Tools To Get Your Press Release Published.

Here are some quick tips to get your press release published:

  1. Make sure it’s newsworthy—if it’s not, it won’t get published.
  2. Take the time to develop a catchy headline that will attract attention.
  3. Write in a concise, news-style with the most important information first and the least important information last. When editors cut an article, they cut from the bottom.
  4. Find a photo that complements your release. It is much more likely to be printed with a photo.
  5. Include your complete contact information: name, title, business, address, phone, email, and website. The media need to be able to get in touch with you to do a larger story if they have time and space. Make it easy for them.
  6. Find the right person to send the press release to. You can usually find this on the media’s website.
  7. Send that person an email with the press release inside the email and attach a PDF or WORD document of the release too.
  8. Realize that you may have to send the press release more than once. Editors are busy people, and your release will only be publicized if there is space or time. This week might be too full of news to print your release, but next week might be great.

An established business knows its brand. However, they may not always be consistent or think to clean up their brand regularly. Branding is your identity, and typically, it consists of logos, business colors, fonts, mission/purpose, values, culture, and voice. As companies evolve, they sometimes struggle with keeping their branding updated across various platforms. Cleaning up your brand doesn’t necessarily mean a full overhaul. It’s best to ask, “What is my target audience and what should our brand represent?“ When there are misalignments, it’s time to step back and make some updates. Maintaining brand equity—how your company is perceived and valued—is key to your relevance and profitability. Slowly shifting and updating your branding as needed can help your company align more smoothly with its brand. Consistency across online platforms (social media and websites) is a great place to start. Go to your website or socials, then check for outdated pages, old profiles, old messaging, or missing links, and clean them out. Use your old messaging as a blueprint and make it new, refreshed, and accurate. Tighten up your branding and create an up-to-date company style guide. Ensure it contains correct fonts, your brand colors, and how to use your company’s logo. Be
