5 Tips on Effective News Releases

 

By Stephanie Andre

RISMEDIA, June 19, 2010-Do you know how to advertise yourself and what you do in the best, possible way? There are tons of great agents doing tons of great things but not telling consumers about it...or at least not getting the word out in the right way.

Here are five great tips from score.org on how you can maximize using press releases to get the word out on what you're doing in your local community:

1. Make sure they're newsworthy. Good topics include the announcement of a major new client, a celebrity appearance at your store, and community service performed by your company.

2. Create news and put out a press release about it. Speak at a seminar, for example, or provide expert comment on a trend.

3. Get your releases to the right people. Find out who at your radio and TV stations and newspaper will be the most interested in your news.

4. Capture editors' attention by putting the news in the first paragraph. Then add the necessary details.

5. Make your releases look crisp and professional. Include the name and phone number of a contact person, and answer media queries prompt
