What Is A Press Release

A Press Release is a message that goes out to Journalists and Editors of magazines, newspapers, TV show producers, etc. that notifies them of a potential newsworthy story that they may want to write or talk about on their TV shows, magazines, newspapers, etc. 

Why Use Press Release

Journalists and editors need new stories to write and talk about.  As a result you get free publicity for your business.  The only cost to you is the fee for the Press Release.  One Press Release goes out to thousands of Journalists, Editors and Producers.

 

A well-written release can dramatically increase your sales, expose your company to the masses, and greatly enhance the image of your business or products.
