Spread the Word About Your Business – Press Releases
OFFLINE

A simple but effective tool that you can add to your marketing toolkit is a Press Release.  A press release is nothing more than a written statement circulated to the media.  They are used to announce a wide variety of news from sales accomplishments, new openings, product developments, and awards.
 

Press releases can also be a good way of getting a feature story written on your company.  A lot of times reporters look to create feature stories about companies they have received a press release from first.
 

Press releases are very simple in nature but can be very effective in bringing in additional sales to your business.  If you haven’t written a press release before don’t be afraid to try it out.  If the thought of writing a press release frightens you too much then seek out the help of a professional PR firm or even a freelance writer.  Both of these options should deliver a top notch press release for you.
 

Below I’ve included a link on how to write a press release as well as some examples as to how to format a press release and how one looks.  Good luck!
