PR News Wire - Exposure For My Business - How to Compose a Press Release to Get Designated Site Traffic
As a professional in public relations, I've written and
reviewed many press releases. Press release distribution are an announcement of
information you release to journalists as well as an effective tool to promote
your brand's image, creating sales leads and capturing the curiosity of your
prospective customers.
A well-crafted press release should tell an
engaging story that has an angle that is newsworthy and must contain the
following elements who and what, when the place, what, and what. A press release for
distribution should contain a title that contains the primary facts and
messages of the press release, as well as the primary keywords you want users
to input into search engines to locate your website. The
title and the summary are the "elevator pitch." They
are designed to grab the attention of a potential consumer or journalist's
attention at first. Your headline and summary give
the best chance to get it be read.
The best press release distribution
services first sentence must always start with the city and state from
which the news originates from, along with the date on which the news is to be
published. A second essential element is
your business or company's contact details, which can be used on a head bar at
over the front of the release but it's usually in the lower part of the
release, just below what's known as “a "boiler." A
boiler is a set paragraph about your company or organization; sort of a
background/bio/accomplishments combination that is edited into about five or
six sentences. If you are submitting contact
information the more details you include, the more complete. You
should at a minimum include a contact name and company/organization's name, as
well as a phone number, and email address.
As a publicist , I have noticed that
journalists, editors and producers tend to treat emails as they would utilize
the telephone. Media
personnel are usually on deadlines to finish their work and are often too busy
or stressed to sit in the phone line to listen to an offer or respond to one. In
the absence of a pre-existing relationship with the person calling, it is best
used only available to them. There are
exceptions for critical important, urgent breaking news which must be reported
immediately. To do this, I suggest creating
a short outline or script to ensure you can convey your message in front of them,
and then get your message through in a matter of two to two minutes, or even
less. If it's breaking news that
matches their schedule and is interesting to them, they'll seek out more
details from you via phone.
When you are writing your press release to
distribute consider the following questions:
1. What does this news mean for
my business?
2. What am I bringing in the
marketplace that is what makes me distinctive and fills a void within the
industry?
3. Who is the target people for this
information?
4. Who is our vast or even a smaller public
for this news?
5. The source of our firm's
principal revenue originate from?
6. Which news and publications,
Internet sites, radio or talk show on TV are able to reach our market?
Media professionals say that one of the
most common mistakes that people make when writing an announcement is to leave
out the following details:
1. Who is the news about
2. What is the story that you're
declaring
3. When it will take effect or be
implemented
4. The best place to advertise
your services, goods or event, your product or event, etc.
5. Why your
product/service/event/new development is relevant at this time
6. What you are doing or how it
is implemented
Another mistake that journalists point out
is a release that's too long and pompous. Press releases are not an
actual book report. It's not even an attempt to
sell or even an advertisement. It is not necessary
to include additional fillers. Do not be a burden.
Another great idea is to ensure the press
release isn't focused on a single news-related angle, but it is able to move
and has flexibility. What
I mean is to keep your primary format the same, however, you can alter the text
slightly based on the target audience. When
you distribute your press release distribution services you are able to
add, subtract or highlight certain points you believe that the particular
reader might be open to. This is in addition
to determining the target market you want to reach versus your broad market.
Then, keywords, (also known as search
engine optimization) are important factors to take into consideration when
writing an official press release. The
Internet has revolutionized the way people look for news. The
correct keywords can double or triple the expected traffic to your site. Best press release distribution such as PRWeb or
PR Web, in addition to traditional wire-based distribution (PR Newswire)
provide their news articles to news search engines. These
news search websites media outlets editors, journalists and users use keywords
to locate news stories they are interested in. Searchers
type phrases, topics or even specific keywords into search engines to find
information that is interesting to them. Knowing
which words users are most likely to enter into the news website is essential
to reach the right audience (try doing some research on Google.com/trends).
When you've completed the initial outline
of your release put your work down and grab the blank paper. Write down every key phrase or
word you think best describes the subject and the subject of your news. Then
go back and read your press announcement. Examine
if you've used the key terms and phrases, or if your text was unclear or vague. Include
the most important keywords for your search as needed. Don't
overburden your search engine by putting additional keywords that they are
needed or repeating the same words or words more than once. It
could backfire and flag your press release to websites like Google News,
specifically.
The following basic public relations
guidelines will help you gain an edge in attracting the right audience with
your announcement.
