writing press releases
Peter Finers asked:


We live in highly competitive environment, in views of many sociologists more competitive than any other society in the long history of the civilization. Competition is associated with offline industries such as agriculture, real estate business, financial and tourist services. In spite of the fact that internet is a little more than 10 years old, the competition in online is industry is just as tough as in offline one. Whatever business you might have, whatever niche of the market you may operate in, you have got to have well-optimized and well-written content on your web site, to gain attention of your potential visitors as well as major searching engines such as Yahoo, Google and MSN. However, with current increasing levels of online competition it’s not enough.

One must get maximum possible exposure to stand out from ten of thousands of competitors. How can one achieve it?! Press release writing is one of the most effective marketing tools to promote the web site of your company and your business as well. All well-known corporations and companies issue press releases. However how it must be written?! Why it is widely considered as one of the most effective marketing tools?! One must remember that however well-written and appealing your advertisement could be, consumers treat with inveterate incredulity and skepticism as exaggerated statements aimed to lure gullible persons to purchase their products and services. However, public regards representatives of mass media such as journalists, editors and radio broadcasters as authoritative and impartial persons, who aces new events, products and trends in the niche of the market you operate in.

Before your write, publish and distribute press release to the representatives of mass media, you should take into account several vital and indispensable features of press release. First, write press release when you have some newsworthy event- it might be birthday, some conference and meeting that your company holds as well as promotion or reorganization of your business. Do not try just to advertise your products and services. If you wrote the press release and it looks like an advertisement- rewrite it so it would look more like a news rather than promotion of your company. Make your press release literate; well-structured, nicely composed that follows the format set by organization that intends to publish it. On the one hand you press release should present facts, on the other hand your press release must not be overloaded with facts. Sometimes it might look easy, some persons even manage to write informative and factual press release. Yet in most of the cases one can transform the writing of your first press release to highly skilled and experienced professionals. Once your first press release has been written and completed, you might try to write your other press releases by the examples provided by other companies.
