Often people confuse public relations with publicity. PR is a general
term for many activities as sponsoring, arranging exhibitions, seminars,
shows, publishing a newsletter and brochures, and other activities.
You can do the same.
Whatever you sell - to get free publicity for your product or service
is easier as you may think. And you may know, an editorial article about
your product or service is always more convincing than a paid ad - and
additional you save a lot of money. You know direct response ads. Always a phone or fax number, e-mail or
web site address is included. Apply the same to your press release. All
you have to do is to include the contact information at the end of your
text. Please see the example of a press release at the end.
To get coverage by the media, first you have to write a press release. As always in marketing, best is your product or service solves a problem. Editors are receiving every day a huge amount of press releases that contain information about the sender. The sender tells everything about himself - a common mistake. Why? Simply because most people do not care about you or your product. Remember, people buy on benefits of a product or service, not on features. But never try to sell in your press release. Offer at the end always a free brochure or other kind of free information. Before you send out your press release, it is also very important to select carefully the "right" media to get results. Ask yourself, "Who are my customers? Which magazines or other media read my prospective customers?" Will every journal we send a press release publish an
article? It is important to write a press release that is of interest for the editor and the readers. Because the first person who will read your press release is an editor, put yourself in the shoes of an editor. "Is this product or service really of interest for our audience? Will our readers benefit from an article?" If you are unsure, you better should revise your text. And please always remember: Do not try to advertise. No editor will publish advertising for free, but an interesting press release may result in free publicity. Example of a Product Press Release: Nim-Natural Products: Nim Products (Insecticide, Mosquito Repellent) are "niche-products". Articles, based on our press releases, came out in professional journals in Germany, Spain, Italy, and Great Britain. Most magazines published also our address and fax number.
