How To Write A Press Release For Your Small Business

When you write a great release announcing a new service , products or a new direction and if positioned properly, chances are good that a reporter will pick it up and run a story on you.

Did you know that the media finds a large percentage of their story ideas on the Internet ? Writing a good press release will answer the 4 W's , Who, What, Where, When , and Why in the content of the press. Have a strong headline that will grab the attention of the journalist.
