Intriguing Press Releases E-Sessions

How often do you send out press releases about your business?

Have you ever done so?

If you have, what happened to your release? Was it used? If it wasn’t used, do you know why?

To most small business people press releases are mysterious and difficult to write. They don’t understand the media and what the media looks for in a release. They’re not certain how to approach the media nor how to put together a release effectively. They’re interested in taking advantage of the “free” part of a release but have no idea where to start.

Does this sound like you?

I understand. When I worked as a salesperson in both television and radio for twelve years, I had many clients request that the news department give them some coverage, usually for a special event such as a grand opening. At the time, I was not certain how to present a story to the news department any more than my clients were, but I tried to help my clients out. From these experiences, I learned that news people do not like to have sales people bring them news stories.

I also learned a great deal more about news people and how they think. When I began my marketing business, I studied press releases. Merging this knowledge with my experiences in television and radio, I learned how to write intriguing press releases that the media will use. I developed my own form for the release and employed techniques that got my releases noticed.

Coverage from Four Television Stations
One client who was running an estate tag sale received tremendous benefit from a release that I did for him. Using a twist to develop the release, I sent the release to five television stations in the two markets affected by this sale. I hoped for one station to cover the event. To my excitement, four of the five stations covered it. All of them did an initial story and also a follow-up one.

Two Years’ Effect
Another client, a bed and breakfast in western Wisconsin, had continuing success over a year’s time with a series of press releases that I developed. The releases were printed in several newspapers and magazines, not only locally but also in Chicago and Iowa. Two years later, the bed and breakfast was still getting calls from the stories that ran off of these releases.

Over the last thirteen years of writing press releases, I have become very aware of what will interest the media.

This was illustrated when a student in an entrepreneurship class that I was teaching told me about her business, I became very excited. “Your business has great potential for press releases,” I exclaimed. “Get one out immediately!” Shortly thereafter, the business had a spring event for which I created a release. From the release, both area television stations covered the event extensively. Several newspapers from surrounding cities printed the story. Even the local radio stations used the story on their news. The result was a tremendous event and lots of new business.
