How often do you take advantage of Press Releases as a PR Marketing Strategy? Many small business owners overlook the power of the press release. 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. It is important to have your keywords in the headline. Don't write the press release trying to sell your products or services.
