Press Releases: Writing Press Releases

A good press release around Atlanta or other cities will answer all of the traditional “who, what, when, where, why, and how” questions about the upcoming event. It will be dated, have a source location, a bold heading, and will cover all pertinent information in an organized format.

Press releases usually range from one to three pages, and are released both online via the World Wide Web and/or in traditional newspapers and magazines. Many sites and firms specialize in dispersing press releases. They can be quite effective.

Web releases are of special interest to most companies. The press release writer, in these cases, should incorporate search engine optimization techniques (seo) amid these, just like any other web content writing, to attract readers through search engines. Writing press releases is also a skill or talent.

Personally, I do not like really wordy releases, but rather concise ones that cover all the basics. A lengthy release tends to harbor wordy and unnecessary content that the reader is simply not much interested in. The whole idea is to get and keep the readers’ attention and peak their interest, not bore them!

Alerting readers and potential clients to upcoming events is significant. It is good business. Just make certain that your press release writer is good with words and grammar, and understands what he or she is doing.
