popular among colleges and universities, who use Platinum Prospect to identify high-achieving alumni during capital campaigns.

All of our enhancements, options and additional services have been created to meet specific client needs.  Please don't feel limited by the above options.  If it can be done, we're happy to do it, whether your requirement is retroactive, one-time or ongoing.
