Hi, prete01!

I can help you with this. But, first it would help to know what medium you're planning on using for your press release. Newspaper, television, radio, a flyer, some other medium, etc.?

Thanks!

Hi again, prete01!

What I would suggest doing, is posting a draft of what you might want to say on this thread, without putting any contact information in it, so that I can review it and give you some suggestions as to how you might make improvements to it.

Some of the information can even be fictitious so that you would not be using this site for advertising.

Thanks!

Another thing that I would like to add, is that you really aren't limited much as far as the content that you can put on the Internet. But, if you're going to put information in the newspaper and on the radio, then you need to check with those entities as far as pricing and how much information you're going to be able to place with them.

Thanks!

Distributing a press release to editors and news organizations is only half the battle. Writing a press release that will be published by the media is equally important. Press releases are public relations opportunities. A well written press release, can generate exposure in publications that could be worth thousands in advertising dollars, for a fraction of the cost.
