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.
