PR can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars a month, depending on the size and complexity of your campaign. When breaking down the cost of PR for your business, it’s important to consider both the short- and long-term goals.
Do you want to attract new customers or increase visibility for your brand?
Short-term PR campaigns may involve paying for press releases distribution or pitching relevant newspapers, magazines, or online publications. Longer term strategies might include launching a social media marketing campaign, or creating content that is optimized for search engines.

Generally speaking, if you want to launch a national campaign, your business will be better positioned with a PR agency working on East Coast time. As Mark Macias summarized in that Forbes article:
The debate over the day’s news agenda typically starts at 9 a.m. EST for national news organizations. It doesn’t matter if it’s 24-hour cable news, the networks or syndicated programming; this is the meeting when everyone comes together to share their thoughts and opinions on what the news should be for the day.
How to Measure PR Spending
There are a number of different ways to measure PR spending, but the most common metric is called “cost per thousand.” This measures how much it costs to generate one additional online article or tweet.
In order for your business to be considered high-value by potential customers, you will need to spend at least $200 per thousand on PR each month. However, this figure can vary widely based on industry and the region where you live.
Overall, PR spending should be a part of your overall marketing strategy if you want your business to reach its full potential. By investing in targeted content creation and social media advertising, you can help raise awareness about your brand and attract new clients or followers.
