Over 300 cities across the US will be participating in the tax day tea party tomorrow. Whether or not you plan to protest here’s a few great ideas to get your company name out there:

1. Go down to the rally and take pictures, then post them on your company flickr or twitpic profile and your company Facebook profile page.

2. Blog about the experience. Tell others what’s happening, quote prominent people there and tell them where to find their quotes on your site. Also let followers on twitter know about blog updates.

3. Find out if your local paper will let you write an op-ed, or write a letter to the editor about what’s going on.
4. Find the local news stations at the rally and offer your quote or offer to help them find the people they need to talk to for a quote. Be their informer.

5. Tweet about the rally on twitter. keep people informed about what’s happening. Be sure to include the hashtag #teaparty.

6. Offer to be a correspondent for a media outlet or website that’s interested in covering the event. The Huffington Post is looking for local correspondents. Sign up at http://budurl.com/jcuz

7. If you are opposed to the tea party idea you can also approach the news and let them know how you feel. They are looking for lots of different story angles tomorrow and will want to know your side as well.

8. You can also bring a protest sign with your company logo on it and try to get close to the cameras.

9. Also leave comments on online versions of the story in your local paper, on Youtube and in interactions with others on Twitter. Participate, participate, participate.

Tomorrow is a big day across the nation and there are a lot of great ways to get your name out there in the process. Let me know if you do get on the news using one of these or some other techniques. Good luck and happy tax day.
